Rancors can't be made less than level 35, even if a durni could sneeze and take it out. I think the Gurreck is still level 10 though.

my biggest concern is that we don't have a way to make money other than running missions. we used to be able to sell pets or get money for training. the other problem i have with be pets is not their uberness, but the fact that they can use HUGE, cool-looking skins like the rancor. a nonCH shouldn't have a rancor...maybe they nerfed the lvl 1 rancor...i'm not sure. and gurrecks are sweet looking... but everyone has a lvl10 be gurreck.
i'm not really demanding that CH be fixed.. just pointing out that maybe i'd enjoy something else more now that CH has changed so much.
~~~~~all that said, when i look at my old screen shots... i still get excited about the pics of me taming my rares. the hunt is still what makes CH appealing to me~~~~~

There are still ome bugged lvl 1(0) BE rancors out there...recently, someone traded one to me to train for him...I thought...o-kay...
After training (and noticing that the rancor was bugged - I did tell him and he KNEW it wa bugged), when he wanted it back...it wouldn't trade.
Kept saying either he had TOO many pets, or he couldn't tame it. The person as a NON-CH.
Suffice it to say, I put that bugged pet to rest...he no longer exists.

I am not a CH but I got a hunch that you guys will get some love in the combat revamp.
Why do I think that?
Well, Players today as the game is now is much more effective in combat than any pet can be, and I think the revamp will mostly target players. (Making the overall power lvl lower)
So my hunch is that the love you guys are getting is that pets will be pretty untouched, and since players will be "weaker", your pets can compete with them much better in both PvE and PvP.
On a side note, I think I have some CH genes in me. My alt is a BE and I just cant get rid of my very first pet I created.
(a lvl 4 kaduu with 120 HAM named Spitty). I lost some buisness deals thanks to this even since my pad was full, but I still refuse to put him to sleep.

Gregg,
You really don't listen do you?
I came to SWG because it was star wars. I found CH in June last year. I mastered it by August. I love my pets. I can't imagine myself playing the game without having them around. Can you read that! Did I say I wanted to quit?
NO, DID I SAY I HATE CH? NO!
What I did was make an objective observation. 1) Revamp of combat will be pre-empted by JTL, which, if it runs true to SOE course, will be literally filled with bugs. This will put combat revamp off into the far distant future.
2) I observed that doing mission after mission was boring. Rinse and repeat is not my idea of fun. I mean really how many hundreds of Rancors do you want to kill?
3) I observed that the supposed role of CH, combat support, has been taken away from me. Why? Because a) TKM's and fencers are better tanks b) they tend not to run all over the frigging planet, like my pets do.
4) I said, any normal company tries to correct it's mistakes before pressing on with something new. Not so SOE. It just continues to add one mistake on top of another. Which means one more bug upon another bug upon another bug. And that is a fact Jack.
Now did I say I was quitting? NO some small minded easily entertained donkey says, "well geez if you don't like it Quit" You are a moron. It's kinda like saying "if you don't like my country leave". How about hmmm this isn't working to well, lets put some things to the test, hmmm critisize (it don't work) hmmm let's fix it.
That Gregg is what this dev team doesn't do. It doesn't fix squat. And that is another fact jack.
Oh and by the way, I won't threaten to quit, I will just leave. That should make you happy shouldn't it, cause you really can't read and understand at the same time can you.
You know what they say, "Don't assume anything because that just makes an ass between u and me" You assume I want to quit, you don't have that right. tootle loo

This is all true and all sad.
Most of us here all want the same thing, to be a MCH and to have the Bugs fixed in a game we pay to play, before they add more and more bugged content. I like the game. I love MCH. I do not have a problem with waiting till the combat re-balance, if it ever happens, for us to be put back into the game. All I am asking for my monthly FEE is fix the bugs that have been in MCH for the last year. I have been a MCH from August till now with a week or so off to do holos, and even through the so called, great Nerf of December, they never addressed the bugs in MCH, WHY?
I would have much rather of waited 3 month to get a mount and had them fix the autostore, pathing or pets that run away when they are attacked.

You have alot of good points, but your missing a very valid one. your pets are weak, pathetic chunks of meat waiting for me to kill them.
I enjoyed CH before the big nerf. after it I couldn't sustain it without going higher (no skillpoints), so I was forced to kill my pet leviasquall (I loved that thing). Regardless, I'm taking it back up, my main concern is PVP. Pets don't have to be uber... just viable in pvp.
go find a master swordsman, no master swordsman/tka/rifle, just a master swordsman, or a TKA, or a rifleman, or any other master combat profession.
duel him, send a pet after him, the pet is going DOWN, send another, then another, then another.....
I guarantee you that all your pets will be wasted within 3-4 hits at MAX. do you really think that is fair/viable?
CH pets shouldn't be able to destory whole groups of players, but they should at least stand a fighting chance.

Really nice objective observation here indeed...
"Fifth can you please send me the drugs you are all on so I can enjoy the gameFifth can you please send me the drugs you are all on so I can enjoy the game"
I agree with Grawarr here, CH isn't the worst profession around and I still think that simply having the chance to have your pets by your side not only when fighting (which even though they aren't that good, a pet is still better than nothing at all. Even if the pet runs, chances are it'll attract at least one enemy to him so even that helps you) but also simply when you are walking around.
Did I mention that pets really are chicks magnet? 
Bottom line is people that really like CH will keep it simply because they enjoy it. People that quit CH is because they liked CH for the wrong reasons in the first place.

I love this profession. Which is the reason I am still in an upraor about our mediocrasy. How long has it been since we were gimped? I can't even remember anymore. Our little bit of good things we were supposed to get with our profession killing nerf still don't work, and are NEVER mentioned. We have no place and are not defined, and there is nothing on the horizon to fix any of it. It's really pathetic. Despite the tons and tons of feedback we have given, things have still gone nowhere. What's sad it, that I am not surprised. I expect it from these developers...

Gregg,
It was a BAD day yesterday, so I apologize for atagonizing this post.
But it is true we are gimped. When asked straight out, when will we be fixed, we get the politically correct answer, which is we don't know. When asked, when is combat revamp, we get the same answer, we don't know. When asked when will you fix the bugs, we don't get an answer.
When asked to submit our top bugs, we do, nothing changes. When asked anything they don't listen.
Remember mounts. We had mounts for one whole week before they brought the vehicles. You could hear the collective swoosh as mounts were flushed down the toilets.
Then the Devs say, why don't you sell mounts. Well there are two reasons, 1) Any mount worth having that we can tame, is too high for non ch's. and 2) When on Dathomir or other gnarly planets, why ride a mount and get attacked when i can hop on my trusty speeder and zip through all those nasty rancors. End of mounts. End of money for them. BE's can make them but duh who wants to ride a slow old mount with a speeder sitting there.
Now if they made it so both you and your mount could fight, we might have something, while riding i mean. If i could do a special or two off my mount while he fought that would be great. And if he decides to kite across the country, guess what, I ain't losing that thing cause baby I am on it's back.
But sadly, this too will be non existent in game. So I am trying to be objective, a lot of the fun has left the CH profession because we were nerfed, we hang on because we love the profession not SWG and certainly not Jedi's.
