Loyalty system and Wraith vanity pet, would you rather take a lore friendly cat or dog?

Wraith's, Scutler's and such, why? I for one want REAL pets like cat's and dog's, birds and rabbits maybe..

Anyway, would you like them to change that Wraith to Lore friendly Cat or Dog.

Sorry, not gonna add more options as those are most normal pets one can imagine of. Both should naturally be available from Vendors in Tamriel too in different colors and races but that is not the topic of today's poll.

    Basic pet types shouldn't be loyalty rewards, magical creatures that you don't generally think of as tamable should.

    I'd rather have something else besides a pet. I can say without a doubt and with all certainty that once my pet comes down the pipes....I'm deleting it. Just like I deleted the monkey we closed beta testers got.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    i prefer an actual "ashlander ancestor Wraith" red, blood red ancestor Wraith like the ones found in morrowind and the one that gets summoned from the morph on the fear trap in eso.
    that thing looks soo awesome in eso the wraith that comes out when the fear trap is set off. hes huge and red and awesome. now THAT would be perfect for us nightblades as a real helper pet in pvp.

    I won't even vote. You see, whatever pet they chose as a reward - there would always be someone who would prefer another one. Sure, I'd rather have a cat. Or a dog. Or a dragon. Maybe we'll get some of those later since they said they will expand this program.

    Just want to say, that I'm thankful for whatever they give us. It's not that they promised anything like that. It's a gift. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

    I cant understand why you want cats and dogs. You can have cat or dog in real life, but ESO is the world of magic (how ironic, lol). No, I'm OK with that, and if you want cat/dog - hope ZOS will add this pets in future.

    I like dogs , but if im getting a special reward i prefer weirder and more rare pets than your average house cat.

    And anyway , they will add dogs later on anyway , will just get that one.

    Come on ZoS, think of something cool and fun. Like random encounters with dogs in the wild that you can befriend, Or finding a stray cat.

    Quests and drops as status symbols to make you feel like you earned it. Also a "pet bag" would be nice.


    I get having pets as promotions and store items (i'm not too big to buy them myself) but there should be some fun vanity items that you earn in the actual game from doing... things in the game. This is just lazy. This game IS pay to play after all.

    I'd be happy with any and all of them. What I wanted the most was the pony guar, and now that I have that, anything else is just icing on the pet cake. Though I am looking forward to the brown wolfhound's eventual release, I'll also take anything else they want to give us in the meantime.

    I don't see vanity pets as part of the actual game, I see them as a silly goof so I don't mind if they aren't lore friendly.

    They are just a fun bonus :)

    The cat or dog vanity pet -may- come out in the later months, but only for those loyal to the game. Ice Wraiths are cool too.

    I'd rather they give us something actually worth using. The minipets in this game are nothing more than a nuisance. With their constant looping annoying sounds and blocking of NPCs and way shrines (which is a bug but not yet fixed...)
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    "lore friendly"? Are you trying to say that a wraith is breaking lore? Because its not. There were beast tamers in the Elder Scrolls universe? Go play Skyrim's DLC dawnguard, there is a beast tamer who made trolls domestic yes trolls, probably the most ferocious creature in Tamriel . Who are you to say we can't be beast tamers?

    This is the second time I've seen this lore breaking argument occur. I'm not sure I follow sorcs have storm atros and winged twilights how are ice wraiths breaking lore? I would argue a bad ass demigod saviour of the world type with a bunny would be worse.

    I didnt vote, since there wasnt an "other" option.

    I would rather have, like someone suggested in the official discussion thread, that they gave us a token of sorts, and then we could trade it in for a pet we would like.

    Personally I would really like the piggie from the con would fit into how I want to play my spineback.
    Those pets could be put into a store like that in some sort of way, and people could get what they really like/desire.

    I dont want to make Dog's or Cat's exclusive status rewards. All i want is that pets implemented in game are not some creatures that would never be pets in the first place.

    I mean taming a wraith? Thats just silly, they are creatures that are there to kill you. Same would go for many other possible pet types i can think of but sadly people want something #cool" and even more sad is that Devs give them these "cool" items that disregard lore and reason. Soon it will be like WOW with stupid mini dragons and hellhounds as pets.

    What next? Some stupid mount that never should have been a mount in the first place.. Or over large shoulders maybe, thats cool too right?
