    Since I'm requesting that the player have the choice on how summons are viewed on their screen (or viewed at all from other players), why should you be so negatively concerned at all with my post? If SE considers my request, you will have the option to maintain the summon's compact form.

    on the other hand, the egi in the summoner quests are "free", you've literally just used the primal's aether to call "an egi", you're likely limiting the egi's power when you summon it yourself to make it easier to control (eg, a candle is much easier to control than, say, a bonfire, and easier to snuff out if it gets out of control). it's not played up as much as the warlock pets in WoW (mainly since the lock pets have personalities, eg. imps are there because you have a contract, voidwalkers are there because you force them to be, felguards despise you for daring to summon them and only do what you say because you can kick their ass at any time), but egi do have SOME free will, they only do what you say because you beat them in combat and proved that if they rebel you'll just kill them. imagine if a summoner lost control of the quest titan-egi midway through a HM-Titan fight, there'd be landslides and razed earth everywhere... oh right EX-Titan :P

    before you bring up tristan, remember that he has been a summoner much longer than you have been, and that he was making deals with the ascians for more power, and he was able to just consume belias-egi, so he was likely able to release an egi's full power whenever he wanted (that said, I'd love that ability to merge with your egi and get an additional ability at the cost of your pet)

    it's possible that at some point down the line, maybe when the level cap is raised, we'll get a summoner quest where we prove that we're strong enough to command the full power of an egi, and then we'll get the larger summons
