I was kind of excited for G13. It seemed they were trying to improve the game, making it interesting.
Then came the dragons, f*ck devcat, screw mabi.
Heck, I would join you guys in your nerdgasm festival if it wasn't for the fact they're releasing cutesy foolishly dumb looking dragons. Those aren't dragons, they're just overgrown lizards, literally. See the face of that black "dragon"? now check the face of the black thorned lizard. Notice something similar? yeah, me too.
Screw you devcat, give me Legatus sized/looking dragons and I buy 3 dozens. Otherwise, take your fluffy cotton rainbow flavored dragons to that recycle bin over there.
yeah that's going to crash things , that's kinda why pets usually aren't oversized I still prefer Thunder Dragon

Screw the rest of my pets D: I'll just get 9 dragons to hotkey, fast mount on both fields, huge inventory, and strong. I don't need to diversify my pets anymore. Time for an army of clones.

But if you take into consideration, having Legatus sized dragons would be unreasonable. From a screenshot earlier, when you first summon the dragon, you get a cutscene with an egg, meaning that they're only dragon-pups. Unless you expect a dragon to lay an egg that's the same size as it.

Hmmm.
If only Giant mounting a dragon would make them Legatus size.

True. Or maybe, an option to minimize all dragons, or minimize every dragon BUT yours.
Only then would I consider the option of a Legatus sized dragon.

Legatus size dragons would be a definite NO.
That wouldn't just be laggy, that'd be overdone and pretty lame :<

And no, I wasn't being sarcastic. The reason I dislike dragons in every MMO that has them as a pet/ride is because they use crappy models, plain and simple.
And whoever was repeating "they're freaking dragons" sorry dude/dudette, I refuse to adknowledge those "things" as dragons.

Hi Kaz, considering everyone and their mother seems to be buying these crappy looking "lizards" I think the overdone part isn't exclusive to my suggested idea of dragon pets.

It would be so lame running around on a giant dragon, first of all, they would either have to be overpowered, to make sense for their size, or underpowered for their size to be fair, secondly, that would just look stupid, a giant dragon with a little person on it flying around, that would just look SO awkward for a pet, plus, it wouldnt really work very well in dungeons!

But Adniel is a Gold Dragon, not a Blue Dragon like Legatus or Cromm, or a Red Dragon like Crumena. And devCAT never really went into details on Gold Dragons, other than they're protectors of Erinn, and only one is alive at a time. Meaning that either A) A full grown Gold Dragon is crazily huge, probably taking up half the screen, even with Zoom Mods, or B) Since it's a special dragon that's only around during special conditions, that it's naturally at full grown size from birth so that it can perform it's duties from the get-go instead of having to wait until it grows.
And now we look at the Fire and Thunder Dragons. While they may be limited, there's a large number of them (potentially), meaning that they're not as special as Adniel is. Since they're not special, they need to grow in order to get to full size, which will take many, many years (and with Mabi's aging system, the pet stops growing at 5, and doesn't change appearance after 10, so you'll never see many, many years).
And besides, if it's normally the size of Legatus, then think about how big it'll be when a Giant summons it. I don't know about you, but I would like to see where I'm going and what I'm fighting. Dx

So if they released a dragon pet the size of three houses and blocks your whole screen unless you have zoom mods you'd be happy? o__o
I meant overdone as in too much DRAGON, not as in how every game has one. This is just a pet after all, and it's not like it's total crap.
