I havn't had anything autostore on me in months. It was never something that happned a lot to me anyhow, but as of late not even my vehicles have been autostoring. I remember that one of the patches claimed to have improved or fixed this phenominon and I'm wondering if it worked. I certainly havn't seen the usual spate of posts complaining about it, but it could just be folks are tired of complaining about it.
So please, if you have had an autostore in the last week too or if it used to be a problem and no longer is I'd love to hear about it. It would make my heart glad if they have actualy managed to eliminate or lessen this problem which was one of our #1 complaints.

I haven't had a problem with vehicles autostoring since the last publish, plus as an added bonus, when I tell my vehicle to store it *always* does now. 
With pets, I'm not having autostoring problems but I have noticed a couple odd times (buried on the forum now) where a pet will ungroup, disappear visibly, but is still out according to the datapad (I have to "store" it). This also seems to happen when I die -- as I arrive in the cloning center, my pet(s) ungroup yet need to be stored.
It's probably server boundary related and difficult to track down, but I think the Devs are gradually figuring out and fixing these wierd bugs.

When I pull out two pets at once, it seems if i do not wait 5 seconds between calls, the first pet dissapears. Now it doesn't autostore back to the datapad, as it still shows the 'store" command in the radial, but it just dissapears, causing me to store it and call it again. This has happened at least 20 times in the last week or so.

My pets don't auto store. What they do is disband and warp out of sight. I have to store them and recall them. They do this very frequently especially on corillia. I have been db'ed once because was getting trapping xp and both my pets did it at once with me in the virtual middle of a group of mobs. I do not hunt on corillia much any more for this reason. It happens every so often on other planets but not much. It does happen though. So at least for me the problem exsists and is more than a little inconvienit

My CH was on admin to some harvesters near the SW corner of Naboo. I went there to do the usual top up and the place seemed to have quite a few Maulers right by the harvesters.
I wasn't buffed, so I pulled out my trusty Rancor to group, take agro whilst i finished em off. This was working quite well until he *appeared* to autostore.
The 2 band group (me and pet) disbanded. I had to scarper. When I lost the agro I went to the datapad and the option was still "Store" and not "Call". However Razor (my rancor) had already disappeared so with no alternative, I hit "store" figuring the game still thought he was out there although Razor wasn't (ghost rancor? ) - then was able to call him again.
) - then was able to call him again.This was after Tuesday's patching, so still happening (but don't know how frequently).
edit: a bug still happening - even if not quite technically "auto-storing"

I very seldom had autostore in combat but they often get stuck when I travel. And in recent combat they have been doing the *not* autostore but they are *not* there eitber. They dissappear from the group when this happens as well. What with solo groups and all I dont do much combat these days so have not been killed by autostore or !autostore bug. Pets getting lost while following is my big annoyance at the moment. Now recenty because of being in a CH guild (BEAST
) I expect to do more combat thru actual (not solo-group) hunts.-Indene-

It's been a while since I've had a "traditional" autostore happen to me (i.e. the pet leaves the world and may be immediately called from the datapad).
I have been seeing people report more instances of this "warp/autostore" (where the group disbands and the pet vanishes, but you must first Store it in the datapad before you can Call it).Autostoring's not completely gone, but I do think it's gotten a lot better than it once was.

Interesting, so it would seem while "auto-store" has been addressed we have a new issue where pets are warping off somewhere and ungrouping. I wonder if they are headed to 0,0 like in the olden days.
Thanks for the feedback folks. Seems as if the devs actualy did make a change to one of our bigger problems.
Thanks Devs.
We should add this new behavior to our request list I'm thinking.

Yes, I too have had the warp pet to who knows where problem. Group is disbanded and pet shows it is still out on datapad. Have to store and recall and wait.....Seems like kinda the same problem as before. The result is the same. If we are fighting anything we are DEAD.

Me too to all the above. Jolly annoying when you've just got your pet buffed and walked a couple of kilometres out of Coro to bash the shnaffers.
