Ranger themselves most likely would get a penalty to their own stats to make up for that, tho. Stronger pet, weaker ranger, but the playstyle is focused on hard CC, so that you deal less damage doesn't matter that much, since your job is mostly to keep the enemy in place for your pet to kill it.

The GW2 community would not care at all about the diminishing stats on ranger as all they'd see would be them...being killed by an AI and not the actual ranger; the community would rise up in arms to see the pets being nerfed to the ground and below...no compromises ...no mercy.

No pets no play, simple as that. I dont play the ranger to be a glorified thief with a nature aesthetic; I Want a pet focused bunny thumper with big monster pets. If it ain't that its getting the same treatment a soulbeast which is "It doesn't exist, at least not a living one."
