What is your suggestion?: Give the Gemstone Crab Kc and Pet drop

Is this in OSRS?: No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?:

Anything grindable is better when you can track it; perhaps you earn a "kc" for being part of the top 16 who get loot or since generally less than 16 people will be killing the crab at any given point it could be top 3 or 5.

Additionally, the chance to receive a mini-gemstone crab pet would be a fun addition giving the activity a little more value. The model would make for a good, unique pet. Perhaps a lower drop rate since kills are 10 minutes. 1/300?

Tormented demon pet has scarred me for life, so I'm saying no support to this.

Sweet. How about for everyone else who isn't you?

I wouldn't want the community to suffer the same way.

On a serious note, I'm not a fan of custom pets like these, tormented demon was already a mistake, so lets try and limit that.

nty to more custom pets, i agree with H, tormy pet ruined these ideas for me personally

[Real Alex]

I'm curious as to what exactly about "custom" (there is content within the game you are required to do to get the pets) pets you guys don't like. Is it that;

1. They aren't in osrs so that automatically makes it a no for you. Seems like an odd take for an rsps

2. Torm is a shit boss to grind and "having" to grind it for pet (no one is forcing you to pet hunt) made you want to never bring extra pets in regardless of ease/difficulty to obtain?

I'll have to side with Variant and H on this one. While it's true that this is a RSPS, Alora tries to stay as true as possible to OSRS. Most of the times that it "strays" from OSRS is for QoL reasons... I would also like it to stay away from custom content as much as possible and that includes custom pets.
No support from me, unfortunately. 

[Yautja]

support, the game already has a lot of custom pets so why not add more

[mochiii]

NO SUPPORT , this will be a never ending suggestion with custom pets ever since the first few got added. The arguments always going to be "well we have this pet and its not in osrs", at this rate we will have over 1000+ useless custom pets.

I enjoy content being close to osrs and not have everyone have weird pets following them (example the daily login streak pets, I’m against those as well) on top of that, this isn’t a boss, and it would most likely be an insane drop rate for afking? Like mochiii is saying, if they slide an odd thing here and there without polling it it’s out of our control, but I don’t think we should actively look to adding these weird pets anymore. Also the argument of “no one is forcing you” is always weird, we pet hunt because we enjoy it, no one is forcing you to play, but you play because you enjoy it, doesn’t mean you want the game to be made worse because “no one is forcing you to play”.

[Real Alex]

Rest assured the game won't be worse because of oddball pets. How in any way is pointing out that you have the option to not grind something "always weird"? Frankly your statement from "also the argument" --> until the end "no one is forcing you to play" makes 0 sense.. we are talking about pets here. A pet being added to a piece of playable content can't "make the game worse". How does it make the game worse? Because super nerds "have" to go get the pet for collection log lol?

bro i just dont agree lol but gl on your suggestion

[Real Alex]

I know you don't agree and that is perfectly fine. I just like to try to understand the reasoning behind people's thoughts and bring them to their logical conclusions =) Thank you for posting regardless.

Just don’t see adding another 40+ hour pet grind as any benefit to the game, especially on an afk npc, also don’t enjoy adding custom pets for every activity, I could see this as a gateway to adding pet to barrows, moons, etc and I think it’s poor taste since we advertise being close to osrs. But we can agree to disagree
