Losing Bots When Zoning

I dusted off my level 50 Bots MM and dou'd him up with a level 26 Dom. We are running the Dom's lvl 26 missions.

I set
"Auto-accept level changes above by:" to 50
and
"Auto-accept level changes below by:" to 50

So, I don't get a prompt to accept the X down to 26 when The Dom's sets a new mission. Which is fine. I don't need to get prompted with every mission set.

However, when I zone or enter/exit missions, I lose my bots, and have to resummon them. This didnt happen before. Is this a bug? Anyone know if I need to set something else?

when you enter\exit zones you would normally get re-prompted for the level changes. When you accept a level change your minions go by-by due to the level change (since they're level is based on your level). Since you're auto-accepting...well they going by-by all on their own. I believe this is by design (currently).

It would be nice if they just adjusted their level with you, but it doesn't work that way.

However, I summoned my pets at my X'd down level (26). So they are based on my combat level not my actual level. I was running a different MM a couple months ago, and never had this problem with my pets when I was X'd down, or Lackyed up. My pets never died when zoning since the new super sidekicking system (As long as I set the auto accept level options to 50).

I haven't run an MM in a couple of months, so now it different.

if your level changes (such as going from 50 to 26), your pets will go away.

For example, if your on a team...summon your pets while in a mission (and you're side kicked to 26)...when you exit the mission you'd normally get another prompt about changing level since when you zone you zone as your actual level..not as your side kicked level. Because of this your lvl 26 bots go away. If you zoned as your side kick level, this wouldn't happen, but that's not how it works as far as I can tell.

Funnily enough, I've had a wierd thing where I SK to someone higher with my bots and when my level jumps my bots stay the same level. Didn't even realize I was running around with Grey bots for half a level and doing absolutely nothing but creating a lightshow.

I have the issue if my MM is the team leader but doing the missions of a teammate of a higher level. When the mission ends and I zone out I drop the auto sk and bots die. On a duo I make the higher level teammate the leader, usually doing those missions anyways and that helps a lot.
