It could be cosmetic, but BST would still be able to tame creatures within dungeons, which could create exploitation. If they are not able to tame creatures, in dungeons, what is the point of making it a group job? The gist of BST is taming.

They could make BST use jugs only, but that is basically a SMN reskin. I feel, making BST a group job takes a round table of brainstorming. They could shift that focus on other jobs & content. Why create a SMN reskin when they could simply put that effort into SMN?

It is like the Houdini story. The great escape artist who couldn't open an unlocked door. The answer is right in front of us, imo. BST as a group job is making it more complicated than it should be for a team that can't seem to get pet jobs right to begin with.

XI BST started out as a solo job, and it was successful (Devs alluded to it was being an intended solo job)

Shifted to groups & failed miserably.

The definition of insanity.......
