For starters thank you Camate for getting this looked at. However I don't believe raising the costs of pet jugs in exchange for zoning pets is reasonable nor makes sense. We aren't asking for our pets damage to be boosted were asking for our pets to zone with us so we can save some gil. As it is now having a pet zone is not the only factor as to how long a pet stays active as we have a timer on how long our pet can stay out. I understand all the other pet jobs have different requirements on their pets but will allowing jug pets the ability to zone with us really unbalance that much to have to raise the price of pet jugs?

Addressing Dynamis confrontations is a good start to this, however if even after reanalyzing whatever logic is being used here and the dev teams solution is unchanged I'd vote for no change at all... Mainly in fear of how much the pet jugs are changed in price and how they would change recipes in order to implement the change... >,>

No we aren't reacting as though beast jugs are the only thing that do damage at all. In this thread we are asking for pets to zone with us to save us a little bit of cash. Beastmaster is a pet related job and to not use jugs would beat the purpose of being a Beastmaster. Yes we know that when we use a jug we lose the jug but do we have to lose the called pet when we zone in order to "balance" the job out? As for charming pets this would be lovely if we could charm in new content but that isn't an option for us. Either way we aren't asking for charmed pets to zone either just the ones were spending our gil to use. Even if we crafted our jugs we are still spending gil and/or our time to farm the ingredients (looking at you dragon meat).

This would be a lovely comment if Beastmaster was asking for something game changing... zoning pets is not game changing it is making our lives easier. In addition Beastmaster isn't the only job soloing what we need and zoning pets isn't going to unbalance anything as far as I'm aware of.
