I get that it sucks to have something you liked removed but all I ever seen from taming was walking billboards. they are going to have to plow a ton of hours in to building a descent and working systems that somehow fits the feel of the game. I can think of others things that are more important to me. sad with what happened I know a few people who really enjoyed the system as limited as it was.
That's all you ever saw because MA never came good with Stage 2 of taming which is why people were skilling up for it, the point is they bullshitted people promising stage 2 and grander things, then when cryengine2 update came along it said all the features were coming back and gave a timeline which was in the months not years, that time line has been changed over and over and over to the point where we last got told some time in 2012 which to be honest i think is just another fob off.
Perhaps if you were actaully skilled in taming you would have a differing opinion, it's like me saying "all i ever see of mellee is a few people swinging a sword i dont mind if it gets taken away for years" but i would never say that as i feel if someone has an interest and has skilled up in that area they deserve to actually have that area or atleast be compensated for the 54 fucking levels of the profession they have.
Pets have had a slot on the auction since i started playing 5 years ago, that alone leads you to beleive you can or will be able to sell your pets, still you can loot sweetstuff and fruit, why even bother other than to perpetuate the bullshit and keep people thinking its coming.
I'm not talking about lvl 2 tamers here im talking about people who had aimed to get right into taming once stage 2 arrived and were skilling to be ready, they paid thousands of dollars in skilling with no chance of global or hof and very little chance of income so they were doing it on good faith and not out of greed but for the enjoyment of the game then they get hit with this crap.. 1000 days.
It's how the player is treated and the principle of what has been done to them not about "oh they were only walking billboards anyway"
To be honest im getting sick of other players saying crap like that, to me melee is medieval robin hood shit but i dont feel the need to bag melee cause i dont skill it or participate in it as i think the more areas the more choice for players and new players the better.
They (MA) dont even offer any kind of update on progress they keep saying imaginary dates and that's not great PR to just ignore people when they ask quite simple questions i guess it's easier to lie and then ignore.
Anyway ive rambled on enough consider this a long drawn out boring bump
and i ask other tamers to bump and keep this shit in front of there bloody eyes.
