That is awesome news, hope you're correct. And I disagree about it not being a 100% fix. The puppies hit hard, but not so hard that it makes sense to give up wearing 2 pvp trinkets in bgs, with the +5k resil bonus that involves in addition to the agility, intellect, etc you get with the pvp trinket.
If someone wants to actually wear a kidnapped puppy trinket DURING a bg, then I think he's making a dumb choice. My problem was with the fact that you could summon the puppies before the bg and then just put your regular pvp trinkets back on during the bg.
Thanks for the fix, devs.
