PTR notes: You got your felhunter in my windserpent!

A humorous little bug on the PTR has hunter and warlocks spinning. It seems that while implementing the new feature where pets will despawn when on a flying mount and respawn on landing, the pets have somehow gotten horribly confused and have ended up with the wrong person. Not too bad when it's two people of the same class, but hunters have been coming up with warlock pets and warlocks have suddenly discovered they have a frostsaber.
Even more awesome, the pets are apparently usable. A mage reported being killed by a felguard with Bestial Wrath. Warlocks are able to keep cats on their victims while dotting them up. This is madness!
I presume this bug will be fixed by the time the patch comes out, though I'm kind of hoping it isn't. The confusion it would cause would almost be worth the forum complaining ...
What do you think about this bug?

Ridiculously great. I hope it takes forever for them to fix this.

Wow, i'd like to experience this. I wonder what abilities are available to the user.
However, this makes me even more interested in knowing how WoW servers store the information about pets and their owners, for something like this to be even remotely possible.

This is the best bug I've seen in a long while.

That is kinda like the bug that was on the BC beta servers for a while, where every time a Hunter summoned his pet he would get a healthstone in his inventory!

So (949) 419-9866 is getting phone bombed right now? :(
But on topic, I want a big red kitty to go with all my OP dots. Then the universe will be mine.

Best... bug... ever.

I think the hunters make out best on this one. Felguard w/ BW ftw. Locks get hunter pets, but not hunter skills like BW to go with them, so, meh...

nerf hunters and locks?
