ranger is an offensive profession

[bara yaoi.3824]

Why does ranger tame other animals and take them from their home in the grasslands and forcibly make them their pet??? Instead of domestiating animals and living alongside them they are taking them from CAPTIVITY and using them as puppets and meat shields to FIGHT for them.

 

this is a really bad message anet... why are you giving the player the option to do animal abuse??? animal abuse is not cute, please change this so rangers arent so mean to their pets !!!!!

This is only funny because of the irony inherent in the view point. I just hope that was intentional on the part of the OP..........

I agree. Pets shouldn't be slaves to combat. The message Arenanet gives to players and others in this game by allowing the ranger class to exist is absolutely terrible.

I agree 100%. That's why I just swallow my pets soul for a modest stat boost and a few extra skills. Can't abuse something if its inside you.

 

Remember kids, pet fighting is wrong m'kay. Swallowing your pets soul, however, is humane and just sound strategic sense. So keep that green mist swirling.

oof don't introduce this guy to Pokemon

[snarfrificus.4230]

wait if no pets, then humanoid slaves? Like sylvari ladies on collars or human slave girls? I mean it is the kind of world those things would happen. ROFL

[Bawi.9541]

I kinda like it like that. Now it's both offensive by combat design and from a moral point of view.

 

 

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hmmm, maybe you have not noticed, but animals living free and wild in Tyria have a lifestyle that consists of standing around in a horrendously overpopulated, predator-heavy ecosystem, desperately trying to eat every adventurer who wanders close enough, and usually getting themselves slaughtered a few hundred times a day.

 

My pets came with me voluntarily, they were not subdued, trapped or mistreated in any way. They fight with me of their own free will. And if they didn't like it, they outnumber me hugely, and could easily kill and devour me while I sleep. Or just run away. You might notice the Ranger's lack of whips, chains, leashes, harnesses or muzzles for their pets.

 

My pets like to fight, and they like to win, and with me on their side, they win a whole lot more fights than their wild cousins.

Nice one if it's irony of being captive either way xD

 

Yeah we never think about what a "pet class" really means haha

 

We do take them out of the Tyrian ecosystem and maybe they live more comfortably. But now we are morally questionable for enslaving or taking advantage of possibly sapient creatures.

 

Although we can also assume they came with us willingly as partners. Perhaps Rangers with their Nature Magic make it less of a relationship that we IRL have with our pets, and more like true friends and companions (though the AI leaves something to be desired).

 

I don't like them too much, but maybe we can use Drizzt and Guenhwyvar as example.
