Targeting pet doesn't allow for renamed in chat

[COH Radgen]

I have a pet on my Ice dom, I've renamed it but when I use $target in chat it's called by it's power name instead of the name I gave it. I can provide a screen shot if needed.  Thank you.

That is all pets. MMs see this a lot when an enemy addresses the player during combat. A combat can start with the mob going "ABC is here! Take down ABC!" and then lead to maybe "Genin! I haven't lost yet!" followed by "Jounin, this is not the end!" as the enemy cycles who its current target is. (Edit: Despite the Genin being renamed Strudel and the Jounin being renamed Bios since long before the fight.) Renaming the pet does not rename the power, and the pet is called up by its power name. (Edit again: That is why you will see MMs using slash commands with the petname parameter than $target.)
