I've played long enough to know that any idea has pros and cons. If we dwell on either of those too long, no changes will happen.

It would be awesome if we could have \(^.^)/ /pack pet buttom to put only purchased pets in your bag , while you are doing a quest or exploring dangerous areas , + you can use /pack pet to save your pets while a bunch of cowards are bringing lots of monsters to them in a pvp fight .i think thats nice for ppl who likes pvp , also it will help us all if someone starts a big spawn just to kill pets.So when you think its safer for your pets u can use /unpack pet to make them walk by your side again .obviously is not going to be like a house ,u can only put 2 purchased pets in your bag the ones you're currently using .

Did I miss something? Extra backpack space to safeguard pets?

If your backpack was full I don't think storing pets could be allowed (just going along with the idea), and if your pets were carrying anything that would mean dropping enough items to leave 1-2 empty spots for pets. That could be messy.

Great ideas - I just have a bad feeling about this one though; namely how unscrupulous players could learn coordinates and send their pets to claim xp from a different (safer?) part of the screen.
It's no different to walking the pet there and /waiting it.
There is a very subtle but (in my mind at least) very important difference. Currently, some players would not dare walk up and /wait their pets for fear of being attacked. The proposed method removes that barrier.

What naturally follows? Abusing it as a tactic.

Just my rather cynical thoughts: if I'm wrong, I'm wrong!
Any player would be able to move sieges into tanking position of a clan build with no risk of accidental death by said build. Aren't these sieges strong enough without buffing their ability to destroy?

In all honesty, I withdraw my previous concerns in this case, as I have figured out how (using current mechanics) to create the effect (moving pets/sieges into position unescorted) without use of chat commands at all.
