9 Years Later: WvW/PvP Mini Pet Stealth

So far as I've noticed, and I'll be happy to be shown wrong, mini pets are not given stealth with their owner. There is no good reason for it to not have happened 9 years ago.

It would make a lot more sense if they introduced the automatic deactivation of mini pets in all competitive game modes.

Minis are a reward and cash novelty, so the least harmful way to make them not interfere with competitive play is to code them to stealth when the owner has that buff.

Really, who has the time to adore them during competitive gameplay?

Deactivation would be easier, since the function already exists (they get automatically deactivated when a map is highly populated). Coding a stealth function for mini pets would be a lot more work.

So you've seen the code lines that apply stealth to models and know that there is something special about the minis models that makes it difficult?
