Do you have ANY idea how this is going to affect siege PVP with the already current overpowered tamer bonding issue.

Actually, some of us already have an idea, and I would assume the devs did too since they went live on test officially.
When they were released accitently a little while back, a number of us did testing.
When we tested, the -biggest- danger was not the dragon, but peoples lack of knowledge of them. I watched about 6-8 people try to go after the one LadyNico so kindly trained and gave me, and they were prompty eaten, obviously not expecting the beefier response.
In usage, they are effective, but due to there only being -1- pet, and no mount (this is be a ninja pet in PVP, which needs to be corrected, ninja form should count towards control slots). Since there's only 1 pet, there's only a predictable melee hit, and spells from -1- critter instead of 2.
So far the biggest effect they seem to have, is that it's probably far easier to kill most tamer instead of the dragon.
They do good damage, but I'd rather see one uber dragon headed my way than a beetle/mare, or even normal dragon/mare.
