Game Mechanics: Issues with charmed pets

[Karnek]

When charming an NPC even in the original days I was able to press F1 twice to select my pet. This helps immensely in buffing the pet if you pull two mobs at a time with charm.

The second issue is target nearest npc is grabbing charmed pets as well, and once they are charmed they should no longer be treated like an NPC and should be flagged as your pet. If you pull a mob with charm and try to use select nearest npc to send the pet in you are just as likely to target you pet and get beat on.

The third issue is that the charmed pet does not default to guard mode. Or maybe he does and they just don't react when I am getting beat on. But the default behavior was that you charm the mob, the other hits you and your charmed pet jumps right in without hitting pet attack.

Each issue by itself isn't that bad but if you're mainly charming in your group it can cause some difficulties.
