For a common easy lvl 0 mob, the buffs were unbalanced, particularly if you compare it to others of that level. Proof of this was the vast numbers of resellers there taming 30+ of them to sell on. I guess there has to be a balance or PPs could all easily release things out with the norms that could cause chaos to the economy.
As for why wasn’t this stopped before release, both the Lara and Cara are bugged. Maybe it’s something as simple as Lara has caras buffs. There is also to Lara mission bugged, which seems they were originally an unrepeatable mission reward, which would have limited their numbers. However as this was bugged they made a quick fix.
I heard in rookie/NI chat, and now on here, the rumour that this is all Sophie/leprechaun/oratan owners fault for doing support cases , yet I haven’t heard of a single owner of these pets who has complained. I know it’s all very pitchforks at the moment but being mad at your fellow players for something they didn’t do is silly.
