Me and my group killed two baby bulls in one hunt before I reached master and learned they were rare.

It's a fact: No creature has any value whatsoever, as they hold no purpose or use except for show. For a long time, I've been hoping you would help change that.

It's past due to increase the spawn rate on our rares. That or make them considerably better than other tameables. There has to be an up side to go with the immense down side. Currently there isn't one.

I don't want to tame rares as a status symbol, or for a wow affect it may have on anyone else, I want them because I want them. This issue needs to be resolved.

Vert. The level of rarity compared to other professions best weapons, or should I say "red dragons" is disproportional to the level of rarity of our best weapons.

There is no balance and no semblance of risk vs. reward. It needs to be fixed...

How do you know I would care a lot less? I don't think so. NO ONE should have to put forth that much effort and time to obtain anything. It's not fair to those who have put the time and effort forward. It's not like we are able to go AFK, loop a macro and have our character look while we sleep. We have to be extremely active for hours and hours on end to have the slightest chance of finding one.


It's crap...






I truly think this is how hard the game was supposed to be. Remember when they said it would take months ot master a profession (pre-Beta)? This is how "out-of-control" the game has become.



If you can't do it in 5 hours the game sucks and someone starts screaming.


The more rarer the better I say

9 months for one thing isn't rare enough? Jedi aren't even that damn rare. There's no logic there...

Yeah i agree, if they're that rare make them considerably better, they are technically a high quality weapon, or maybe even the exceptional/legendary weapon version of CH.


Yet, BE petsFTW!

He's doing the best he can. It's obvious that the devs don't see anything wrong with us that the mythical combat rebalance won't fix. I'm just glad he hasn't given up, I would have long ago, I have this "thing" about being completely ignored...


So...Thank You Vert for sticking with this profession through thin and thin. I just hope the joys of being a CH continue to outweigh the frustrations of having everyeffortfall on deaf ears.

Yeah, it's not Verts fault that the devs don't listen to us, or any other profession besides Jedi. CH is in a rutt and rares just make things worse along with everything else. It's going to be a long time before things change I predict.

Vert. Could you atleast mention to the devs that there are those of us that have spent many many months and have come up empty handed.


That we have spent this much time in game for one reward and have recieved nothing in return for our efforts? And that rares are too insanely rare, considering their stats...

I'm asking if it would be possible to get an update on baby spawning.

Yeah, that would be good too. But there are several of us that are displeased with the current state of rare tameables. Such as there is no reason for these creatures to pretty much be the rarest thing in the game and that many of us are tired of putting in months of our time and coming up empty handed. That needs to be mentioned also.


We may not agree on this rare issue, but because we don't agree doesn't mean that you shouldn't mention that many of us are frustrated and displeased with the current "drop" rate...
