Sorry, 800 pts is... beyond silly to me.

Faith and begorrah, he costs a pot-o-gold.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
If he still aggroes mobs he may be worth it. Herding leprechaun for the win!

Even after three or four green beers I wouldn't buy the littler feller at that price point. Besides the way he follows you is creepy but his death animation (dies easily) is obnoxious.
Not to be a troll but, is that it? No thanks.
possibly the reason it costs so much is because h adds 10% inf gain in aura similar to the other vet buff pets
I'm starting to think you guys don't really understand the idea behind "microtransactions".
Two words: Bling Gnome.
So they stack!? And max buff 255 in the area!?
And I assume also buff infamy, info?
If it werea a "sprite" like the Northern Lights or other options I might be game; as it stands..meh not sure

Question is, it is kill-able like other Pet that can buff? If it can be kill, then it just not worth it.

Is this it? No thanks. I'd rather not take part in the purchasing of an overused stereotype that some Irish people find offensive.
Also, it's a complete rip off.

I would have to agree yet again.
"Love" you guys/gals but...800 points for a vanity pet (granted it does give you 10% more inf. but...that isn't much at all).
Speaking of which, what about putting the extra enhancement storage slots on sale (by at least 50%) for both of them....

If he drank green beer and puked rainbows every time I got an extra drop... maybe.
But not the cost of a power set for a minor loot buff.

I could have sworn I read it was killable. Any who a 10% inf gain isn't worth the 800 points to me, not when BM and Staff are right around the corner.

EDIT: Maybe if he gave an IO drop at the end of every mish on top of not being targetable with a higher inf/exp/prestige increase, he then maybe worth the 800. Or instead of the IO it could be random pack roll like with the HORRIBLY expensive trollish super villains pack, trollin with hem dual insps on rolls...

I thought this sounded amusing and very mildly interesting. But now it also sounds painfully expensive. Considerations of opportunity cost say "nay" to this one.

One word: Sales. Where are they?
I am a minimalist determined to "survive" off of my VIP stipend, I tend not to buy something until I have a use for it. Unless there is a sale! Then skewed logic comes into play, and I buy something which I may have been on the fence about buying, because I might use it at some point and may as well get it while it is cheaper.
I like Street Justice, but I currently have no conceptual use for Street Justice. Regardless though, if you put that set up for sale at 600pp (like you did with Beam Rifle upon its release) I would buy it in a heartbeat! The same applies for:
-The CoT costume bundle
-The Steampunk costume bundle
-The Imperial Dynasty costume bundle
-Character Slots
-Inventory size increases
I am sure I missed some stuff, but that is just off the top of my head.
For anything that has been on the market for 3+ months, I have to guess that those that wanted it have purchased it. But "bubble buyers" like myself may not have taken the plunge yet. Why not lower the price at this point, just for a week, and get some extra money?
My two biggest "bubble" items are Street Justice and the CoT bundle. You put those at 25% off, and you'll have my points right quick.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Expensive, ugly, and mostly useless. No thank you.
