Yeah, I know ridiculous title, probably bad title. But I feel like I'm a broken record on this already, since it truly drives me insane. Despite repeated bug reports sent in during Beta by various testers, Multiple reports on Live... not a single hotfix or note by Blizzard seems to address an issue that seems pretty important (at least to me):

HATI DOESN'T RUN.

And it's a big issue to me because, I'm fine with him not having Dash or whatever. But he should have the baseline speed/run of at least every other pet that we tame/own? It's a big deal to me because Hati is a part of our Artifact, a part of our weapon that's meant to be relevant and powerful throughout the expansion. Yet Hati's speed is easily a DPS loss (more than usual) when he takes forever to get to a trash pack to begin attacking. Not to mention a major trait of our weapon "Master of Beasts" allows Hati to Beast Cleave, Kill Command, and BW when our main pet does... which does no good when main pet is the only pet actually in range to begin using those abilities, meaning Hati is a dps loss while he shuffles over (or alternatively, you can wait til Hati gets there and then go ham on the target, but you're still delaying abilities which equals dps loss).

TL;DR I'm sorry I'm ranting but...

Does Hati run yet? Has anyone even seen a blue comment on this issue? Or am I just crazy because I'm the only one letting this power-shuffle wolf drive me crazy with that walk? XD

And I can't imagine it's "meant" to be this way. I remember distinctly in the beta (prior to the May 19th build on the beta) Hati ran fine beside me. It was after the May 19th build went up that Hati stopped running for me and acts as he does currently in Live. So I know he can run.

;_; Sorry for the rambles I just.... I just want him to run!

You are absolutely 100% right!

I can't see how this would be intended behaviour.

For those unsure what the issue is, check out this quick vid I made doing some world quests:

You can see the main pet dash in and Hati casually saunters toward the mob.....who is dead by the time Hati even gets there.

If our Lurker sees this; please help fix Hati! Maybe his paws hurt? Is that why he can't run unless on a mount?

EDIT: I am also puzzled by the priority system Blizzard uses to fix bugs. Obviously, there has to be a priority system but how does making your pet look like a demon or a murloc (which is purely a cosmetic bug and does NOT affect game play) get priority over a bug that has a real effect on game play? I doubt the code is any more complex to alter....
