It would be interesting if over time your pets grew in strength. Or if you could take them bashing with you, to hunt other npcs to raise their levels.


Or if your pets could battle other pets in the arena (Lusternimon?)

People would just spend hour upon hour making their pets like an honours mob

Whats wrong with that?

Plenty is wrong with it. In Achaea, some people would do quests to acquire mobs that were extremely powerful. When it came down to fighting the person with the mob, the mob was more of a threat than the person himself.

I always find it amusing that if you look at a pet, it will have a a really elaborate description (someone has a dragon that is a good example. Might be Geb actually), about how impressive and supercool the pet looks, and then it says '(pets name) is a humble looking creature'

Maybe if those pets could be incredible strong, but became scared of other people so everytime they are punched they ran away.

Pheil, Gorgon Sumpreme is here
She is loyal to Desdemona.

Kick Pheil.

Pheil has been abused of and runs away roaring hysterically.

Or... not.
