    Can we please not make suggestions for animal abuse?

    Also no thanks to "realism" where we are bitten for petting an animal.

    sorry you took it that way but if something is going to attack me i dont see it as abuse to attack back , but we all have our own view points , ill try if ever next time to make it clear for defending against attack , as i would never want to see an animal abused

    So if you are bit by a cat you would kick it?

    Anyway, I think the idea to have domestic pets attack people trying to pet them would be a terrible idea.

    you can pin point one animal out of all them if youd like , id like to know why you must try to pin me out to look like a bad person ?

    You are the one who wrote “kick the cat” and I am responding because I am repulsed. How a request for something wholesome went in this direction is beyond me,

    We'll pass this request along. Many of us would also like to pet that dog.

    As long as you make it realistic.... occasionally, animals don't want to be pet. Maybe let them snap or bite on ocassion too! :#

    can the player get the choice to pet or kick the cat/dog/animal then too

    I don’t want to kick dogs or any other potentially pettable animals discussed in this thread either. I fail to see how adding more animals to kick is helping here.

    An M rating doesn’t excuse poor taste. I think creating systems where a pet may not want to be petted, snips at you, and then you kick it is in very poor taste.

    I don’t find a supposed self defense argument as an excuse to kick dogs and cats compelling either and I would find that disturbing.

    We will not find common ground here so let’s let the thread hopefully return to happier directions.

    I've always wanted to walk up and pet Z'maja😇 A non combat Sea Sload doesn't fit the lore either. Certainly it would be interesting if we could interact with tame animals in the game, mounts and other people's non combat pets. A lot of people seem to like the idea and im glad they're considering it

    To be fair EP has an absolute ton of pets that you can interact with. You can often find them running around towers for no discernable reason.

    So far, the only animals I was able to pet are part of a little achievement on High Isle iirc. We truly need more pettable animals!

    In one of the Summerset dungeons you can pet some baby gryphons. :)
