1.The Dislike of Pet Aesthetics
I actually would like the Egis to look more like the original primals, even if they are in a smaller form. I don't mind the looks, but was hoping they would be more in line with the awesome primal looks.

2: The belief that the class is too DoT based and not pet based enough.
This I agree with. The class plays like a WoW warlock. WoW warlock was great, but I expected all of the 'spells' summoners get to be based on their pets. IE, fire moves used by ifrit or earth moves by titan that I controlled as a summoner. Think ffxi summoners for a list of obvious choices. Sure, you can't give summoner but like 5-6 spells to match the other jobs. I get that. So, keeping it in line with arcanist has to be done in a certain way. However, I didn't expect a dot based WoW warlock class when I leveled up for summoner. Having said that, I am still main job Summoner right now. I don't expect this to change.

3. Boring to play.
I don't think it's boring.
