Truthfully hossp the whole rare thing should be dismantled and evrything given the same rate of spawn.

This isn't a trophy that is earned imo its pure luck lol not to mention the fact its even in this game to keep you playing for months and months untill you get something you have wanted.

Its no better than the grind in my eyes, just another way to entice people to pay for another month and in the end they get something they cant use because it plain bites lol. or they cant risk the vitality loss.

Its no different from the painting i got on lifeday,

Sorry if anyone feels I'm insulting to the rare hunters and collectors but its how I feel. There is very little reward for such extreme odds in finding anything rare.

Other than the chance to post here and get congrats for a few days.

I would rather see all tamables brought to a reasonable fair chance of spawnage and drop this facade of wow I earned this I'm so special lol. meanwhile soe laughs at the ch and say

"look at this idiot paying us to keep him jumping through hoops. Hope he looks for a f-graul next I will be able to afford my new car at the rate these guys are going"

i have to diagree..are you suprised?..lol..i for one would not have enjoyed playing this game if i didn't have the "rares" to collect..i do not see it as a trick to get me to keep playing..why do you keep playing? is whatever reason you do a "trick" to keep you ponying up the 15 bucks? we all play for our own reasons and to call someone an idiot for playing for thier reasons is wrong..most of us don't collect rares for the admiration of others, we just do it because we enjoy it, i also like to collect rare loot, i suppose that is dumb too...but when it comes right down to it putting as much time as we do, for whatever reasonsinto this game is nothing to be proud of..lol

i think soe would laugh harder at you if everthing was equal.., the exceptionl gun, the mando armor, the bull rancorn nothing required any effort and we palyed anyhow..what fun that would be....

oh and if it isn't earned and is just luck, why do people hunt for extended periods for these..aren't they "earning" them by putting in the time?

The thing is, though, there's a large group of people who feel this is worthwhile and enjoyable, just as there are people who feel it's worthwhile and enjoyable to grind XP or farm NPCs for loot. Different strokes for different folks. There's no reason to give everything the same rate of spawn. All that would do is destroy this playstyle for the rare hunting folks, while giving a handful of (in most cases) average pets to everyone else. Would anyone care about the GPS at all if it wasn't rare?

If you don't enjoy rare hunting, you're not being forced to do it. No one is required to tame bull rancors or great plains stalkers to succeed in this profession. Plenty of much easier tames to be had, like regular rancors or greater sludge panthers. Or you can even go to your local BE's vendor and buy an offthe shelfpet with no work required.

Personally I'd like to see the "rare" babies made rare not because their spawn rate is so low but because actually surviving combat with their fully grown counterparts is tough and then taming the baby without being killed is difficult.

I would love to have to get together a group of about 5 elite combat masteries including myself to be able to stand a fair chance of taming a baby on the adventure planets. I would need the help killing off the adults and then in surviving if the baby turns on me. Would be much more satisfying to tame a difficult creature then imo.

Obviously the rarity in spawns would have to vary to some extent but generally I would prefer the "rare" babies to be rare because it is difficult to tame one you have found, not because it's difficult to find one to tame.

I agree and yet disagree with Jo Jo. While I don't think there is anything wrong with having rare pets I think it is totally pointless to have ONLY rares in the top of the list. once you hit CL45 the days of saying "now I can tame these" is over. It becomes "now if I can ever (bleep)ing find one of these"

Actually I think after i post this comment I might start a new thread for ch'swho dont know about this yet.......

Currently you can team up with your local BE and go to the spider clan cave and help them get DNA samples from the Spider queen. The pets that are made with this DNA are incredible!!!!

I had my friend Rah'bert make me a dalirake using the stuff ( I picked that skin causebugtypes skinsare pretty fast and small enough not to get in the way, and typically pretty loyal and i think there cool)

Anyways the thing is better then anything else I have or have ever used rare tamed or otherwise

Better then: mereks death head, freinzed grual, wild dune board, matruguie screecher, rancor,thune grassland, Bio level 70 kimo, bio woolamanders 3 (I have three woolies levels 27,32,10 with a combind ham of about: 31000 they are bioed to work as a team but strong enough to stand alone)

(what I mean by better then is: who stands up better in a fight and can kill quickest and last longest and needs me to heal it less)

For genral use the queen spider dna pets are awsome, so dont knock the BE
