Default lynx vs tiger

I really wonder... who would and why would anyone even consider keeping the lynx when the tiger was made so much better?

I can't even tell what that lynx is when I first saw it. Although I am quite surprised that there isn't a jaguar or leoperd in the jungle.

Anyone actually like the lynx? I still can't find any reason to like them.

Well, the whole point of more pets is that you get the choice. I guess some people prefere the Lynx over the Tiger or whatever. Personally, I'd choose the wolf any day. Luckily, all pets have the same run speed, attack speed and damage if raised the same way.

The only difference in pets is that they may deal different damage slashing, piercing...etc. but raise them the same way and the only real difference is the skin. Like the Tiger, get the tiger. Like the Lynx, get the Lynx.

People with one pet don't get an advantage over people with other pets.

Well the point is, and the thing I really want to ask is...

"Would anyone actually keep their lynx over the tiger?"

Personally, I believe the lynx will fall into extinction.

I compare lynx and tiger, because both are from the cat family. While I am still very disappointed at how bad the lynx look.

My point is that, yes, some will keep the Lynx instead of getting a Tiger because they think it looks better. I don't see many now with a Lynx, but I don't think it'll get extinct. How many do you see with a Moa bird, by the way?

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that no one else can possibly like it. We're talking about a gaming community of 1 million players and I don't think everyone shares your opinion on what pet looks best, Tiger or Lynx. That's up to the player.

How many people do you think will have Tigers in factions ? Loads. There are people who will go and capture a Lynx just to be different, which is one of the reasons why my Ranger has a Warthog - because not many do. That and they're the best of course.

You do know that lynx does in fact look nothing like a lynx right?

While the tiger really do look like tiger.

If you yourself won't get lynx, why bother defending them?
=============

Personally, even if I want to be uniqe, I wouldn't get the lynx. (I have a warthog, while I do in fact find the warthog cute and good looking, a mini-tank)

I would like to see someone giving me a good reason why they like it, especially in terms of the look.

I am trying to learn to aprreciate the lynx here.
===========
Edit: Now that remind me of the wolf... that wolf look nothing like the real wolf either (more like a mix breed of a camel and a wolf). If by any chance, Anet offer a more realistic looking wolf, think the ch1 wolf going to get replace? (talking about majority here)

Well, if you don't like it, you don't like it.

I don't like any of the cats in this game so I won't get any of them. End of story.

By the way, did you know that Meteor Shower does, in fact, look nothing like a Meteor Shower.

It's a game, how important is it?

Right, and if they bring out a meteor shower that look like a real meteor shower, then I will be using the later. This apply very well to the tiger/lynx conversation.

Why is it that every post of yours, you have to make it sound like a flame?

I agree with the OP - when I first saw the Lynx, I realized it was just a variant of the Melandru's Stalker. (another one you don't see often).

I don't like the Wolf either, b/c it's all you see in PvP.

I'd rather have a Moa Bird, Warthog or Lizard myself.

Of course, now with Tigers, Crabs and Cranes to choose from...

Question: which do people like more, White Tiger or regular one?

I liked the regular color... well, just because it is more orange

I think the number of people that like white or regular tiger is quite divided thou.

Looking at my posts, I see why I sound hostile. I apologize.

Now, white or orange tiger... I don't know, but I suspect the white version will be pretty darn popular. I know I'd choose it if they didn't have wolves.

I have a Dire Lynx and I'll probably be keeping it. I personally like it better than the other monsters because of it's fur color. The Stalker color doesn't really appeal to me. The only reason I would get rid of the Lynx is if I saw a really cool new monster in factions, but then I would have another character get the lynx anyway. The tiger is just too orange for me, but the white tiger seems alright.

Maybe if they looked more boar-like rather than being household pigs.

I'm ditching my Stalker for a Crane. Although a level 20 stalker actually looks a lot cooler than a lynx...

Household pigs? They're _warthogs_, that's what they look like:

Think people who would want a tiger would go after the white tiger,I might get one if I go with a ranger secondary. The cranes and crabs are cool I really liked the Black Moa, but till I see what rare pets they have I am sticking with my spider.
