Yeah, if the pet is now greater than 200 clicks from the mob, you cannot send it to attack the mob. Using /pet attack or the hotbars.

<edit> If the pet is greater than 200 clicks away from a mob, it will also not assist you if you get attacked.

What a great way to drive the nail in the coffin.

"If I can't pet track I can't have fun here in any conceivable way!!"

Pet tracking deserved to be nerfed and I support it. What is or isn't "classic" is a nebulous concept because of emergent player behavior that did not exist in 1999. If a change makes the server feel more classic because it disallows an emergent player behavior which itself is unclassic, that's a good thing.

That range limitation has been in prior to this patch. This patch prevents the pet from showing the "attacking xyz master" message for targets outside of that 200 loc range and AFAIK a pet attack is no longer queued up making the pet attack the target once it's within that 200 loc range.
