Are Summoners evil?

[RyuRoots]

I know it's just a bit of lore-based reasoning to excuse the fact that SE didn't want to give us more pets, but I still don't see how this actually makes any sense. What makes Ramuh, Leviathan and Shiva inherently more aether-intensive to summon? From what we've seen so far a primal's strength is dictated by the amount of aether they are summoned with and subsequently consume. If we have enough aether to summon Ifrit, Titan and Garuda then we have enough to summon ANY egi, it would just be equal in strength to the three we can already manage.

I got really annoyed by that troll quest for Ramuh-egi.

Because the effect is cumulative. The ability to summon any of those three egis at will means you have those aether reserves and signatures with you at all times. You can't multiply that by an indefinite amount. Thus, Dreadwyrm Trance.

As a sidenote, I find it THOROUGHLY predictable, but am still disappointed that so many people think SE was "trolling us" with the Ramuh-egi thing. It was an explanation to address something the community had made a point of. If you don't like it, that's all well and good but active maliciousness on the part of the devs is stretching quite a bit.
