When my tamed pet died, I did not see his corpse so I ran out of the zone but he was still dead.

If this is the new desired behavior, I have a suggestion. The corpse of the dead pet should appear very noticable in the terrain environment, from a long distance, and in the compass in very bright icon. This is a big deal for tamers and pet owners who have purchased an expensive pet. We need to be able to find the pet corpse to resurrect it. Currently we cant see the corpse until we are right next to it! That is very unfair and unreasonable. We love our pet. We want to resurrect it. We have had just about enough punishment as tamers. Just toss us a bone here and make it easier to find the pet corpse.
