my problem with pets is not that it is wow'esk my problem is this game already has problems rendering the characters already and to add additional items to render if everyone has a pet would be double the stuff it is forced to render now and twice the load times in certain areas. the load times of some mobs in an area has already cause my untimely demise by going into an area and next thing i know 5 basilisks load in right where i am and boom dead. if ya don't believe me go to footfalls and search the rooms around there. there is one room that has prolly 23-30 basilisk/drakes in one room. they still one shot r50's and load in horribly slow.
