    What problems? I never played the beta or alpha so I don't know: I just can't seem to see a problem, except the technical ones (missing data, not enough server power...you know, the usual ones that are overused).
    My guess is that the game is struggling on data and power that minions would be another power sponge or something?

    From what I remember (it would have been no earlier than phase 1 of the Beta as the Alpha did not feature minions) it was because players found it annoying to tab target when minions were out in dungeons, with clusters of minions all close together made targeting frustrating as anything, especially for healers. Accordingly Beta testers asked SE to remove the ability to call minions in dungeons, and SE agreed. Hence I don't see SE restoring minions again to dungeons or trials I'm sorry to say.

    That...seems a bit overkill for a simple thing issue that could be easily solved by not allowing tab targetting on minions (just like the OP said and pretty much any mmorpg on the planet does).
    It's like killing a patient because his legs were broken....who does that? xD
