Just because somthing is "rare" or "hard to get" or cost X amount is not balance. All it does is limit the amount people who have the at issue system to ruin other peoples game. This type of balancing just prevent people from quiting if they arent experience gamebreaking systems like a wb. But the game breaking system still exist. Need real balance.
Smaller scale PvP is skill based. Pets are not. Pets namely WB destroy these fun small fights. WBs and other OP pest if not removed from the game need to be pointless in small scale.
Its less of a issue for not ruining the game for people in large scale combat so thats were these OP pets should be focused.
