And while this is an "other user error" thing, more often than naught people just stare blankly at your charm pet with auto attack on trying to attack it. warning macro or not.

Just mez
do not charm
Nope. It depends on a bunch of factors if its worth it to charm or not, not simple "don't charm in group" dogmatism. Your "group" might only be 2-3 people. You could be sitting there waiting for spawns because the area has been broken already or you could be just breaking the area where caster/healer mana is vital to the groups efficacy.. You could be sitting there in a group of fully twinked characters dump trucking everything or non twinks plodding along. Party class composition, mob types, and many other f things play into it..
