Please bring back /ignorepet command

[Redex]

Hello,

A major problem for gamepad/ps3 users is targeting. While the targeting customisation options are great, one recurring problem is the targeting of pets/summons when pressing the 'X' button - there is currently no way to filter this or turn it off.

Please add the /ignorepet [subcommand] option that was in FFXI! This worked really well and made it much easier to target accurately.

I totally agree to this and find it very annoying the way it is now. I use my own target filters and for FATEs especially, when I have it on enemies only, it cycles through everyone else's summons, while I try to target the mob, and when it finally does, it's too late and it already died.
We have already the ignore minions option which is very useful, but we also need it for summons.
Also it is very annoying if you try and target the retainer bell in a city and you have to go through everyone's personal Ifrit/Titan/Garuda first.

I've found with controller that there's the r1 button filtering you can setup, and in that there's an enemies only setting that doesn't get people's pets. I don't normally see people with their summons out near the retainer bell. Does the Other/NPC option work to only get the bell in that situation? When I'm in town, I put it on a filter that is only the other/npc option with all others off.

The 'enemies' filter works when press left & right on the d-pad, but initial selection when pressing 'X' (i.e. the closest target in your character's line of sight) includes pets, even if you're in the 'enemies' filter mode. The problem is that this become fiddly and slow to select the right target afterwards, time which can be crucial in important battles or fates.
