The issue was on naming a rare pet. My feeling is that most collectors like to keep the '(baby)' in the title.

But to me, renaming a rare islike winning the gold medal ...then painting it bronze just because you like that color better. For myself, if i'm able to get 2...then i'll rename one of em. I waited before i got my second screecher before i renamed the first i got.


Yeah all CH's want one, I dont believe it has anything to do with jelousy.It's a preference...some like to keep the original title..some dont. Would i have tried to buy it if it had the '(baby)'name?...probably...butI do want the chance to go out and tame my own (even if my head implodes in the process). I went crazy for about 2 months before i finally got my widow baby, and just like my screecher, i'll wait fora second one before i give it a name. And I'll probably go just as nuts going after that great plains stalker.


As i said...this is just my opinion. To each, their own....






To me that's just silly, I'd be more likely to make fun of the guy with a "Bull Rancor (baby)". Why go to all that trouble and then not name it?




I agree that everyone that whoever tames the baby can do whatever they want to the name.


For me, apparently you missed the point I was trying to make withthe "gold medal" comparison. But that is MY own choice and preference.


Iwas not trying to make fun of the guy. I was justtrying to point out that if the "baby" was un-named, he might have got 10x what he got for it.

Not only were they jealous. They were complete jerks. As for earning thier respect... I would go out of my way to not earn THEIR respect. I mean the only respect that matters is from those that you respect.


I think naming pets is way cooler than not. I prefer a sort of roleplay immersive game. I don't get that with pets that have no name or player with the name "SxyBabe" and "EatMy Shorts". Just makes for a less enjoyable game experience.


Name your pets, but please refrain from names like the above. =)

No, I got your point, but I still think it's silly that anyone would pay more for a Bull Rancor (baby) than they would for Bob the Bull Rancor.
