Pets should only accept commands in /say range.

I hope that if this is changed, it is not changed arbitrarily. The way we use pets today is unique and enriching, and this post doesn’t seem able based on the research to identify a specific loc distance for commands. Surely folks would have tested and documented this on live more extensively.

Absent a specific loc distance for this, a change risks making the game less classic by restricting it beyond what it was like on live absent a specific distance that isn’t just randomly picked from approximate hearsay. I also wonder if some of the posters in these ancient archive posts simply didn’t understand how the pet mechanics functioned exactly. It seems like yes maybe pet range was shorter in the past, but by putting a number onto it without better information could have massive unintended consequences, mostly in that folks won’t be playing necros anymore in the raid environment.
