Hello, when we are mounted we can't control our pets, why you don't make it controlable? For example while im mounted and some rogue when attacks me my pet does nothing even if its in mode aggressive/defensive. Think about it! I also wanna hear the opinions from the other people!
While you might try to bring real world logic to say it doesn't make sense, that's just a game mechanic. Changing that would give pet-based classes/specializations an advantage they aren't supposed to have.
