its really up to your concience and the stats of the pets. If they're no better than a standard cl 10 pet then I dont see any problem in keeping them or selling them or giving them away.
If their stats are higher then its up to you to chose whether you feel right using them or whatever.
I dont know exactly how CH xp would work, afaik the lower the level of the pet the more XP the owner gets but I havent been a CH since beta so dont quote me on that - but anyway I think with high stats a CH could behefit significantly from having a cl 1 pet.

We cant really tell you what to do - its up to you to decide what you think is right

I'm surprised a CSR told you you could use the "bugged" pre-publish 6 deeds without a telling off (unless, as has been said earlier, it's stats werea bit naff).


I can't bear to destroy pets if I can avoid it - and I also avoid anything that smacks of an "exploit", so still have a couple of packs full of the little buggers stashed (mostly blurgs and anglers - although there is at least 1 rancor as well).


I just wish they'd say something definitive - even if it was to throw these pets off a bridge..................


TBH I can't see them allowing me to run about with 2 rancors and blurrg!

I had a bunch of lvl 1 pets made before the change also. When I was unable to play for two months that was when all the changes were made. So when I finally did get back on I "bugged" pets and deeds and I had a bunch of usless dna templates ... remember when they weren't generic? And these creatures were obviously stronger than lvl 1. I just deleted them, though it was painful to do so, I thought it was the right thing to do.

It's curious. THe dev's have known about these pets for a long time, have made two sets of fixes to BE pet levels and these things are sticking around. Now a CSR tells someone they are A-OK. Wierd.

They aren't really level 1 pets --they show level one but, for example, when you pull the blurrg out, itaffects your ability to pull another pet like a level 50 pet would (because that is the blurrg's wild level) -- so,you won't be able to pull more than2 of these out. Yes you can use them - of course they have no specials and are essentially wild creatures without the specials (same resists as wild), but any good BE can make better. Also, if the creature has any ferocity at all, you won't be able to pull them out as a non-ch, so it really isn't an exploit to use them (a non-ch cannot use one of the pre-nerf dewbacks or rancors for example). Also - to tame them, you must be of a level to tame the wild version.


That's probably why theDevs didn't care about these -- because they're essentially wild pets sans specials.

i still have one of these i keep more as a novelty. besides, it was my first pet and has sentimental value. to be able to call it as a CH i had to be at least level 20 i think, which is about where it should be, however when i had pack management i could use it with a pet that was 1 lower then my CL. i got full CH xp, they only catch was i had to pull out my "normal" pet first, then the "bugged" pet second or it would give me the "beyond your current level" message

saw one of these yesturday, someone i met asked if i would be interested in a CL1 - 11k ham rancor, i said id not be interested at all as it is a bugged pet, i still have a bunch of these that i use for decoration (one of each species i made before the big change, most of them seemed kinda bugged now) and he said he was trying to sell it for 20 mil and asked if it would sell. I said i doubt it had anything more than a novelty value and if he did sell it at all, to make sure that anyone he sold it to understood its stats may shift on the first real use, if not it may still be later nerfed to uselessness in a patch, and may also not work correctly untill then either. He promised me he would say that to anyone he sold it too, or keep it himself for novelty value, so i wasnt too fussed.

Ya I know I created a kima looking creature that was lvl 1 was ticked about it and realesed it. Wish I would have sampled its DNA cause it had stunning strike on it. Only real thing I wish is we could have more pets in our data pad than just two for the non creature handlers. Actually be cool if we could make our own pets that had really no minimum lvl just the sample of the DNA with the right stats determined the lvl that way we could have lvl 10 rancors. Kinda stink but would rock. Love to see a lvl 10 rancor take on a storm trooper get whooped.
