Pretty much this.

If I am buying a pet, it is either for this event, which means it is going to be released, or I like it and it is relatively cheap. In either case, speed is important before someone else buys it, so I don't tend to check profiles, just buy the pet.

As for the original question: Sort of, but not really.

I have always found it slightly odd that players want to sell the pets (on any site, not here, as I haven't been here long enough to really get to know the culture) but still want to be able to retain certain rights to them.

I think it is mostly my nature. Once I sell a pet, I may *want* that pet to go to a 'forever home' or a loving home for however long, but if I had truly wanted to see it got a loving home, I would have kept it myself. If I am selling it, I acknowledge the new owner might do something I would prefer they not do. I do not expect the new owner to follow what I might like for the pet, nor even ask me what I want for the pet.

On Sylestia, especially, it isn't like the pets are gone completely, like they are on gryffs when they are deleted, or mostly permanently like on FR when they are exalted. Here the pets are still searchable, still retrievable, to my knowledge, as long as the user wants. So, I have even less guilt about releasing the pets, because I can always get them back in the future should I want to.

*Sigh* Im not talking about for this event. As I said in response to Orca, I DONT MIND IT. Im talking about generally.

Anyone else who wants to say something similar about my original response, please read the entirety of what I wrote in said response. Thanks 8/.
