Don't like getting PK'd but even more dislike seeing your pets killed? Then stop recalling out on me and leaving your pets behind! It's my standard A* policy to kill pets of tamers that are left alone in the dark dungeons or vast overland. You either a) gate them out, b) die and i'll do my best to keep 'em alive or c) kill me. Macha (in game name) i am mainly talking about you, but there are countless others that leave their pets alone.
Macha is a old school player and he does a great job for the shard social healthiness! He helped me a lot and i think have another new players that could say that too.. And he never hunt in large groups like another tammers. Is your option kill his pets... but this makes you feel better? Don't spent your regs with rage! Save them for your great resist events... that's definitely make difference on this server!
When I missed a jump in Super Mario World, I would 100% sacrifice Yoshi to save my own ass. I can always get another Yoshi!!
How is it a money sink? People aren't hunting with unbonded pets and will just res them later and re-train. That being said, killing pets doesnt particularly bother me 1 way or the other. If I ditched my pets escaping a PK in a dungeon I would expect them to die 1 way or another anyway.
If it is a bonded pet you have to spend money on regs to train resist. If it is a non bonded pet you may want to purchase more dragons on the forums.
