Thoughts about Warcraft patch 5.2 on PTR

Patch 5.2 PTR Now Live - World of Warcraft: "Any pet that has been killed in a pet battle will now never respawn"

Vague and confusing.. what is the real meaning of what they meant to say?

If your pet died permanently in a pet battle, I think that'd really change the game. A lot more scouting for 'good' pets would take place.. camping spawn points..

Another thing about spawns in Warcraft I've always which they'd change: make anything spawn off-screen and move to their 'home' locations. Surely the AI's pathing algorithms are good enough now that you could drop any creature anywhere and let it find it's way 'home'. It just floors me out of the game-mindset when a nonmagical creature appears out of thin air.

Also, get rid of 'evading'. Some of the funniest things happen when people spend hours dragging mobs way faraway from 'home'.
