This is one of the irritating bugs in Pub 7. Only /tellpet works, and that stops working as soon as you stop, once the pet catches up to you it stops following. Also, I have not seen my mounted pet execute attack something that is attacking me despite being given a guard command, this makes sense, since it had to be following for guard to work before.
This makes a mounted pet far less useful. Previously, it was worth riding a mount instead of a vehicle between closely spaced missions, because you could hop off and have a fully functional pet. It followed you so you could hop on to ride away when you were done. It contributed its damage, and a little distraction. It didn't lose its bufs as it would when stored, and never got stuck while you were riding it. The guard command was the pest way to have a pet select a target, as it rarely drew agro except from adds.
I havn't seen any indication that this is a recognized bug. Perhaps it is a stealth nerf to mounts.
Just to be clear...
I dont say the pet stop following me when it catch me....
I say IT DOES NOT FOLLOW ANYMORE....
Sequence:
1-Call the pet...
2- the pet comes out of the datapad...
3- go away a little bit forward with my char.
4 - type /shout f (f is my follow me command)
5- the stupid cu pa stay on his harss....

But actually it's been around since publish 6. And while it is true that they come when you use a /tellpet follow, if they come to a stop, they're now "parked" again, so if you don't want them to park, you better keep moving. As a note, they behave like a normal pet until you actually climb on their backs then dismount.
As another strange note, lol, if your pet is in combat, don't mount it. After a few more turns, he will stop attacking and will no longer respond to another attack command, even if you dismount it.
