Yes, a mudcrab is fun and also that other thing.

But what i really had hoped for was a Cliff Racer. And it should make that nice squek sound every other minute.

a goat

Vanity pets are worthless. They only use space in your backpack.

i would like to see them disappear from all future games including this one

in FFXIV i had almost 20 different ones, and i only played a few months, well ill admit my 5 year old daughter thought they where just awesome

Well, they are optional. You don't like them you destroy them. I like a few of them. They should not take up inventory space though they should be or a skill to call them or in a special inventory like a pet collectors bag or a datapad like SWG.

I don't really see any value in them. Might summon mine to take a look at them but then will get rid. I have Daedra to play with

I personally like the scuttle better than the mud-crab (unless it talks to me like that one mud-crab in Morrowind that had 20000 gold).

Guar would be my choice.
