Newbie Rant - Summoner Pets

They're small to help with visibility concerns. You don't need player-sized pets (or larger) blocking the view in an MMO that's heavy on dodging AoEs and dealing with mechanics markers over player's heads.

Exactly this. Giant summons are fine in single player games. They're not fine in MMOs where you have to watch for small markers over your heads or on the ground. I wouldn't mind a compromise like upscaling summons outside of dungeons/raids since we already have goobues and fat chocobos running around but absolutely not for duties.
