How about our own buff duration timers?

It just seems like certain things are being picked on to dismantle while others are not.
We really fix it as we find it. And if its easy to fix, it gets done quicker. I have bugs I have been looking at on and off for weeks, with still little to no progress.

If its a bad exploit, it goes to top priority. Which means almost everything gets put off code development wise, until we come up with a fix.

The pet buffs were like ... oh ya, i forgot we couldn't see pet buffs. Thats easy to fix.

What about /pet report health?

Hmmm, lets look through some old patch notes.

Nope, buffs didn't get added to that until after SoL was out.

Thats easy to fix too.

Thats how some patches go, to make things more classic.

If I could figure out how to make all your buff timers go away too, they would be gone. I do have some ideas on how to do it. But it is low on my list. But if people complain about pet buffs too much, maybe it will move up on my list.
