Would love a bot command to get them to shrink their pets. My Shammy's pet sorta gets in the way of looting and sometimes during agro alot.

I want all pets to come shrunk.
No one at all likes the big pets.
It gets in the way of targeting and other issues.
I've been harping about how stupid it is for over a year and steadily ignored the whole time.

Gnomes are the spawn of Innoruk, no matter what they say. Still, it's worth it just to be able to say, "Say hello to my not-so-little friend!"

well I've no problems with anyone wanting a HUGE pet, just...well, I'd like the option of shrinking mine. Maybe you could tell a shammy bot to shrink or grow a pet /shrug. Big pets can mess up targeting.

I'll see about adding the function for it in later this week

As for normal pets I keep meaning to go through and shrink them some, just haven't got to it. I'll take care of it as well later this week.

Yup, You took the words right out of my mouth.
Like the /chatfontsize command, it would be nice to have a /petavatarsize or /petbodysize command so we could set them to our own desired sizes, as defaults.
That or let everyone get them tiny by default, and make grow clickies available for the minority of players that like giant pets.
I have not seen one petson in game or vent express anything but dislike for the large sized pets.

Many thanks for taking a look at this.
Some random thoughts:
Probably if you are grouped you don't want someone to arbitrarily shrink your pet or grow it. Of course if you don't like how your pet is handled in a group you could always leave the group or raid as well.
Maybe could do something like corpse dragging /consentshrink
Shammys and shammy bots could then shrink or grow consented. For bots could use a command something like #bot shrinkpet.
