Why ain,t im happy with the new Size of pet stable slots... Well right now im looking at all the pets i want... but i feel like there not enough space... if it was 30 slot stable or abit bigger i would be alot happier i want them all! I will have hard time letting go whatever pet i need to make space for New Pets they could add in Future as in new Rare Spirit beast every patch they sometimes release etc...I know it will give me pain but hey we all go through this pain.

Happy Hunting in Cataclysm!

I feel as though 25 is a really nice number for our stables. Though I'm sure there are some who desire more pets than that can allow, overall I think that if we had too many the pets would cease to be meaningful. 25 seems to rest comfortably on the line of 'just enough' and 'too many', in my opinion. Forcing us to make choices sometimes between pets strengthens the bond. If I could go out and tame every creature in the game with no repercussions I feel as though they'd lose their soul.

For me 25 is far more than enough. So far I've had trouble picking twelve!

I don't think I'd want it bigger. I'm very happy to be able to tame pets I want without having to release others, but honestly... even now, not two weeks after the patch, there are pets in my stables (I believe I have 12 total) I'm not using as much. I try to rotate, I try to give 'em all their time out with me, but you know, we develop preferences and favourites.

25 seems a good number to manage in terms of rotation and variety (whether it be for skins, families, buffs/debuffs/etc.). I doubt I'd fill my stables if they were larger.

25 is WAY more than enough. x.x; I barely know what to do with it all.

I find myself very content with having 25 stable spaces.

Since I do a lot of theming with my pets to their hunter, my stables stay relatively small and selective. I also have many hunter alts, so the overall number of pets I could have spanning across them doesn't seem in any danger of ever reaching its limit.

I honestly doubt I'd ever exceed my 25 limit with a hunter but that's just me.

I have no desire to even fill 10 slots, let alone 25.

Seriously, I'll likely not actively use more than 10. After that, it's just collecting them...

Hehe on both my hunts man my stable's packed with at least 10, mostly pets I really well, just enjoy their look or "feel", however on both I do have my top three with me constantly with a slot open...just in case.

With ten hunters and 25 slots I can tame 250 pets.

So yeah 25 slots is more than enough for me.

I remember when we got 5 and it was a big deal. 25 is enough for me too. Enough so you can have one of what ever you want, and then some.. but not so many that it totally 100% invalidates pet choice. Yoru stable's not supposed to be just a pull down of every tameable pet in the game. Pet taming and choice are still supposed to matter a little.

Even with all my spirit beasts and a wolf of every color, ghost saber, core hounds, ect... I've got plenty of room.

I'm taming pets just to tame them. I have pets in my stable I'll probably never use. There are maybe 12 total that I really want to have. I really thought I'd be happier with the stable spots, but I find myself lack luster about it. I have my 4 spirit beasts and Aotona, and I was happy to be bale to tame more since I won't let them go. I went and tamed my Archimedes back, and my Kurken, but after that it's been one of those... "I've never tamed a ravager before, I might as well get one for the stable since I have space." type of things. Unless they put a whole bunch more unique skinned pets in the game, I'm fine with the way it is.

For now, 25 is enough and more then what is needed, but i wonder what will happen when Cata is out.

I'm personally cramped on space, but while I *like* a lot of my new pets, I'm not sure that I *love* them. A lot of them aren't seeing action at all right now (of course, I'm not raiding either, which is the reason I went scouting some of them in the first place). There are lots of pets and skins I'm angsting about not having the room for, but I know that they don't suit my hunters anyway, so I'm dealing with it.

I haven't filled my stables yet, and as it stands more then half of the pets in my stables aren't used.
Either I tamed them because I had a vague interest in them or because I had them in the past and wanted them back for sentimental reasons, but most of those simply don't come out to play.

To be honest, I went on a mad taming spree (re)tamed about 7 or 8 pets and then was left with too much choice, so in the end I rolled an alt because I couldn't decide which pets to get out to level those last 7 levels to 80 with me!

For me the 25 slots is more then enough. But then again I'm the same in pokemon and games like that: I only tame the ones I really want or at least think will have a place in my team, I never feel the urge to "catch them all".

I suppose for collectors the 25 slots will quickly fill up, but for most hunters it probably will give them plenty of room for old and new friends to come.

The only real reason I might have space problems is me going on a taming spree for Parrots/Striders/Owls and thats on one alt. Since I have three Hunters it'll work it's self out.

Having this much space means I don't have to worry about losing anyone which in it's self is awesome.

Here is my current stable:

Blue Moth (trying out for pvp)
Tan Sithlid (too cute to resist)
Naraxis Spider (guild leader tease - Yes I'm evil)
Red and purple Owl (Like the skin, sweet birdie)
Aotona
White spiked wind serpent

King Krush
Skoll
Gondria
Arcturis
The Beast
Rak'shiri
Sian-Rotam
Ghost white leopard ( i like cats )
Two-headed white Vulture
Old Cliff Jumper (love this guy)
Hyena (trying this out)

Uhk'loc
Ghost Jormungar (so far best tanking pet I've found)
Boar (trying this out)
(released the turtle I had as I just couldn't find a bond with him)

This leaves me with 5 (1 currently locked) slots for pets.
1 is reserved for Loque (whenever he decides to forgive me for Frostbitten)
Rest, Cata.

To me this comes back to the very base idea of a BM Hunter, being able to step into the wilds and tame the various creatures we find. I'm still trying to find the right balance, connection and bond with the pets I've tamed. I'll freely admit I'm a nut when it comes to finding and taming rares, yet I've slowly been finding a closer bond to some non-rares as I feel they gel better with my hunter. Each player will approach this on their own terms and the number is right, not too many, not too few.

One could say, surely a hunter shouldn't have more than one pet, or that if they call a pet it should take time before it returns to the hunter (these might be seen as more RP playstyles, but it would in my opinion lend a more realistic approach to being a Hunter)...

Just my 2 pence (yeah I'm English, so no cents here ;))

4 Cats (Chowder, Panini, RileyTucker, Willis)
3 Tallstriders (Gustiver, Landaluce, Grekka)
2 Core Hounds (Beastly, Bailey)
2 Devilsaur (Maverik, Tromps)
2 Spirit Beasts (OsoDeSuerte, CalebMatthew)
1 Spider (Maexxna)
1 Silithid (Flit)
1 Wolf (PiratesBay)
1 Chimera (Stellan)
1 Moth (Gallifrey)
1 Worm (MsterBubbles)
1 Dragonhawk (Madrid)
1 Raptor (Haynesfield)

I'm saving room for a fox, a mastiff, a shale spider, and a felboar. While I would like to have an endless amount of room, I agree that they lose their personality when you have too many.

...That took a long time to plug in all those URLs, lol.

You win a biscuit for having Tallstriders.
