How did humans turned to such fragile and weak entities? How is playing a game "the hard way" being "abusive"?
Is the pet "free for all"? Yes.
Can one player fight for it? Yes.
Is selling pet or killing players to get the pet against ANY rule? No.
And it's not like somebody is locking you out of any endgame or vital content like, idk, XPing.
As i said above, Pets are "extras". You either have it for Bee Hive/PVP or it's no use. Cause a pet on a non-evolved stage is of no use, for any thing.
To make it worth something you have to make it AT LEAST 1st evolution, after 40+, and get it to lv 70+.
Currently pet evo books are "farmed" from the clans that kill CC raids, mean that, currently, there's no market for it.
Your attitude is kinda toxic, gotta say, it'd be like me getting mad at people that still use the "fishing system"...why would i care? Is that a must? No.
Does that change anything on my gameplay? No.
And again: we will have A LOT of pet events, you will go from having 0 pet to own all of them and trashing them into the bin cause you can't put the item into a WH, for some reason.
