No one has asked for a full revision. What the OP asked for, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is that the JA range needs to be increased slightly (I suggested ~9-10y) to allow us to function the way the devs have told us to function. If it wouldn't require a full rebuild of the pet system, I think that changing JAs so they cared about distance-to-target instead of distance-to-pet would also work.
As is, it is quite easy to get an "out of range" error while meleeing with your pet if you are more than a few degrees to the side of your pet. The range nerf was a bugged solution which exasperated existing racial differences and it's been long enough that revising the range would not cause BST to jump back up as the FOM bandwagon job.As the previous problem was a complete breakdown in game mechanics, it's not possible for them to create more issues.
For the {Over there.} BSTs, nothing changed other than needing to run in/out for JAs. This was enough to chase off the "terribad" bandwagoners, but those who enjoy the job are still here, and it is a very reasonable request for an adjustment that is required for us to be able to play the job the way the devs have stated that they want us to.BST is perfectly fine now, you no longer can stay back at 20 feet and spam ready macro while watching TV. Now you need to pay attention to the fight mechanics, run in and out of range while maintaining situational awareness and adjusting gear dynamically. You and most other terribad BST's are incapable of doing that, you played BST because it was an "easy" way to get stuff done and since it's no longer "easy mode" you feel bad. The good BST's have long since adjusted their play style and are doing just as well as before, I know because I play with a bunch of epic BST's.
