I've been hopping on and off the job for the last 2 days. Been trying it as a main job in different areas as well as a sub job and the puppet isn't responding at all to Deploy. Not only have I tried zoning into different areas I've also relogged to see if it fixes the issue. I know pup has been broken since the release of this server but I've been enjoying using it regardless of the fact all it can do is auto attack. Now I can't even do that.
I don't think it's ever going to get fixed but if you could just look into being able to have it auto attack again I'd really appreciate it. This is a job I enjoy playing when I don't want to farm, lvl up, craft, etc. It would be my main if it actually worked lol, but I'm fine settling with just an auto attacking puppet at this point. I hope you give this post a read and some consideration @Nasomi. I'll still be here even if it doesn't get fixed anyway. 
Yours truly, Simba.
