So then, why are you trying to get rid of them for other people if you believe that? What gives you that right? You seem to want to have your cake and eat it too. It doesn't work that way, mate.
wtf 54 pages of back and forth and explanations and somehow people are still interpreting the suggestion the wrong way?

This suggestion affects
CLIENT-SIDE ONLY
. The pet owner wouldn't even notice it when someone around them is using the setting.

54 pages and you still haven't read a single post of mine.
So that makes it okay, Urek? No one so far has explained to me how that makes it okay. You say it's no big deal. I ask you WHY?

If someone creates a fashionscape outfit that includes a pet and wishes to express him or herself that way in-game, which is perfectly within the perimeters set by its developer, Jagex, then who the hell do you think you are to think you have the right to disable that as it pleases you?

I'm looking at this in the big picture and it has serious implications to give players the power to control how other players choose to consume their content and express themselves in-game. Freedom, guys, it's about freedom.

If you don't like someone's pet, then look away.
If you lag with someone's pet on screen, then fix it. It's not their problem.
If you don't like the size of someone's pet, tough luck for you. Be glad you didn't pay for it.

Nothing stops any of you from engaging in completely normal social interaction and asking someone to please put their pet away. If you ask it like this instead of "&#@& off with the drake" I'd be dumbstruck if the person didn't oblige, but it's important to understand that they don't have to .

If you think Jagex didn't mean for pets to be bragging rights; When was the last time you examined a boss or skilling pet? Try it. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

You completely overlooked the fact that this update only affects people who say they hate pets for any number of reasons. Being Large, Screen Cluttering, Visually Obstructing, SOMETIMES lag causing, annoyances that they never wanted.

You arent understanding that this isn't about the whole game being unplayable, it's just the people who are negatively affected anytime they are around pets.

Pets like the drake aren't necessary in any way, and your drake can never ever benefit me in any way, so why am I forced into looking at it when you havenit out?

And you can't understand it's only affecting me, when I have the setting on. Just like it only affects me when I turn off shadows.

Main point is, whether you think this update is for you, or not. It's not. And you dont have the right to tell us what updates we can or can't have. And you dont have the right to tell us what to do to enjoy the game.

If you like pets, then nothing will happen to you. At all.

This update doesn't have to be for you, and we don't need your support.

Mate, 3 of those things are exactly the same. This is exactly what I mean with each of your posts, it's all fluff, it's a decoy, it has no substance. You're talking, but you're not really saying anything. No matter how hard I try to get something of substance out of you, you just keep disappointing me with these poofed up strawman arguments.

Why are you forced to look at another player's stuff? Because you're in an MMORPG! I assume you know what MMO stands for? Go play Skyrim or something if you want a fully customised world, tailor made to your heart's content. This is an MMO and as such, you're going to guaranteed be interacting with people. If that's not acceptable to you, then why are you playing an MMO?

I have a new found respect for people who keep their drakes out at busy places now after this thread... I had no idea how bad it was. You people are impossible to please and seem to only care about yourselves at any cost to other players.

The "No support" I had previously has been upgraded to a 2 story tall bright yellow neon sign now. I'm thinking of an elaborate fountain in front, but haven't decided yet on the material. And no, you will not be able to disable it. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Lmfao enjoy your sign. I'll enjoy continuing to support this thread ;) bye bye Xav, will look forward to your reaction when it happens.

Aww, thank you! I knew you cared.
Don't worry, I'll take a picture of my salty tears if this gets implemented, for your entertainment.

Until then though, I've decided what I'm going to do with the fountain, look! :D

However anyone tries to justify this animation to me, or need for having the pet, it will not absolve the fact that the drake is annoying, relentless, and boring. The majority of other animations are subtle enough to not be annoying, usually interesting to see, but the drake is an eyesore every time. It conveys nothing except inattentive idiocy and I could care less about any prestige it's supposed to have for spending shop coins.

The annoyance from repetitive undulation isn't the only bothersome element. What also sucks is that it obstructs the view of my character when the player with it on display is standing in the right position. Why am I forced to leave an area, or hop worlds, because someone pulls a pet out that blocks my character?

At least make it so the drake can't block the view of my own character.

You aren't forced to do anything, its just that if you choose to complain you have to deal with the consequences.

Ppl should know by now how big the drakes are so if ppl choose to have the out, and they have every right to, then you should know to just deal with it or do one one of the things you suggested.

Are there really people who care that their pets are seen, to the point they'd be upset if others did have the ability to toggle them off? I've got pets from the shop and if someone didn't want to see them... so what! I buy things for my character and overall gaming experience, not to try to impress other players, period. Maybe it's my bad for not being able to understand the mind set of those who are so ridiculously petty and narcissistic they'd be upset if other people toggled off their precious goods.

All of that said, I do not support. There really is too much clutter with the interface and so many things to toggle already. Honestly, pet drakes are not everywhere like they used to be when they first came out, now I only see them in masses when it's a double xp weekend or something. I rarely see them outside of that and, when I do, it's usually just one and I don't find it annoying or impossible to see my character. If it's on me, I just adjust my camera angle. If they're troubling you that much, maybe try a lower populated world or going somewhere else in the same world where the drake(s) isn't.
