Thread: just a thought
Hmmm... this is actually an interesting idea! Creating a choice for the players: either a relatively higher base-level pet with few-to-no special abilities, or a relatively-low-base-level pet with several special abilities that boost it's overall level... Hmmmmmmmm.....

I would be happy to see them add a CL system for pets based on a combination of the pet's CL and any added abilities. It would let us provide other players with pets, but we would have to tame, level and train them with their abilities. It would create a new market that would let CHs become pet developers if they chose and not just merely another combat class with strange weapons. I don't see it as being all that much different than being able to use a CL30 Combat Droid, or a CL54 Rifle. I don't think we should be able to hand out Rancors mind you, but a range of pets higher than CL10 might be well received and practical. Giving non-CH the ability to control 1 pet up to CL30 (with no abilities) or say CL20 with 2 abilities (at 5 CL each or some similiar system) might create a new and useful market that would be enjoyable to see come into being.

dude i want to know why the hell you thought my reply was rude? i said nothing bad against the man. he was the one cutting everyone else down. i respect that he wants it to be lvl 15 but i gave my opinion on the matter and i get cut down for it when he specifically asked for others opinions.
and Archiie i have given you what i think would be fair options for a lvl 15 ina previous post so plz do not say i havent given any suggestions. if they make non ch have lvl 15 again then they would have to raise the novice ch to 17 at least. and if they do that then masters should be able to control lvl 75s. non chs cant expect to gain part of a profession without the people who actually spend the points getting something for the loss. i maybe able to use a gun but i cant use any special abilities and im basically gimped by using it. a pet only adds good things to the person who uses it. there is no penelty for using a pet by a person who has no ch skill points.
and ive been a CH since the begining of this game and have helped anyone who needs help understanding ch or pets. my previous sentence was not meant for me but there are some CHs in this forum that do have more knowlege then others. i dont assume to know everything because thats impossible but that doesnt mean i havent had plenty experience to give my opinion.

My bad, I guess I misread the message, and took it the wrong way, ya know that writing things down doesn't neccesarily give the meaning without the voice inflection. 
But yeah a good turn around for the CH would be to give us an advantage to up the level of creatures that we can control, I know I was miffed when my CL 75 Malcock was out of my reach to use, and with some of the old BE pets respec-ing to CL 71-73, is just another nail in the coffin of good CH's everywhere.
Tip to BH/CH see if you can find a Pre-CU low level pet 22-31 with high Health 10k and up and you'll see what i mean, I would love to find me 3 pre-CU pets with Health of approx 8k and damage range in the high 300's as the damage differential is low 430-440 damage (Jedi Killers) unfortuenaly haven't been able to use one yet, as the jedi jumped planet before I was able to use him 
Extreme damage output, High Health, and respec level was 129 after storing.
the way you guys can do this is by setting up a player bounty system that works like this
Bounties would be made by other players that would make a contract stating the marks name and how much money you would get from captureing/killing him.
A list of all Bounty Hunters/Jedi/Other Professions could be made on your server forums where people would like to take part in this could sign up and have bounties placed on them.
all players that sign up to be the hunters or the hunted would be able to be removed from the list at anytime they wished (ie taking a break vactions etc)
just a rough idea but this would still be a way for you guys to hunt not only npc marks but players that sign up for it
but its just a thought
