Dear Anet;
Our owner is asleep right now, but none of us here in the [K]ennel can sleep tonight, so we broke open some [Abyss dye] we found in our Master’s bag, and found a stack of 14 “Giver’s Darksteel Imbued Inscriptions”…we didn’t think he’d miss just one.
Over the last couple of months our Master has been growing into quite the hero! Together, with us faithfully by his side, we’ve seen the world, slain the mighty Zhaitan, and even got into a few tussels with some rival servers and players! It seems like so long ago we were just ordinary juvenile beasts, roaming the countryside…before our dear Master chose us…over all our siblings just a few yards away in either direction. We never dreamed that after the effort and time he took training us, and naming us, and relying on us…that our bond would fade.
Lately, our Master hasn’t been very satisfied with our performance…he always seems upset, and he never wants us to protect him anymore! We try to tell him. “Let me at ’em! Imma tear them apart!” but he says “Not now, why don’t you be a good pet and [Avoid Combat] for now…this fight requires careful positioning…and I can’t have you accidentally getting the attention of that mobile patrol over yonder!” We try to let him know we won’t mess up like we did all those other times…but…we still do. I guess learning from our mistakes isn’t something us beasts were designed to do.
He keeps talking to his hero friends, and we can hear him muttering about us being “Ignored by the developers”, and “Poor Pet Ai makes them mediocre”, and even “I wish I could just not have a pet in exchange for higher damage on my bow”. It’s not Mr. Brown Bear’s fault that he stood in lava till he died last week! It’s not Mrs. Jaguar’s fault that even though she can go invisible…and shes one of the most agile and nimble creatures known to man…that she can’t dodge/roll away from an aoe attack.
All we want to do here in the [K]ennel is see our Master happy again…happy to see us…and not complain that they can’t stow us more permanently. We feel that writing to you ANet is the only way to improve ourselves…so that Agony doesn’t instantly kill us anymore…When our Master wants us to use our special moves he should only have to ask [F2] once. Please help us! Even some of our Master’s hero friends made comments, that he doesn’t bring enough utility to the party…and we can’t stand to see him looking so dejected and depressed. We see our Master less and less these days….and we wondered…if there was a way for us to be better companions…maybe he’d like us more…and spend more time with us….and not forget our names everytime he put us in the [K]ennel for awhile.
Thank you Anet for taking the time to read a letter from us pets.
Sincerely;
The [K]ennel gang.
