I would like to ask if the demeanor on companions can be looked at. It currently follows the player rangers demeanor. However, it can be bypassed. The Pet verb for example ignores the rangers demeanor. I would ask that our companion's demeanor to be adjusted if possible to allow the ranger and companion to each have their own demeanor. Also that the various interaction verbs be checked so they are not be able to be bypassed.
Having someone join your group at this time also bypasses demeanor and allows people to do anything they like to the companion.

I agree and also like to see different messaging based on demeanor. This was discussed in this folder i think a year ago and would still like an over haul of the companion messaging.

Demeanor, 'pet verb' Bump bump bump:) it ignores demeanor. Please have it follow the rangers demeanor, like rub and other verbs.
