One reason why I don't want a wyvern for Dragoon.

Easier solution: Pet's don't take damage and can't die. Problem solved!
Did I mention that people think way too much along the lines of XI?

If you don't like wyvern as a visual element (I need to find a synonym for this...), I can understand that perfectly. But all those arguments based on damage and dying pets and whatnot don't make a whole lot of sense. As mentioned before, there I many ways of implementing them - It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
