Make all vanity pet rewards drop as recipes.

[Mystoc]

some people (me included) hate having their power description clogged up by these vanity pets who don't mesh with your powers or character Identity.

 

I think the simplest solution is to make all vanity pets drop as recipes like what is done with Giant Monster pet drops (if recipes is full email, it instead). This lets the player choose if they want the pet or not, because for some us we just want the badge or to try out the new event and have no idea that a pet is going to be given.

Can it be deleted? If not, then maybe asking for the ability to delete unwanted vanity pets would work just as well for you without having to go back and change the pets to recipes?

 

Edit: Nope, it can't be deleted. Just tried with mine. So maybe the ability to delete vanity pets from our characters would be a better option seeing as how you already have an unwanted vanity pet on your character.

No vanity pets cannot be removed/deleted. other options could be

• add an option to disable showing all vanity pets in your powers description
• let us control which vanity pets are shown in your powers description
• let us delete vanity pets (like you said)

 

while I feel like all three options would be nice options to have, I feel they would take much more work to get done so am not requesting them. I do know though vanity pets can drop as recipes when fighting GMs already so I'm requesting this change since I feel like it has the most likely chance of getting implemented.

All good options. Didn't think of those first two. Thanks.

I know some vanity pets are set to drop as recipes. Which (I believe but don't know since I don't have any) we then have to craft. However, I think it would be easier to add the temp power deletion code to our vanity pets (as a mass application so all vanity pets could simply be deleted if we don't want them regardless of how we got them) than it would be to go back and make new recipes for each of the vanity pets that don't already drop as recipes. (Edit: After all, people change their minds all the time. What about that person that crafted a vanity pet from the recipe, but later decides it doesn't fit their character after all?)

I agree that letting us delete vanity pets is the better outcome I just know its been suggested multiple times and still not in the game so the devs have their reasons im guessing? what im suggesting is a middle ground that already has proven functionality in the game recipes for vanity pets already exist for every GM in the game.

given how close we are to anniversary time capsule event that gives pets directly instead of dropping them as recipes I am hoping there is enough time to change this behavior so am bumping thread.
