What about a wizard class. Which all in all would be the strongest class with even a crappy little pet. A wizards biggest problem is keeping the mob occupied while he/she cast a spell. Think about it even if the pet had 200 HP it would take a giant 2 hits to kill it giving the casting times on wizard spells. He could get his root off and then proceed to whip up the giant I am not saying he would still win, but a class that is strong like wizards that do not use pets and would really damn strong if they did, would be something Verant would not ever do.

They could allways restrict the class at which certain pets could be aquired. Max out the skillcaps.

Warrior - 90

Rogue - 110

Enchanter - 500

you get the idea...

The only problem with this is Linkdead's. If you are forced to zone against your will due to a problem with the game or the ISP connection, you lose it. Also this still allow pets to classes I am not sure Verant wants to have pets like Warriors and rogues.
