I'm of the opinion that it does not make sense to the "fun" players should be having that the best pets a CH can have (outside of BE) are so rare that no one is willing to use them.


Frenzied Graul and Bull Rancors are not even spawning anymore as far as most of us can tell, and if they are spawning, it is so miniscule in number as to be the same as never spawning for practical purposes. By limiting the spawn on these creatures you have created an extreme supply deficit that has the pets selling for 5-10 million + credits. We know you don't like markets like that from your previous attempts to limit holocrons, so why let it exist with high level pets?


Please increase the spawn rate of these creatures so players can actually USE them, not just get them to begin with. They've become trophies as they are and not usable creatures.


As masters of our profession we should have the sameaccess to high quality "weapons" in a similar form to "loot drops" (e.g. "loot drops" are equivelent to "rare baby spawns") that other professions enjoy. Give us a break!

I totally agree with the extreme rarity problem of these pets.


As far as I can find out on my server (Starsider) no one has even seen babies from, much less tamed, Bull Rancors, Arachnae Widows, and Frenzied Grauls.


ANYTHING OTHER ITEM in this game, and I do mean ANY, is simple to get in comparison.

LOL i agree 100% and was about to not post, due to my as-of-lateincredibly apathetic feelings i have towards this game but, im bored and at work, so......mostly dont think posts like this are read by anyone who can change anything and i'm completely convinced that even if they did read this they dont give one flying F$#K. This rare pet thingis INCREDIBLY STUPID. Theoretically the idea has some merit, but the problem is with the horrendous spawn problems. You know the one im talking about, either the landscape is like the area around chernobyl or so manyred dotsu cant move wo getting agroed. Im beginning to think this problemwont be fixed either. It boggles my mind that I pay a monthly fee for this game and could fly around central correlia for 3 hours and see NOTHING. Furthermore, I would also state that a rare should not be non-existant for weeks on end. Thats not rare, thats giving me odds worse than a casino.Theres my 2 cents, but i see my opinion counting for nothing.


While im on a roll, does anyone think theres anything fundamentally wrong that tera kazi has one support line, can be mastered in days, and your actually pretty good at master level

while

creature handlers have 2 support lines, takes a long time to master, and then being useless when ya get to master.

I think the writing is on the wall.

I agree also,


after 780 lairs and almost a month of looking I still hadn't found a baby bull rancor, but I had maxed out exp in TK and CH.


it was getting boring so it was either drop CH or TK..... guess what I did....


Maybe someday when CH isn't the red headed stepchild of the game I'll come back.

I've given up on finding rare creatures. If I do tame one, I would not dare use them in combat--never in PVP and extremely selective in high-level PVE. Furthermore, most of these rare pets have stats that make you wonder why are they rare in the first place?


Crappy stats plus exteme rarity of these pets make searching andhunting for them an utter waste of time!

Been hunting for a Great Plains Stalker baby on Corellia for over a2 monthsnow and in that time have only found 8 spawns of the rare pet and no babies spawned out of any of them. My last spawn Ifound was 3days ago and I have went 2 weeksbetween that one and the one before it
