The real CH problem from the BE perspective isn't those few crying nerf the BE's.
The problem is CH's being nerfed/bugged into obliviion. Publish 6 added two new 'features', pets stand right on top of you so it's tough to target anything friendly close by, and pets now seem to chase mobs away from lairs, which'll make em real popular in hunting groups when everyone has to run all over creation chasing mobs. These are on top of the unfixed auto-store and broken follow.
Publish 7 will have the new 'feature' of calling pets anywhere, except for a 30 second delay for the pets to appear. Both a real plus for solo and group hunting, lol.
Sure, the CH boards are noisy and are a small vocal few. But, in-game, there are a lot less MCHs around than there was a month ago and certainly two months ago. People I talk to are giving up CH skill points to pursue other profs. Even die-hards, who have been CH since day 1 are walking away from it.
Where am I going here? Well, unless you all like making tissues and additives, your (speaking as a CH, not enough BE to call myself that by any stretch yet) market follows the CH profession closely. It really seems to me that BEs should be supporting CHs and instead of posting about them being whiny kids and the like, you might post support instead.
As the number of CHs decrease or they give up some of their skills, your market for pets and advanced stims goes south too.
Maybe I'm wrong, but for me if it comes down to a badly mangled CH profession and there's no market for BE pets because of it, I'll be saving myself $15 a month because to me sitting and crafting 'parts' is about as boring as it can get.
Just some food for thought while you're fishing!

sitting & crafting is about 5% of being BE, unlike other crafting professions, we have to get the parts ourselves, sometimes traveling to 2-3 planets to make a certain creature

Drako,
I should have been clearer. When I said parts, I meant stims, tissues, etc. I enjoy getting DNA and actually creating pets. But if the market dries up because CHs are leaving, crafting the rest of the stuff is of no interest to me.
