Too bad they don't seem to want customizable pets ..
Would make sense if you could choose between having both pets male or female. Wonder if that would be possible?

It's certainly not that they don't want to do it. Customizing callable NPCs is another one of those major hurdles with how the game has been coded.|

It is likely possible, but how much work and whether they'll ever deem it feasible... I honestly don't know.
I do know that, while I've always wanted for some customization with pets (even just multiple choices for us to pick from... which is still a large coding task), I've never wanted it more than I have since Beast Mastery was introduced.
I think this set just really makes the desire much more apparent, as so many people seem to have different (and strong) opinions about what should be available for animal henchmen.
I really hope that they can do this and get it going sometime somewhat soonish... But, I really have no idea if they will at all.

Or do they pretty much sit at home, defend the pride's kids, and eat a lot of food? Go watch the Lion episode of the Kratt Brothers' "Be the Creature" series, where the lionesses take down a frikkin' elephant, then try to be serious about them being "pussycats."

Current primary characters, all on Guardian:

Pretty much this. The males sit around all day, females do the hunting. So yea, makes sense that the non-combat pet is the male, and the one that bites off faces is female.

You two Wild Kingdom nerds realize we are talking about a Beast Mastery SUPER POWER in a fantasy game about caped crusaders, right?
Screw Marlin Perkins and realism, I want MALE lions to do my bidding. Either that or female thugs for equality since they now gave us female lions.
Male lions can be pussies too.

Looking at the quality of the lions as a vanity pet, I have to say im happy to have the lionesses. The Companion lion pets are badly made, look like they have two rolls of fat either side of their head, their manes look like stuck on bits of cardboard and their tails just dont look right. They also have no tounges and their paws look deformed.

On topic, I can understand your frustration, but as you see weeks from the release of BM why they did not use male lions. They are obviously trying really hard to maximize the profits for their four legged rig, to the point of obsessive love as the panther is coming soon™ as well.
I still would not rule out pet customization. The way I see it, the more pets they put out, the more choices for pet customization there could be and therefore makes it more attractive as an add on feature down the road. I could be totally wrong about this as well.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

And like people have been saying- it makes sense. The female should be the hunter, the male should be the companion pet. If the male lion was in the BM set, it would just lounge around and growl at you till you brought it food.

Actually, there are in fact several posts that do violate the rules,which has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with their position about lions that is silly. That is neither here nor there at this point as I am sure those things will work themselves out organically so to speak.|

ON Topic-I don't think the OP's point had a lot to do with the real life roles as much as it has to do with pet customization. I can see how people could have missed that point being overly anxious to find that picture to mock the OP.

I think I rather missed his point with all the caps and ?!?!?!
They violate the rules by your standard of the rules, which appears to be a different standard than everyone else's.

Yep, that is very very clear at this point.

By that I mean he was non-constructively ranting about something he didn't like, which as you've said many times is against the rules.

In fairness that first post could be viewed from that perspective, that is not how I viewed it, but your last statement made it clear there is some wiggle room. |

Viewing his second post it becomes crystal clear that it really is about customization and OP is too angry to properly articulate his position.

This is paragon defence force at work again. Obviously when people think about lions, they think about males, with manes. The only reason we didn't get it is because it was a quick reskin to put it out of the door instead of an actual remodel.
I swear being paragon must feel like being bioware, put out a inferior product(and BM IS inferior) and let your people defend you, saves on PR costs.

This is just hilarious. By this logic the females should have overthrown Scar in the Lion King, because it's more "realistic". Of course it didn't happen because like I said, in popular media people associate lions with manes as the strong ones. By similar logic, you should replace the wolves in BM with large dogs, because dogs are more vicious.

Well no, his second post is also non-constructively ranting about something he didn't like, but with some player insulting added in for flavor.
Quote:
Within that rant which is one of the posts that violates the rules, it does become clear to me that he is upset about the issue from a customization perspective, YMMV.

I am seeing PLENTY of four legged rig vanity pet on the market defense posts. Is that what you meant?

Not to mention the various "I prefer the BM lions because it's less worse than the pet lions." ....So.... why don't you ask the company to make them so they're both good quality, instead of just taking it up the butt?
