Plus, when a person isn't walking around, the pets have a script that moves them around at timed intervals.

Once my pet and another guy's pet were on the same timed intervals, moving back and forth at the exact same time, it was just weird.

Now imagine that, on a much larger scale.

well what about the idea of customizing pets. i.e. armor and the ability to dye the armor and what not. still make it to where you can not bring them into town it would just make people want to show their pets off by grouping with real people instead of using henchies. which is what anet wants right??

Exactly.

And think of the lag this would create.

Unless you're having the pet carry around the stuff you buy in town, theres no point to having it there...just a lag machine.

Lag lag lag lag lag lag lag lagalogalin.
It would be pretty sweet to have pets in...anywhere but seriously if you put like 100 rangers +100pets in one area...you would move like 2 steps every 10 minutes it would be like time slowing down and only letting certain things move per minute...GENIOUS I SAY!!!!!

i also like the idea of toggling pets and weapons on and off in towns, but it would probubly get laggy

To those who argue lag: Only a fraction of folks in any given town have ranger subclass, and of those only some would have entered the district with their pet on skillbar. If it included an "I don't want to see pets" option for those afraid of lag it would be fine - I figure I sometimes want to find other pet rangers for a fun ranger run, this will help - people who arrive in town with a pet on skillbar are likely going to want to use one.

Could it lead to lag? Maybe, sometimes, but if you need to enter the district with Charm Animal on your skillbar it really isn't that common.
