Thread: Uber Non CH Pet Question
I'm not going to comment on the "ethics" of thse pets, as it's been beaten to death and everyone already knows how I feel about them, but you should realize that these are probably not items you'll find on vendors. Why? BE's often don't even have vendors since we are not artisans, and second, I can't even keep "legit" non-ch pets in stock, there is too much demand for them relative to the time I can put into them, so I'd imagine it would be even worse if I were selling the 10k HAM ones. I'd say you were jackpot lucky to find one on a vendor at any price, and if you really want to use one of these, with the understanding that you run the risk of it becoming non-callable at any time, then I don't see how 700k is so excessive. Look at it this way, you are paying 700k, and saving yourself a mininum of around 20 skill points, by getting a pet that by all rights should only be callable by a CH with one "column" of CH skills. If I could pay 700k and get 20 more skill points I'd do it in a second. Hell, I'd pay 7 mil for that.
Oh, and Bendi, careful what you wish for... I wouldn't wish the Bria economy on any BE, it's a very rough server to be a BE on. I've even thought of using the character transfer feature just to bail on it and head for greener pastures, it can be that bad.

Hmmm perhaps, but so far I've only found one vendor selling em. I even asked some BEs that didnt have vendors / sell them , and they told me they cannot be made anymore either....

In NancyJ's dev communication thread, they said this, but he is also VERY clear that they are not an exploit, IE the BE's making them are not doing anything wrong. They are an unintended product of the entire clone crafting system, so the devs have the good sense not to punish anyone thats making the best of it.

Point out one post from a dev that says it's a bug. There is a post that says the uber CL10's are over powered and will be fixed. Of course that was back in February or March. They haven't even been addressed let alone fixed.
"Its not that its impossible , its just thjat its a bug aka EXPLOIT, can you kids pro nounce that word, I;'m sure you can't because you don't understand what it means. "
I dont see how having a pet razorcat with about 9k ham and 50 kinetic can possibly be an exploit. He doesnt even last that longcompared to anr3 unit with self repair and he sure the hell don't have ranged.Sure he looks cool, but r3 also has his own personality, and an electric based cannon attack.
My cathas a couple special attacks, but to get him to use themeffectively i would needto have CH skills.Once i dropped rifle and picked up tka, he became TOTALLY useless to me. I would have given him back to my friend but she got a "better one" which really wasn't that much better.
I am boggled that people are that concerned about it, and I am amazed at the price some people on bria charge for these pets when I can fight better than they can with novice brawler.
