Concerning Rare Pets

I totally agree with this statement.
If the game developers want to stop people from killing rare pets, they will. Otherwise, they'll leave it the way it is.

END OF DICUSSION!

I am uncomfortable with your implication here, so I would like to pose an analogy to show you one of my problems:

"If the developers want to stop people from talking with each other, they will."

But this does not mean that you should harm people by talking with them. (And I am NOT suggesting that you have ever done anything like that.)

Edit: Or, you could substitute in other actions for "talking with each other" or "killing rare pets". My point was that the parts of the rules describing user conduct issues are general guidelines about not being offensive and do not go into detail about how you could be offensive.

Anyways, if you really wanted to end this discussion (and I kind of agree with you that this discussion should end), then I think you should have suggested that people take rules violation issues to PWI's ticketing system and that discussing them here will probably not do much of anything useful.

Edit: and, if someone seems to be doing something mean and unpleasant, you might try talking with them to find out if they are doing anything that maybe has some other explanation. Even if they are unhappy -- especially if they are unhappy -- maybe they just need some time to work through some issues that have been bothering them.

That'd give venos an even less chance to catch something then. When you consider that noobs don't know which pets are rare, the fact that a veno can't find one would make it more likely for a rare to get killed by a noob. And since chances are a veno won't be in the vicinity of a mob when it spawns, the people around there will probably just kill it for xp.

PS. No one seemed to pay attention when I said END OF DISCUSSION.

Well, to be honest, in over 20 years of MMOs, games that use random spawn areas for 'rares' like suggested, do tend to have less animosity amongst its players versus games doing the 'static' rare spawn area thing. Add to that, a tighter community of 'communication' and 'teamwork' tends to grow from it.

As far as price goes, as said before, it could be higher, but only if you choose to pay for it. Personally, I would never pay for a rare pet.
And given the odds of this certain scenario, as a wandering veno I would have better odds to gain a rare pet. In fact, everyone would have the same (better) odds at gaining one.

Currently, I own a cuddly pup, I enjoy having, because he happened to stroll by me one day as I was questing. It was a joy to be able to tame him because of this, a feeling attaining 'rare' pets should reward quite honestly.

First off, i don't recall english as a language posessing a single regulatory body, like french and spanish do, so what is your reference? Oxford's? Webster's? As a native romance speaker I

Wow, I know this is old, but found it by doing a Google search, so forgive me for bumping such an old thread. Reason I found it, my fiance, who is a venomancer, just had a rare spawn killed on her while attempting to tame it, purposely by another veno to keep her from getting it... so for the record, I wholeheartedly agree with the original post and would love to see some sort of "protection" type rules put in place for such griefing, as it's really unfair for those who genuinely just want it as a pet and not to sell (as she does).

As far as the many "nasty" and "immature" flaming posts... wow, sadly, even though I'm a bit new to Perfect World (even though I had played it a tiny bit in the past), I had truly hoped/felt this game might be a tad different than the many other MMOs out there full of trolls, haters, griefers, etc. Even though I knew any MMO would have to have such users, I'm kind of bothered to see so many all at once, being so heinous, hateful, and griefing over something that holds true reason for concern, and legitimate merit as far as concerns go. I'm truly hoping to have future experiences in Perfect World that may erase such observations from memory, as it unsettles me to think I'm actually playing in the same game as some of the many hateful users in this thread. I figure this will probably get flamed too, but I don't plan to really check this thread to find out, so have at I guess? I mean, just wow... all I can say is that thankfully there's so many awesome games coming out this year, that should the observations of such hateful, spiteful, and straight out flaming/obnoxious users get bad enough, there will at least be several places to land for refuge. :-/

On another note, perhaps the fact there is such blatant hating/trolling/griefing going on to the extent of just about driving users away, albeit either directly or second-hand, that may point out that PWI might be better interested in taking a firmer stance on such issues.
