Okay, I have no idea where to go with this because its a question on pet interaction with quest objects, but is it intended that your pet killing/destroying a quest linked objective (say bestman tribe asking you to destroy a tower) will offer zero gains towards you or your task or am I doing something wrong?

The pet is counted as my character "attacking" via proxy like it is in other games right? (I play scholar most of the time because queues take forever otherwise.)
