I failed to find a solution for this so I caged a lot (A LOT!) of pets before copying. Sadly there is little to do since no one pvp and the legendary pets all have the same strategy.

Have you tried the "Copy Account Data" feature when logged into the PTR? The option is found in the same window as Copy Character. Rather than copying the toon, it should copy over saved variables like collections. Sometimes it glitches out and doesn't work 100% though.

Other than that, the only other work around is to cage some of your pets and copy that character over with them in his/her inventory.

I think it's a problem all EU-Accounts have, Account Data Copy doesn't work (and it didn't for 6.1 PTR), so I did the same thing... cage everything you can (and don't put the cages into a guild bank -.-) and then start the char copy. :?

It's not just EU accounts. Mine hasn't worked since the beginning of WoD Beta. Every PTR since it fails to copy over my account.

Account copy doesn't work, as others posted. Going with the cage all pets option!
