Does this mean that you can leave stuff on charms and they'll have it when they log back in?
No. I realize these one-line summaries are confusing, so I'm happy to elucidate.
"Pets" - Any store-bought pet, charmed, animated or tamed non-unique NPC. Not players who are charmed.
"Drop their excess gear" - Refers to the "remove all; drop all" behavior.
"When leaving the realm" - Refers to the above creatures being saved along with your player file when you quit.
Pets already dropped their excess gear when leaving the realm - that did not change. Unfortunately it went a lot further than that. Anyone who was charmed in any way, including player characters, would drop their gear whenever the charm affect ended. So the bug fix is that the remove gear functionality only works when it was originally intended to do so. Charmed players will not be subject to automatically dropping their gear whenever an ally helpfully cancels their charm effect.
