Guess its my turn to chime in here
Wow, first off, did not know Xane posted the conversation, or should I say some of it. He seems to have left some parts out. I guess the more important bits are there though. I have screen shots of the WHOLE conversation. They were for my protection if he tried to report me. So whatever.
This conversation was brought to my attention by a new friend, Hans Penguin. Gotta say, did not think this topic would catch fire like this, nice to see people care. Nice to see old friends and some of the new friends I have made since the rare pet VU speaking up. Since this was initially posted, Xane and us have mostly buried the hatchet. Still do not care for Micjack, dude is an ass. And Lethall the extortionist, would still 'race' her any time I saw her.
I thank you all for the support.
To clear a couple of the questions up, Akasha did strike her rare pet first, and was there for several minutes before Maya Lethall came in and just started whipping, then telling Akasha to just fap her and she would do the taming. So by finders keepers, it was Akashas pet. Though a deal was implied it was not specified, wish Akasha did not have to learn that lesson the hard way. I was off planet at the time and on my way back to Caly, but was still 10 minutes out. Once tamed, the deal turned into give me 700 ped or I am keeping it. After complaining to MA, Micjack came down from space, well you guys caught that part of the posted conversation. MA responded with the 'Race' thing to the Maya Lethall issue.
Important to note here, with competent skills and gear, the most the green spirit bar line marker can climb is half way up, and the best you can do is parallel the percentage drop in spirit with the percentage of damage you do to the mob. What does this mean? Basically this means, if 2 qualified avatars try to 'Race' to tame a mob, they are going to tie every single time. AKA, kill the mob.
I have been a tamer since pre-cry. I have to say, I am not overly impressed with the rare spawn thing. Definitely not what I waited almost 7 years for. It has been proving to bring out the worst out in people. Even myself. Up until this incident, I had only helped people with their taming experiences. Teaching them the basics, and charging only slightly more then decay on my whips to take over when they got in over their heads on a rare pet that they had found. Asking if they would like the help before hand of course. Never dreamed I would be enticed into a race...To the death. However, I felt this was a necessary message to restore decency and order to the taming field, as well as to defend my gfs honor.
I have personally had issues as well. Before this NVE issue, I spent over 60 hours trying to find my first Silver bunny, when I finally did, I was waiting for it to heal for a rarely required second taming attempt. Some guy came in, hopped off his hover vehicle, shot it with some sort of EWE judging by the sound of the gun, got back in his vehicle and drove off without saying a word. I almost threw up. And there have been many other grief instances brought about with this release. Way too many. With this issue and the more recent NVE issue, we now keep video recording software on our computers. So yay to that. Sad that it is the only way to grief relief... maybe.
If you go to the new pet area now, pretty much nobody is taming anything anymore. Most people are just standing around or driving the most fuel eco vehicles looking for rare spawns. Reason, the people running and driving around will find a rare spawn over someone who is taming normal mobs also 9 out of 10 times. This does not help anybody who has put a lot of time and effort into increasing their taming skills.
It does not inspire more people to take up taming. Basically this implementation has screwed everybody including MA, because people are spending next to nothing on taming in the new area anymore, and it has only been a few weeks since rare pets were released.
Rare pets, should have been and still should be a Rare LOOT on a Successful Taming, if they really wanted people to embrace taming long term. As a bi-product, this also would have prevented this situation and many other similar grief situations that have been happening.
Again, I thank you all for the support you have given me.
It would be nice if we could change the focus here to trying to convince MA to change the Rare pets from rare spawns to Rare Loots on Successful Tamings. This would help secure the long term health of the taming module and its accompanied economy, as well as greatly reduce the instances of people being griefed.
Thank you for your time

And you say you don't have a sense of humor. Oh man that was a good one. 
You poor replacement for the scent of a stale slug's slime trail.
