No way my friend, I bet that you are not a CH, because most would have a real problem with this. If you check out their forum, there are posts about people keeping their pets that are useless (post nerfing I mean balance), but will never destroy them, they get attached to them.

In fact I would bet that if this were even considered by the DEVS many CH's would disapear. It is because of their pets that many of them probably still exist.

I bet that many BE's are such, because they wanted to make their own pets.

So any way it's not going to happen. But, I think that the CH population should pick up again after the combat balance (as long as they aren't re-nurfed... I mean rebalanced) and once the new influx of people from the JTL comes many will explore the CH aspect providing they aren't nerfed (balanced) again.

Another thing to think about would be evaluate the pets you sell.

Pets that can only used by themselves that aren't lvl 60-70 arn't worth using as a MCH. Under 50 you may have a small market for chart climbers who can't handle two decent pets yet, but that's about it.

More focus should be placed on making duo's and trio's with armor(and or resists), good specials (onese that are On-demand),high damadge, high HAM (Health and ACTION)and popular skins.

Also I think one of the things holding us back is that our mountable pets go brain dead once trained as a mount, once this is repaired then we may see some increases, because these are very useful when they work.

This is a ridiculous idea. There are already enough drains and hardships on CH's as it is. You would see the CH community as a whole leave the game if something like this were implemented. The CH community as it stands now is made up almost entirely of players who have stayed in the game only for their creatures. That's why I'm here and came back to the game. I could not stand to be away from my pets any longer. If you take just a quick visit to the CH boards you will see that many are here for the pets only. Other than taming rares, the devs have made the game so pointless for CH's that only the hardcore have remained. This leads us to one of the biggest reasons the bottom has seemingly dropped out of the pet market. The only roll that CH's really have at the moment is taming. As such many have taken the view that natural pets are the only good pets and it demeans them to have to by BE pts. I don't agree with them, but I understand it. If the only content for CH's right now is taming, it seems rather pointless to buy them. Because of the shift to taming only, the growing issue that CH's have is storage space. I agree that it is a big issue. We should be able to "retire" our old pets that we just can't seem to part with, but are no longer useful. However, rebalancing our class to be useful in combat, I feel, is our biggest issue. If, after the combat rebalance, CH's have a reasonable roll in combat you sill see more BE pets being sold. And I'm not talking about making CH uber again, but having a roll in combat that we do best. Currently there are a few of us that are working with BE's to find ways to make pets useful in combat. We are working to find pet templates and tactics that will make them useful, and hopefully be able to help reintroduce the class back to the Star Wars community.
