Remove the need for pet food and mount food

It is my favorite mechanic in the game. If you remove it, I won't be able to go "om nom nom nom" when I feed my pets.

 

but what if I want to make my pet suffer with 30k of food like Lin ?

 

I'd agree this mechanic hasn't aged well, and is more annoying than entertaining.

Likewise, the ability for pets to stay out when you boot up the game would be so, so nice.

 

I propose we go the other way. Require feeding the pet every time it uses a potion for you.

 

i imagine it would be hard to convince staff to make this change due to nostalgia reasons?

 

Or...
Keep the hunger mechanic so that people can still level up their pets passively as they play
But remove the penalty of your pet "going away" when fullness reaches 0
The only downside to not feeding your pet would be having to look at your starving pet's sad face, and not increasing it's happiness

 

my 15 clients give you their thanks

 

The savings in pet food will be astronomical.

 

On the contrary, pets should experience hunger more quickly. This would introduce a somewhat soft cap...sorry I mean on skill-based gameplay for those who engage in multiclienting.

 

How will my event pets with no commands level up then

 

Better start farming the pet jqs

 

these pets carry you through thick and thin. Feed them :3

 

Make it so that pets beyond lvl 10 won't require feeding

 

I like having meso sinks. The suggestion for a command to automatically feed pets seems to deal with the tedium without compromising the meso sink.

 

It's an insignificant meso sink in the grand scheme of the economy, it gets lost in the noise

 

I remember similar (or same) request got rejected by reason : it potentially helps botters, very long years ago.
