Very poor planning and foresight by the Devs, who in all likelihood don't play the game, and "Drop things here and there and lets see what happens". No carefully planned and thought out ideas, and no clue about the potential consequences of such new items like the pet revamp, the fact that they need PS to upgrade, and the fact that most people had to go to RMT sites to get PS for their pets as soon as they came back to the game or very shortly thereafter. Also the word is "If you want PS and complain about the PS why don't you go get them from Fel spawns yourself". As if when you go to Fel spawns to ghet PS you surely will get all 120's of the ones you need. In reality, you need to quit your job, and try to get them with many hours of hard spawning and getting PKd, as the PS you get are mostly 105, and 110, some 115 and few 120. And all this just for your pets!! So just checked wrestling 120 PS in Atl UP again : 45-50 million per!
We also have developed a breed of PVP that wait hidden/stealthing in the shadows, till you have killed the spawn, and engaged with the champion, then they come and kill you towards the end and take your PS. What a lot of people do is kiss the Pkers in the B*t, so that they may do protecting etc..Sry did not mean to derail things.
Things should have been planned correctly, the pet advancements should NOT have been character white PS. Training and skilling pets is grind enough. This takes it to the Nth degree, where you need to develop a Sampire, or a Necro Mage, go and do spawns with these countless hours to get PS for none else than your pets.
This has been a SORE issue with a lot of tamers, and every time it is muted, and nothing is done, since every time the PKers come out of the woodwork, start crying and complaining. It sadly also is quite possible that at least some the same Pkers are at least partially linked to the RMT system that sells the PS, so there is profit to be made in real $ by terrorizing the spawns.
Pets should NOT have to use same white PS as we do for our characters. Poor, careless planning not thought out at all. I would like to see how they are going to fix this, now that the cat is out of the bag, and new players have an awful time to get PS.
