I was actually gonna buy this but get this just 2 or 3 days ago I got another paragon reward token for it took the little drone pet that buffs res/dmg and what do you know the stupid thing died before I even realized it. If this pet dies just as easily as you guys say the vet buff pets do no way am I buying it now.
I think this marks the first time someone could actually say 'slap in the face' and not have everyone roll their eyes at them. Go wild, folks.
If It Can Die, I Won't Buy!!

I'll leave it to you to Madlib the [HAMBURGER].
$10 for a pet that is about as useful as a brick to the head because it will die in the first few seconds of its life? No [HAMBURGER] Thanks!!

Which makes him about as useful as the vet pets: Completely worthless. Honestly, I wish they'd just strip the buff effect off those and make them invulnerable vanity pets.

800 points...oh my gawd.
I hope this isn't going to be the set price of buff pets.
Passing.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Yeah, AND as of last time I check on Beta, he's pretty good at tanking. You know. Until he dies.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

114. Ahrouns do not appreciate my particular brand of humour, so I should stop bleaching bulls-eyes in their fur.
I will be saving points this week. It really looks like with x2 xp this weekend they would have given us something actually cool, like a new power set.

Thanks but not for me

Leprechaun? Because it's St Patricks Day?
As an Irish man I find that sort of sterotyping very insulting. I'm so outraged that I'm leaving my pint of black here in the snug, putting on my cloth cap, grabbing my shillelagh and storming on out of here.
Honestly they need to put the prices on beta and just give us an unlimited amount of points for testing purposes. That way they can gauge how much people are willing to pay before anything hits live. As it is, I won't be paying the equivalent cost of a new powerset for a vanity pet that gives a small buff and dies so easily.
No CONSUMER RAGE here though, just stating facts. I'll just be saving my points this week, like others have said. There's still plenty of i22 content to sift through.
So:
Costs £6.80 (Same as a power set, costume slot and numerous other more useful things)
Can be defeated easily
Gives a pittance of an Inf Boost
Yeah, so not getting it. Paragon Studios, I am Disappoint :|
Hey, Leprechauns aren't supposed to cost a pot of gold!
I'm not getting it either....and I buy everything, including the dance emote booster when it came out.
Too Pancaking expensive for a critter that moves slow, dies easily, and gives only a ten percent buff on influence...hmm...if it was invulnerable I might have bought it at that price just to support the game.
To my way of seeing things, unless you are an Irish Roleplayer, buying this is akin to throwing away points.
I sadly pass on this.

I'm starting to wonder if the concept of impulse buying isn't being considered at all...
These types of things just scream 'Impulse buy' yet they are pricing them like they are
'serious decisions' buys

Agree. There are lots of things on the store like that. For instance, I look at IO sets and all I can think of is 'For the price I could get a new costume set that all my characters can use!' Extra storage is even higher above that, and the vanity pets are just too much buck for too little bang.

So instead of Staff Melee, they release this piece of rubbish.

Though I still bough it because I wanna support the game. I have loads of points saved so I can get the weeklies but this pricing is silly.

So, uh, Beast Mastery and Staff Fighting need more tweaks? Or something?

I used to do that. Even before Freedom, I paid my subscription even when I didn't have a working computer for 6 months. Just to support the game I love.|

When Freedom came out, I bought every little thing I could. To support the game I love.
At this point though, I have to question if my freely giving them money, in support of the game, even when I dissapprove of the product offered. Is actually a paradox.
That in reality, by 'supporting' these poor marketing choices, you only delay the inevitable price drop. That delay could end up hurting Paragon Studio's in the long term. If players start leaving in droves due to the over-pricing/ out of whack pricing.
I'm all for supporting this game and it's Dev's.
I just want to be certain that support isn't going to be detrimental in the longterm.

I have nothing new to add that most everyone hasn't already said but I want to make sure my "youcannotbeseriousthereisNOwayIambuyingTHATatTHAT price" vote isn't lost.
If they wanted 800pp from me this week they might have put Staff Fighting, Beast Mastery or even Enhancement Converters up for me to buy.
walks away muttering about crazy people being in charge of the Paragon Market and stuffing a leprechaun into the gas tank of his car
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Yeah... no thank you... 400 Points would've been better.

I'm actually kind of shocked at how easy it's been to save points. I fully expected to be coughing up cash every month for stuff when Freedom was announced.
Of course, this could just be cause I/We spent like crazy right outta the gate and now only have new releases to look forward to. It also could be because I've passed on nearly every vanity item to come out this year, due to being overpriced for the value.
*Shrugs*
Just means I won't have to purchase any points when Staff comes out!
