Annalise I saw and enjoyed both of your comments on this topic which lead me back to Camate's post to re-read what he said and how exactly he worded his statement.
This first part is fine and makes perfect sense to me. However... this next bit is funky.
Id love to be given more information on how this conclusion is reached, and perhaps Camate you can ask the dev team, how spending gil is not as large a penalty as a 20 minute recast time? In addition how is it even lesser of a penalty then the mp a summoner uses to call their pets? As Annalise said, summoners zone with their pets just fine with no penalty and we can't ignore that.
Yes Camate we do spend money on jugs to gain fighting power, where your wrong is jugs are not like ammunition where you shoot it for a ranged attack we use our jugs to gain fighting power for X ammount of time. You are right however that it is like consumables like some of my favorite Bison Steak because it is boosting me for a duration of time. With that said lets all imagine zoning and you lose your food effect... this is essentialy the same as a Beastmaster losing their pet.
I obviously still don't see the logic behind this Camate and everyone else reading this. If anyone can enlighten us all as to how raising the price of jugs in exchange for zoning pets makes any sense please do.
