Again, wasn't a matter of NOT wanting the pet, just knew the chances were too slim to really expect anything to come of it. No one is going to be disappointed if they got one; if that's all they wanted, it near guaranteed disappointment.
Well honestly it wouldn't have taken much to make the whole thing worthwhile. One epic asset would have put me over halfway there. Sides, the companion WAS a possibility whether I expected it or not. Just didn't set myself up to be disappointment...at least from lack of companion.
Because I decided to assume the last round was a fluke, and gave them another chance. In the long run, it's a win for me; I keep my money. Sad though since I do rather enjoy some parts of the game, but not sure how they plan to have repeat customers like this.
