Well, if 10 levels does indeed not make much of a difference as what a BE can do for a pet, I am indeed a little more at peace. I've put a lot of money, love, and care into my current army of cl 70s, and I'd hate to simply let them all go after serving so valiantly and repeat the whole damn process with a huge payment for cl 80 duplicates.
Now, if they can only change growth rate back to time-based and bring down the XP requirements for leveling, SOE will stop getting feed-back forms from me 
Until then.....I'll fight this! I'll 
"Wipe them out, all of them!"
"Wipe them out, all of them!"

P.S. - Thanks Ayami for the positive feed-back. I need all the reasons to stick out this rough time.

If cl 80 use is true i think with the update ALL currently owned ch pets should get an automatic +10 level boost so none of the pets become automatically useless ...So if a ch ownes a cl 70 pet it should be made cl 80 with update!!!!
A CL70 pet won't be "automatically useless". And what about the CH's who have CL70's but aren't getting the expansion? What will they have to say when their CL70 pet jumps to CL80 and they can't control them anymore?
I agree, or CHs that are screwed so they cant use lvl80 pets because they arent lvl80 because they mixed there proffession with soemthing that doesnt add CL

Do people really complain right now that the option to get a CL80 pet is being added?
I don't get it ... so you have a CL70 BE pet, all levelled up ... great, but just how is that pet devalued? It is still the exact same beast as it was before ToOW, not even the tiniest bit worse.
I just finished my BE CL70 Kimo, and I just adore him ... great in combat (fought against a 32k health CL82 BH Boss mark, didn't even have to heal once), and after this update, I can even call a CL10 together with him to add 4 combat states.
No regrinding needed, no buying of new pets needed, and I will still be better off than before.
Yes, I will buy a CL80 pet later on, maybe two, but so what? Two nights of hunting with my friends, or two hours of grouping to a CL1 friend, and they will also be finished.
There is no way I would agree to a +10 level boost to all CH pets, like 3XB asked for ... pretty stupid, really, would make my triplet of cats completely useless since they would have a level of 100 together.
Also, you don't automatically get the ability to call CL80, you have to find 5 items first, and so far noone knows how, but it will involve combat.
So what are you going to do, when all your previous CL70 pets are suddenly CL80 and uncallable, and you cannot gain the items needed to call CL80, because you don't have any pets you can call anymore.
Now, getting more datapad slots for pets, that would be something worth talking about, because then noone would have to delete the not-at-all-worthless older pets for new ones.

Sorry to sound whiny, the CH changes and items was just for all lvl80 CHs, not for the rest of us.
I am happy for the lvl80 CHs, but i feel as i got the short stick in this.

Its in the vote thingy on the first page of the forums, I guess they gave up on the 5 item deal and went for a single necklace strategy....

What will former master CHs (those with a CL less than 80) be called now? Certainly not a master of the CH profession as they are being gated by their combat level.

I am a BE/CH also, and I totally agree. In fact, I have used the "target creature dies from being Sampled" feature to kill creatures for Missions. I have never understood why a profession that is based on 2 other professions that give CL does not give CL as well... and BE goes so well with CH... I made many of my own pets.

Well if some one must be CL 80 and MCH then I believe they should make BE give CL. I am Master BE Master CH and am only level 57. I am a CH because I need the protection of my pets while I sample DNA from very agressive creatures.
I believe they need to rethink this.
ALOT.

I dont. you can sell pets in deed form. we dont. you can have a vendor we dont
Crafters give up CL. BEs are crafters.
I am very happy with this. change. I always thought the way to get CL 80 pets was to be CL80 your self. You can count me in as pre-order!!!
You don't know much about BEs if you think they can have a vendor. You need the Artisan Business line to even get ONE vender... BE requires Medic and Scout lines... not Artisan. Both Medic and Scout are COMBAT professions... so why is BE a NON-Combat profession?
BEs have to stand beside high CL mobs and Sample DNA. Artisan based crafters don't. Artisans can get ALL oftheir resources from other players... BEs MUST collect DNA themselves... and Mask Scent (which is virtually required in order to collect DNA from ANY agro mob) is practically worthless at the CL that BEs can achieve.
It's simple logic to give BEs CL.
