We''ll have to agree to disagree. I played EQ for a number of years and have no memory of Verant lying. I'm sure they made mistakes but when it comes to evidence developer posts are pretty much at the top of the list for reliability.

I'm late to the party, but I distinctly recall Absor assuring magicians posting on the forums that their Elemental pets could accept traded weapons and would both hold and use them, just like Necromancer pets and Enchanter animations. This was back when weapon delay was still important to pets, and necros tore up the world using skellys armed with FS daggers.
Magicians submitted screenshots of the trades always failing, elementals would NOT hold or use weapons, and Absor earned the nickname "A BS'er" over the incident. Mage pets were hotfixed to hold and use weapons at the same moment pet attack speed was normalized regardless of weapon held. I dearly wish I could dig up his original quote but this was within the first 5 weeks of the game being live. Oldschool players will recall what I'm talking about if they were a pet user, I'm certain.
