Lag may be a possibliity as I sometimes wonder if the server is trying to reconcile datastreams and whatnot. It's recently spilled over to mobs despawning. I'm not completely sure if the 2 are related...but it can't be coincidence when both my pet and one or 2 nightsisterspoofs in the middle of combat.

I never thought of that!!!!!!!!!!
I had the theory that when you crossed a server boundry line the pet couldnt tell where you were so whenthe system tried to warp itto your location instead of warping it to you, it warps to a random location.
Ok sorry for cluttering your board im gonna go take this back to the CH board!!!!
So right now its probably either
1. Lag
2. Server boundry lines
3.servers trying to reconcile datastreams
4. All of the above
Number 3 brings up an interesting point. If the server is despawning pets to try to manage server load then people on servers with a lower population should expirence this less than people on servers with a high population. It should also happen more at peak hour times as well.
EDIT: Hmm another though occured to me.....If they fixed pets not being able to tell where you are when you cross server boundry lines this might actually fix the BH tracking droids because some Jedi that dont use the login/logout exploit have reported that missions have been broken on them as well. Strangely enough the pet warping and BH droid problems might just be related
