Kane,
For Pet Wars would you be able to make two (2) Tiers for it? Entry level and an advanced?  Basically Ameture and Professional level for the Pet War tag.

I will address this now but also going to say something at pet wars.. also post over on Candy's thread so I cover everyone..

1.  I do not run Pet Wars, Candy Apple does.. I merely support her effort to run a good fair event.

Now that being said, the new system does create an issue for Pet Wars so this is what I have in mind..  You will be able to get a pet wars deed, once you tame a pet for pet wars you will use the deed on the pet.  The deed will check to make sure the pet is clean, no pots, power scrolls or even training of experience/ability points will be permitted for it to be tagged "Pet Wars".  From that point forward we can enforce all rules needed in the code.

*  DNA for a Gen 1 pet is figured out when spawned, has nothing to do with skills or the tamer (So it will remain)
*  Ability Points will come from the DNA only (Skills and Gear will have no effect on the ability points awarded)
*  Traits for a Gen 1 pet is figured out when spawned,  has nothing to do with skills or the tamer (So it will remain)

My goal is simply to even the playing field for all players (New and Old) and use this event to introduce players to our custom pet system.

Now if we get enough people doing pet wars where we need to break it up and Candy Apple wants to, sure.. her event her call.  I do not want to because then the rewards become different and you end up with everyone trying to just be on the good reward side. Just the nature of playing.  Candy Apple and I discussed this a few days ago as soon as players brought it to her attention, my time frame is Pet Wars is today, so I have until the next Pet Wars to have it in place.. So we can use it. 

All this being said, one of the things I was watching since the new pet system was put in place is did this change the winners of pets, did it suddenly lean towards a certain direction.  In a small sample size, the answer is no not yet.  We are dealing with Gen 1 pets, does someone with gear have an advantage sure which is why the tag is being created.  Need to make it as fair as possible.   

 I do think we all want the same thing, pet wars being fair for everyone.
