Just a repost from the test forum I made regarding a bug in /target and /focus rendering these targetting functions not work as intented by using a bug.
Affect in particular pvp.
If a hunter names his pet the same way as any other guy in his team, the targetting fonctionality such as;
/target name
/focus name
That relies on unique names, do not work anymore, also affected are all mods using these functionality to target such as proximo.
Currently Blizzard is not forthcoming on what their procedure is when someone is reported as using this bug to intentionally gain an advantage. I am therefore reporting this bug in the hope that it gets fixed.
I hope some guys that work in the LUA/macro department give us some feedback on how to go around this problem or wheter a fix might be coming.
I have also posted on the wowace forum and the modders are all adament, nothing can be done until blizzard does something. Until them, manual targetting is the only way.

there is no blue tagged post explaining blizzard stance on this since posts on this were moved, some replies are backed up here, although it seems GM are unaware as to how to deal with this.
