In a recent Yoshi-P interview he mentioned that pets will be like in FFXI, where you just tame it and use it, period.

I think this is a bad idea, even more considering that other mmos have long expanded on that system and have done it way better. Plz let the pets level up with your character, let them learn abilities and have ways to change/increase their stats or cross learn abilities from other pets etc..

It would be sad that they are just plain weapons where you cannot customize them at all. It will end up with one pet being the prime choice of all beastmasters and they will all use the same. Let us have diversity, choice and customization.

We can't simply go with a system that is inferior to the competition. We should be ahead of the curve and inovate on said systems!
