Has anyone else experienced the autostore bug recently? I thought it was gone, till my pet autostored on me 3 times today. It happened in a very small area on Tatooine, i'd say about 3k or so east of the Tusken fort. I really hope this bug isn't back. I'm old school. No buffs, no armor. My pets are my life. If they disappear, well....

Yup.. Have had it happen to me too...
My dewback disappeared from mid fight with mountain squills (just from scenery, i had to STORE it from the control pad) leaving me helpless against the squills... Rather a nuisance.
Then I got my kimo out... Against same rancors... Believe it or not, same thing happened. This time another person was around and witnessed it. Yet no CSR/Dev responding to it.
I also showed this person the call-and-store bug:
1. Calla pet
2. Call 2nd pet when first appears -> 1st disappears!!!!
To prevent it, at least wait 5 seconds before calling second.... Even then it can ... happen...

wonder what would happen if weapons and armor autostored? do you think the devs would be a little more concerned with fixing it?

Such an old old old bug you'd think it would be fixed by now 
I've always said, I don't complain about content, but bugs (especially ones like this that have been in game since the beginning), should always take a higher priority to fix than adding new content. Why add on a crapload of new "content" when you have so many bugs to fix.
I've had the problem many times with my CH on Bria. Had it a long time ago when my toon on Tarquinas was a CH. And I am having with my new CH on Radiant.

I think this is tied in with the spawn going poof when you target them. This has been happening to me when I send in Leo for the kill and the taget despawns. It takes My pet with it.

Yea, I experienced it a few weeks ago. The way you have to Store the petagain before you can call it again indicates that the pet is being teleported to somewhere. Don't know. Any thoughts?

I don't know why it happens, I just think it is an absolute disgrace that it still does. If buffs and armor randomly disappeared, and all those "uber leet dudez" were suddenly getting killed by ackley and whoever else, i can guarantee you we'd have a hotfix in about 5 minutes. but basically the same thing happens to us, and it really is the same thing, and we get..."you're a CH, hehe, that's funny."

With this for the most part as long as I make my pet move it doesn't seem to happen. As soon as my pet appears I just take a few steps so my pet follows me a couple of steps and then call the next pet, I haven't had a problem using this method yet... but that may just be luck.

There are 3 possible reasons for this
1. The server is trying to balance the load by despawning animals and thinks your pet is still a wild spawn so it despawns it.
2. Server boundry lines
3. Lag. When you logout there is obviously some kind of timer that kicks in and counts down till the server stores your pet. I'm wondering if a break in connection for a long enough time will kick in this timer and dosent reset it when connection is reestablished.
It may very well be possible that all 3 of these + an unknown number of other things can make this happen.

The only time I've ever had a problem with autostoring is when I try and take on a whole squad of stormies. The moment my pet goes in and takes agro *poof* it's gone, then I have a dozen angry stormies bareling down my neck. 
I don't have much of a problem with it otherwise, but every time I try and take on a squad of STs my pet goes poof.

well it happened to me again today. i'm very paranoid about this now, and don't want to hunt anything i can't handle on my own without the buffs and armor. I don't really care why it happens. I'm just insulted that it hasn't been fixed. I don't care about CH nerfs, or that 99% of the other players think CH is pointless, but I do care about bugs like this that can ruin it for us.
