move pet does not let you control your pet, or scout with the pet, it simply lets you position it a bit better. truth is, eotb had alot more uses than simply a move command..

Really.... :shock: It's gone...? :(
I love using this spell. I do it all the time in raids while waiting for afk people. I have my pet escort others around town and through dungeons, to get through dungeons as a scout to see if that rare spawn is in there, what mobs are up in MTG, etc... Its all a bit sad thats it's gone to be honest.

Maybe its me though but Move sucks as a EotB replacement. I liked the complete ability of temporarily fully controlling my pet, not just telling it "go there and stay" =(

Made watching patrol patterns of mobs really easy when you had a Spirit Beast of Cat since you could prowl and watch in safety. Eye of Kilrogg is nice to, though more likely to be seen :(

I never claimed Move Pet was better than Eyes, but that's the reason Eyes is gone.

I don't know why they did this, it was fun sometimes and wouldn't hurt anything by being left in.

EE = scouting in BGs + scaring alliance that someone's at the flag in BGs. Oh, and I did use it on the road down to Karazhan to see whether it was safe to run down or if I was likely to be mobbed by bored alliance back in the day. Umm... yeah, that's about it for me I think.

Okay, this is utterly depressing. :<

I absolutely hate using "Dismiss Pet", it just seems quite rude to dismiss a pet when I have to jump or doing something a bit more complex. I don't treat my pet like they're stupid (although their pathing used to suck majorly and is only minorly better now). I always use EotB to move my pet where he needs to go, have them "Wait", and I follow after them.

I used to freak people out in Rend's room. I never dismissed my pet to jump down, and people would start shrieking that I was going to pull the entire upper floor when they saw my pet was still out... No, my pet was already down in the pit and calmly awaiting us. I always got complimented on the fact that my pet management never causes any wipes or unexpected pulls.

I keep a very tight rein on my pet management, a throwback from Vanilla, and I am disgusted they are removing this ability. Thoroughly disgusted.

I only ever used Eyes of the Beast while waiting for Raids.

I won't really miss it...Except that one time I used it to swim around as a crocolisk in Wetlands. That was fun.

I WANT IT BACK! Not only was it good for scouting and all of that stuff, but when I get in a dungeon group with a real douche, it's fun to EOB and aggro a lot of mobs without anyone knowing, then feign death and watch as the group wipes. I know I'm a jerk, but a lot of the people have it coming, and now I can't do it anymore!!!!!
