Adding fuel to the fire, Summoner's future

Yes, this is true. But I don't jump from MMO to MMO to MMO like some people do, so the pool I have to draw from is limited. There are no "action-rpg" style MMO's that I've played in recent memory that have a pet class other than that one. You yourself have even stated that you know of no MMO's that offer that type of pet gameplay, so it just goes to show that MMOs with capable pet classes (action-rpg style anyway) are far and few between.

Yes they are far and few between because the balance issues that comes with pet classes are glaringly obvious. While I agree with you that certain QoL of life changes could be made to pet in this game, hoping for a rework of the entire pet system for a few people that don't even seem to know what they want in the first place nor can grasp that each Final Fantasy have their different take on what a Summoner can do.

Since plenty of people like the job as is, Square Enix would have to take a huge risk by changing something that actually works right now for what's nothing more than limited gains.

I agree with you completely. Just to be clear though, I didn't come in here advocating sweeping changes to rework Summoner, nor have I in the previous thread. The poster I quoted asked a question, and I was simply attempting to offer an answer. And though I did offer an answer, as I said in the previous thread, a pet class of that type would never, ever, be implemented in this game.

I know you're intention were particularly good. My answer was just in the context of the post to which you quoted.
