Mount pets lose buffs, Blizzard CM misses the point

 

It seems that Blizzard CM Shaantie made a crucial error when responding to a World of Warcraft Europe Forum member’s inquiry. The error being missing the point of the original post. The post by Loki was simple, in that it basically asked why pet buffs go away when you mount your pet. Shaantie’s response is such:

This trouble is Fixed on our latest test version.

On the ground, when you summon your Steed, your pet is dismissed automatically with his buffs and goodness. When you dismount or are dismounted, the same pet reappears and the buffs reapplied.

In the air, it’s the same thing. The pet is dismissed when you mount and comes back when you dismount. buffs come back too. This does prevent your pet from trying desperately to follow you on the ground and agro the whole area.

Thing is we already knew all that. This answer does not in anyway refer to or even address the point of the original post in the Forum thread which was, again, a request to make pet buffs work while players are mounted and pets summoned.

Anyhow, CM un-response aside, what’s your take on the issue? Should buff’s stay on while mounted? Is this a reasonable thing for Blizzard to implement?
