my only issue with the lions is that they should be bigger. In all the footage ive seen im sure that they are larger than wolves.

No reaping the rewards of the pride. No easy life. You could actually say they worked their way to the top and earned the "easy" life.
Thank you, Smeg!
I've been trying to explain this to people who've made these kinds of claims as well. I don't think I've gotten a single reply about it. People just keep on keeping on about how "females do the hunting and males don't do anything!! It makes sense!!"... which is just silly.
Anyway, nice to see some others out there replying reasonably to the madness!

They aren't all that lazy, they most figth everytime another lion try to steal his prides. MOst of then die trying to proctect or defeats another male. Isn't such a luxury live, at least female always can stay in the same pride they where born.
Should have make then bigger, I saw then in the zoo and they are way bigger.
I want /Fire stalker. Because nothing says stealth like dumping a can of gasoline on yourself and lighting a match. -Morac

Anyway, continue with your own little debate. I'm still SO MAD about this.
And wait.....panthers? SERIOUSLY? PANTHER VANITY PETS ARE COMING? AAAARGH!
If I had the final say and ultimate power (which you all delude yourselves to believe that I don't) on what Beast Mastery's pets would have been (keeping the limitations that they had in place, as they've explained them - no resources for additional/different models... just what we have right now), I am thinking I would have gone for three wolves, two panthers and one male lion.
I now return you to your bizarre offscreen scenario!

Yes, Panthers are coming as a continuing crusade to churn out as many revenue building four leg rig using pets as possible without regards to releasing them too closely together I might add. Ain't it grand we are going for the entire zoo now yippie!|

Unlike powersets, four legged rig revenue building vanity pets can be released in packs and one on top of the other without the adverse repercussion claimed related to doing the same with powersets that have been ready for months.
You have your 600 Paragon points ready to go?
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Perhaps it is just me, but I tend to imagine such posts as though they are being a bit tongue in cheek and not typing all capital letters in seriousness.
While the point may be serious and/or valid, I tend to view it as joking around with the delivery.
It very well may be that I give the benefit of the doubt too easily, but it certainly allows me to enjoy the forums a lot more than if I didn't!!
EDIT:
And the same with the "calm down" posts, heehee!

I remember it coming from (or being used as) a bit of a joke, but even that is debatable.
I suppose it is somewhat of a door of choices for the reader... laugh it off as a silly forum meme (reminding us to be relaxed) or be angered over not being taken seriously.

I'm personally glad they finally decided to add female minions of some sort (the bees are too!). Women/females are too underrepresented in the superhero genre as anything but damsels in distress. And yes, it's more realistic to have cooperative bad @$$ female lionesses than 2 male lions.
Applying logical real world science to a game with one of the most screwed up definitions of Quantum Physics? I think not.

My response was specifically to this part of the OP:

. Sorry, I haven't seen any vids of male lions taking down elephants yet, so I'll stand by my statement that they're more like pussycats than the females.|

Yay to supheroes and fantasy. Yay to customization. Nay to putting down females especially when unwarranted. That simple.
Current primary characters, all on Guardian:
The Amber Fist (Elec/Stone Tanker) | Pixelbeater (Fire/Kin Corr) | The Sequencer (Bots/Traps MM)
Blakkat (Claws/Dark Brute) | Mhogus'thra (Ill/Dark Cont) | Wyldhunt (Beast/Dark MM)
Oh, I certainly hear ya and agree on that front. No need to put either gender down!
I'm not entirely sure young males are not involved in such large hunts, but it is really besides the point. The females are absolutely outstanding.

Something for ppl to use
Have you seen the male lion models?
HURRRRRRRR is all I can think of when I see one.
They could have simply gone with more gender-neutral felines, such as tigers, leopards, puma, etc. But then people would snivel about those not being "pack" (pride) animals.
As ever, there's just no pleasing some people.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

That is kinda true. They look like stuffed animals, and on the two lowest qualities don't even have eyes.

You are absolutely right! This is a super power we are talking about here! These lions should, at the very least, have laser cannons that pop out of their backs, and be able to fly!!

Don't I know you???
The first female pet we get would *have* to be a lioness, wouldn't it? That does it. I'll have to make a bestial beast master to make the pet inappropriate.
