A couple free pets for Rangers/Casters/etc. down the line?

[TekkenDevil]

It's really annoying to have characters with summon monster or nature's ally spells who can't use them in public.
Once the expansion pack is released, could we have a couple free companions for these classes?

Now, in a perfect world, it would be the best thing ever since super sliced bread to have every single Summon Monster/NA creature available, but for moneymaking purposes I know that's way too much to ask.

But how about having 1 granted companion for each class? A lion or wolf cub for Rangers, a Spider for Wizards, etc.?
Simple, not very bold stuff.

What purpose would one have to summon a pet in a public area?

No thanks. If everyone had one they wouldn't be special any more.

i say wizard pale master summons need to be improved or taken away completely, and as for the familiars (yes thats what a wizard/sorc would get) please but if not give them to rangers they need a decent improvement and that is a very big part of rangers in traditional dnd pnp

So rangers and such shouldn't have a free pet because it would destroy people's bragging rights?
I can live with that, dunno about you.

Nobody should have a "free" pet - you either buy from ddo store, get it from the pre-purchase bundle, be an artificer (must be bought or unlocked)... you get the idea.

Pets in public areas are really a nuisance, causing nothing but LAG. Marketplace is already laggy as it is, if everyone has a pet the place will become worse.

Seriously pets are aberrations in DDO - this is D&D, not Pokemon.

so long as i can toggle /pets off and not see any of the pets im happy
start working on that

Druids, rangers, sorcs and wizzys are known to have familiars and pets. I agree that we should be able to have some that work similarilly to the ones the Artis have.

so true, wiz could really use a familiar for the same ol' reason that it gives some (not vital but significant buffs at some things) obviously it shouldn't be a combat pet.. right?

And rangers... hell they Need a pet, wolf, dire wolf, bear, don't forget about BOAR and such things... it's a classic on D&D
