I just reread the whole thread...I fail to see where even the vitrolic Pluto said to nerf anything but the BE non-CH pets that the devs have already admitted were broken...he's being very nice here, and I'm proud of him.../wookieehug @ Pluto! And how would any of the suggestions make anyone who's even a dabbler UBER? Every combat class EXCEPT CHhas armor piercing available. So that's not it. Medium armor - well, players don't get medium armor I don't believe, but light armor with 80% resists might as well be medium armor. Better damage - nobody, not even the CH haters, think pets do too much damage now. More pet storage? This would uber us how? I'm confused...
My statment was in reference to Vert's post, sorry to confuse you.

Rancors have an immensely powerful plated Body, Brackerset have huge plates of natural armor... basically... any non-humanoid has natural armor

Yeah except that it doesn't seem to matter in the game that much becuase light armor is the thoughest they have. And I was thinking more for Dewbacks Tortons, and other creatures. Actually I made some detailed points in Plutos Armor post.

Yeah. LOL. It was before things went crazy. There is also my hunting invite on Valcyn. But apparently as rumors suggest all the Devs are in JTL forums. Today I would change my vote to Tivo being unbanned.

1) More storage!
2) Let the BE's "enhance" our wild pets....to somewhere in between a wild and Test tube critter
3) Ranches /zoo/ Corral most have extra build slots, we can't be merchants after spending THIS many points.., let us use the empty slots....nothing fancy....a fenced in lot...i'm good with that..an aquarium in the house..the animals can be little minitures inside if u wish!
4) take away the pet damage reduction in PvP, for the ones who wish to use it...
5) all 100 lvl pets be tamable by a MCH with double the needed XP....only for someone LONG in the profession...
6) Keep rares...rare...they are hard to get...i like that...sorry guys...i don't get on as much as most of you..i shouldn't HAVE some of the pets you have as easily...
7) Specials while mounted......
8) 4 Pets out at master at our MAX level....ok u can reduce this to 3 i guess...but don't push it...
9) Help us stop losing our most VETERAN freinds and PAYING customers!!!!!! we need less changes to actually make us happy than most other proffesions...not asking for the world! just a decent pile of dirt!...
10) in the long run....CH mission quest...or here is the kicker that would set EVERYONE on fire....let an Image Designer be able to CHANGE the colors (a striped rancor anyone?) of our pets....!!!!! now there is a BONE for you 
LOL....
LOL....

ok, for the PvP thing I would have to agree with what I read in another post...if you are nothing but CH then you shouldn't even want to get near PvP action. As for the quests that would be AWESOME! Have so that maybe your quest is to go find a certain animal in a remote location tame and bring it back fully trained to a certain NPC or something like that. And I think that if it moves and breathes it should have babies even if it is just a .0000005% chance to spawn they should still have babies. I would personally love to have more pet storage. The other day i was taming everything i found for XP and i was disappointed because I had to keep deciding which pet to keep and which one to destroy. and that's all I have to say about that.......for now

Excellent list, Vert. I would be satisfied with CH - and keep my account after seeing what the revamp holds - if the requests on that list were dealt with.

Mad,
I am not sure how to respond to your first statement. If by "if you are nothing but CH then you shouldn't even want to get near PvP action" you mean that "CH is so reduced that it is ridiculous to entertain the thought of PvP as CH alone" I would agree.
On the other hand, if you mean CH is and has never been a combat class you are wrong. CH was a combat class and too many of us still is. It is the current Devs that are not willing to provide us a niche or new class description that keeps the hangers-on in limbo.
We answered TH's "Know your role" post months ago. We are still waiting for a final definition of what CH is in the Devs eyes. One could infer by the silence that we are nothing more than people who tame pets. I am not certain this is entirely correct. It is hard to know what the Dev vision is for CH when they are silent.
This is not a RANT. It is the entire truth. We do not know what vision the Devs have for CH. We will be told this sooner or later (note: wait until the revamp). As a combat CH, I wait as patiently as I can. Times are hard and frustrations leak through. Yet I wait.
The quickest way to kill the CH profession is to remove it from combat status. Likely it is also the one way to get rid of the frustrated CH. Simply be honest and say CH will just be a pet collector. The irony is SOE desired to keep away from the Pokemon image yet for CH there is nothing left except to "catch them all".
We need the combat revamp.

Lots of good stuff in here. There's still one thing you all keep neglecting to mention. Our pets inability to wield lightsabers. Why shouldn't the pets that stand on two feet be able to wield a lightsaber? There's no reason at all. I'm fed up of logging on and not seeing my cupa cutting rills in half with it's double sided purple lightsaber. If that can be taken care of before the other problems that would be great. That will fall under pve and pvp I think.

Famba Mounts! I am sorry, I tried very hard to not post it, but in the end just couldn't stop myself.
What about this.... Instead of a control device or whip chair...lol nice one P9M. What if pet commands were able to be attached to hand signals which cannot be used if a weapon is equipped? That would make it extremly complicated to control pets and use a combat prof. in PVP, pve no big deal, but in PVP you and your pets would probably die.
Just a thought.
Tamers/Rp
More Decent Tamables is a definate
PVE
What if could have 2 more specials at MCH so pets could have 4 specials instead of 2.
or Different DMG types
And a pet owner whithout the skill cannot use anything beyond their abilities (non-ch Attack & Follow Store has to be done with d-pad or radial)
PVP
Take away damdge reduction
