Plain disrespectful the dev hate and tinfoil hat conspiracies here. Take a step back folks

An Honest: we know it's not classic butt my pally couldn't go up to PoSky in 2010 because a mage got his and or hers spot because people are toxic poopoopeelords so it's staying nerfed. Also someone probably soloed king Tranix or something with a mage which was probably doable in classic so we only want enchanters doing that. Hopefully this helps more.

Would go a long way to ending this thread and clearing the air. I am not upset. Just advocating for honor, integrity, and honesty and transparency. It's OK to literally be salty about mages and for the sake of the community and toxicity to nerf pet chains. It's even better to be forthright about it. Even tho tis'aint, classic.

Caveat: it's a nerf the original eq devs *would* have made if the server stayed in velious two decades.

People acting like they know true intentions around here. Dev a project for 15 years on a buggy emu to walk a mile in their shoes.

Dude your making a dumb assumption.

I'm not calling you dumb. Just your assumption.

People assume because there's zero communication and zero transparency, so people will continue to do so until that changes.

Rygar, you're all about evidence, right? Well, there's a wealth of evidence that Nilbog favors/disfavors certain classes with the classic fixes he does/doesn't make.

Now, does that prove that (say) Nilbog <3's Enchanters and hates Mages? No, it absolutely doesn't! The seeming disparity could absolutely be explained by something else reasonable, like that some bugs are harder to fix than others.

But (as Croco noted) in the absence of any communication whatsoever from the dev team, literally all we have to go by is evidence. If Nilbog gave a flying Dutchman what any of us thought, he could dispell any false impressions with a single post ...

... but he doesn't, and so I'm convinced he simply doesn't care what we think. So, again, that just leaves us with the evidence we can see.

This seems like a lack of understanding of game mechanics? Pet's transferring hate generated to owners is a significant drawback for magicians and charming classes (i.e enchanters, bards, druids, and necros to a much lesser extent). Gutting this mechanic would remove the need (or drastically lower in the context of other hate generated) to successfully memory blur NPCs on re-charms for enchanters.

Trolling bug reports? This post is about mages and pet summoning. Maybe keep the staff bashing and complaining to the wiki in your sig?

This was already addressed and clarified by loramin three posts later.

This^

Keep the "enchanters here ain't classic" stuff to the 147 threads about the subject, none of which have any evidence mind you.

Yeah, It would nice to see one of the Devs say something in this thread. Even a, "No we're not going to fix this," would be better than nothing. However, I could understand why they haven't. It's kind of a major issue that require a lot of work to fix. There's something like 4000 threads to look through and only 2 dudes in their spare time to work on it. It's understandable that they haven't gotten around to this one yet.
