I would say it can be acceptable for a boss pet to give better loots at there own boss / place of bosses to an extent of ~5 percent this could then be combind with the ex ex for a gained 2 percent (or what it is)!

This would be cool, make pvming for boss pets worth it for money in the long run and improve voting for the ex ex.

If boss pets come out one at a time then it becomes a mad rush of everyone trying to get them at once and then after a day everyone goes back to their usual gameplay. If they were all released at once it would give a lot more immediate content to players and wouldn't leave them constantly waiting for the next one, a long with a hundred other people.

As for how the pets should be dropped is another matter but let's be honest the corp event was probley the best by far in a community perspective. Many old friends came on to Pvm with me, clan recruitment a went up with new players being able to corp, but I see your point and personally wouldent mind either way

It's an interesting proposition, but as for people having multiple pets, I honestly see no problem with that, since you can only ever use one at any given time anyway. Plus the baby corps don't go to your refund box (I think), meaning if you lose it, you'll need to re-obtain one. Having more than one comes in handy then.

We're still thinking of the particular features boss pets could offer, but I'm thinking something along the lines of giving them extra drop rates on their own (but only when fighting the boss that dropped it), as well as damage reduction from said boss. None of this has been finally decided yet though, so this can still change.
Letting a boss pet eat your ex-ex-parrot to get extra droprates on all NPC's could be a thing, but then I'd have to add a second version of each boss pet first. However, if I'd implement that, how would I name it?
