There is an option so they don't stack on top of each other unlike hit boxes. Look all I'm saying is that small hit boxes in PvP don't matter to people who PvP, big hit boxes can be used so that even clicking on nameplates won't work but that's why people tab.

Could I ask where I find that option in the settings, please? The most I do in settings is set my bars and auto-loot so I've literally no idea where anything is :'D

For some, though such as myself, small hit boxes do matter. Unless I mistaken, the raven pets aren't used only because they're cunning spec - they're small and difficult to target. Overall, though, pet size is only a problem if it's ether too small or too large, regardless of the hitbox size, and there are ways around it, to be fair. It's just a little awkward. And there's small pets, like ravens, and then there's Bufo. Bufo is way too small :lol:

I think they point is, that even though person A may not like clicking or mouseover, person B can find it better and still be "in their right mind". When I pvp on my hunter, and I do not like having large pets for various reasons. For example, my chimeras die super-fast in group fights. And I do not cycle through tab targets to cc a pet, and nameplates are fairly narrow, so the ability to mouseover the actual model can matter. I don't claim to speak for everyone who pvps, and I think it's presumptuous for anyone to do so.

In regards to your second question, yes people like to use small pets because, like I mentioned before, not everyone knows about or uses nameplates. So crafty PvPers use this and other things to their advantage.
I like to "hide" in big pets when PvPing, I stand on them so that I am harder to target by people who click to target. :mrgreen:

Excellent, thank you~ I'll have to give that a go in PvP to see how it feels as opposed to the chaos that it currently is when people clump together :')

I'll also stop going too off-topic now, hehe

Just tamed Bufo, he is still shrinking to the size of a companion pet!
Get him while you can!

Sadly, he doesn't croak or makes any sound when clicked on, unlike all the other frogs/toads.

Marsh Gulper, same appearance, also tames small. Don't remember what sounds it made, as I didn't keep it.

Yeah, it sounds funny at first, but the thing is that tenacity are no longer considered tank pets, strictly, but just better at enduring. Actually, even then it seems weird that a squishy toad would be tenacity - if anything they're cunning, good at avoiding danger.
