Except they will be OP, because Mage pets will have abilities from launch and there will be pets past level 20. So it's not some sort of mistaken "thinking" on the part of the players.
Further, there are multiple things like this that didn't exist at launch in 1999 simply due to lack of development resources and/or bugs. There's no reason to replicate something like that as of Green launch.

Problem with your statement is that pet spells were considered "enhancement to the class" by Brad himself...you know the guy who created Everquest? Meaning that these were not a bug or lack of development resources. See bold in quote below. At the time they only wanted higher pets to cast spells apparently. So, no, not a bug bro.
