originally before advanced pet system pets could be purchased at the bazaar all old players will remember this. I believe king isle should return pets to the players. I don't state that pets should have op given skills, but the people who collect pets should be able to simply trade pets without having to hatch in the pavilion. All players who deal with pets now that breeding pets is like pulling teeth.
If king isle does not choose this maybe the player could select which stat to transfer in a pet. Before I argued pet are not fair because people must work really hard for them, instead if pets are really easy to train it becomes a matter of a just farming for the wanted pet and choosing which skills to transfer.
We can pull magic out of thin air I think our wizards at strong enough in magic to control what pet skills they learn.
