    I mean.... aren’t there a ton of housing rocks already in the game, right?

    You can just drag one to a desk and save the crowns, right?

    Unless, of course, it does something special.
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    It really depends a lot on what it does and how it performs. Maybe you summon it and it just sits there while you walk away. Maybe it drags itself on the ground. Maybe it hops along merrily. Maybe it grows legs and walks.

    I'm not buying anything until I see what it actually does.

    Being a "box of rocks" because I get zoned out sometimes and/or miss the context of jokes/comments is a joke between my friends and I. I actually made a meme guild "Lassi's Rock Collection" based on the joke. One of my friends actually mailed me a pet rock irl xD I wouldn't be surprised if someone gifts me the pet tbh but one way or another I'm getting it.

    Agreed. But I'd certainly buy a lava lamp and some black light posters for my mansion!

    I think it's a funny idea but there are other things I'd rather have from this month's showcase. So it depends on the price and how many crowns I have left.

    Of course I'm getting him. (Please stop calling him "it", he has feelings you know!)

    I will also be getting the glorious stick horse.

    I suspect Pebble Pal will not appear at all when you are moving.

    Instead, after a few a few moments of standing still, he just appears... Ominously.

    I have two pet rocks in my other MMO (and only partially because I collect pets in that game) and I might get the one in ESO as well, but it depends on what it does and how much it costs.

    If it's literally just a rock and doesn't even move along behind you then I won't bother, if it moves (and especially if it's being somehow sneaky about it) I'll probably get it.

    It really depends on how amusing it is. I'm kind of tempted to make a specific, ridiculous character for it and the stick horse. I'll be needing that pot and that incredibly silly walk to go along with it, though XD
