As for Odin and Alexander, there's some kind of story behind keeping them out... end of the world... something or another. Stop caring about that months they were released. It's a pipe dream to want them as regular summons though.
-To me that excuse is something like what they did with Bahamut, the truth is the lore can always be added on, and I see much potential for these two as regular avatars why should we at high levels be receiving more cute avatars like Caitsith instead of something bad@ss like Odin and Alexander heck or even bahamut.

If you removed the perp, half of the point to the trails stalves would be negated.
-Of course if you remove perp the bonus would be replaced with something new.

Summary of idea: Make SMN less expensive for the worst geared SMN and more expensive for the best geared SMN.
I like it.
-not really, with the best geared SMN they would have gear that improves MP, refresh etc.

"Summoner is the only pet job that has such a bad hindrance to deal with, and that is Perpetuation cost." Overload and Burden are as bad if not a worse hinderance than perp cost, which is really very trivial. Summoner's real problem is blood pact timers.
-But unlike Puppetmasters if the puppet is overloaded they still stay in the field and provide assistance, and Puppetmaster can melee. While Summoner is solely supported by there avatars.

I still think it is a shame that SMN is the only job you have to gear to avoid penalties. I don't wear perpetuation gear to be better, I do it to not be worse than all other jobs.
-100% agree, other jobs can equip other type of gear and they are fine, but if we decide to equip MP gear then our perp cost will hinder us.

While it's pretty easy to negate, I'd have to agree that it's necessary. It has the greatest effect in the lowest levels, where pets are very powerful relative to other jobs. If perpetuation cost didn't exist, they'd probably have weakened the avatars in some way more than they already are.
-Compared to a melee at low levels they are useless, only thing good about them is there bloodpacts and we pay MP for those. I think its wrong for a job that can't do anything for themselves and beg there pets to do there bidding can't have strong pets.
