I love being a CH. My only real complaint with the profession is the current issue of pets pushing stuff halfway across the planet. I'm still new to the game, so all the prior nerfs already existed and I don't know what I'm missing, and I "grew up" with the bugs before this last patch so that's just "the way it is". This current problem is almost game breaking. Who am I kidding, it is game breaking. I'm finding other things to do, but... Jabba themepark, done... Emperor's retreat, done... Tears of Alderaan 3, done... that's only since the last patch. I'd eventually have done all of those anyway, but I'd prefer to do them when I got bored of hunting, not because I got frustrated at how badly messed up my hunting experiences had become.

I love CH. I really love stumbling around lost in the wilderness, finding babies, and taming them. I really love hunting with my pets. But two persistent bugs really bother me.

1) Tellpet does not work for me. I use full word commands, the same word that always works in spatial almost never works with /tellpet.

2) Autostore, which seems to happen more often in combat than not.

I know that they have a lot of code to manage, and they have a difficult job to do, but you would think that they could eventually track down and eradicate these two.

I wanted to be a CH from the day I read the information about SWG in beta. now that I'm a Master I find several things that irk me about the profession.

1) people that are not familiar with the profession constantly complaining, like we are still pre 5X nurff

2) the fact that pet's STILL hang up on server boundries

3) people who ask for exploits about the profession despite the advice of masters to go legit.

4) people with the "uber" BE pets that haven't been tamed yet that complain when you refuse to tame them or get totaly beligerant.

5) the unprofessional manner of the upper SOE team in some of their comments about CH

For me it was never about the toughest pet that could kick anyone's butt, it was the thrill of the hunt having to run halfway across the planet to find a baby, there should still be several planets that have banned vehicles so that they feall like undeveloped planets.
