That was some funny stuff from our friendly neighborhood coder/troller Reppu. Seriously though give people colors and they'll be happy for now until a later date. Black bots would be sweet. Don't get me wrong I'd rather them fix pvp since it's the most broken, unfortunately this game doesn't want more money? So till then black bots.
I think we are more likely to get pet customization due to the Lore slot being restricted to Praetorian pets and people not being happy about that. It makes sense that what works for Lore pet customization would work for pet customization.
I agree Pet AI fix over customization.
But if they came out and said look the AI is gonna take 12 months to fix , we can do customization in a week. I will wait 12 months and 1 week for pet AI fix.
Pet AI has been whack at least since I came back which is about 13 months.
Sadly all these new games coming out force them to put out new stuff. So old stuff gets kicked further back. They want to keep who they have and get new players in.
I heard pet AI will be fixed in COH 2.0 
wow customized henchmen would not be hard or "damage" the server,its just a matter of the devs gettin of their a$$ and doin it, i can go make 6 characters and the server will be absolutley fine
It depends on the degree of customization. If they just give us a few more basic costume themes, like maybe 5 choices per pet type, and maybe 2 color we get to choose, that's a small thing.
If they all had full costumes like their MM master has, that would be bigger, because the server has to hold a separate variable for each costume piece, and transfer that variable to each person who zones into the area. It doesn't seem like a lot, but servers work on the basis of doing the bare minimum of processes themselves, and offloading as much of the work as possible onto the client.
As for female pets, maybe they could restrict it so that female pets are only available if the MM's phenotype is set to female as well? Not as many issues with women dominating other women. Then your female MM doesn't look like she has a lot of boyfriends.
The whole female henchmen not being allowed due to them being perceived as slaves idea is idiotic. This is the 21st Century where women can chose any job they wish. The devs should come up with a few model types for each henchmen. For example, futuristic ninjas in male and female styles and a classic version for female ninjas could be two styles for ninjas. Steampunk, classic version, and a smoother and more futuristic version for robots. As long as complete customization is not possible and players are restricted to picking approved models (no scantily clad females or males), then there should be no problems. I have been stuck with the same ninjas for years and the grey genins have to go since they are too boring. Jounin can get an update to their style to look more futuristic IMO, but they are not as bad as genins as far as look goes. Not sure what to do with the Oni.
I have had a bunch of MMs... Male MMs with slave boy henchmen, Female MMs with slave boy henchmen. Hell I even had a lonely science geek girl MM with slave bot henchmen. It just comes down to RPing it... after all anything can be made sexual... thanks to Clinton, we all look at cigars a little differently. ;D
