> [@stelagel](#): > > It is just a fear… > Father to father and gamer to gamer we totally understand each other. But of course. And please, I hope that you did not mistake my post as scathing criticism, as I would never. Although I am sure I have said multiple times now, you are one of my most valued friends here on the forum. And with your friendly and good natured demeanor stelagel, honestly, at this point in time you deserve this Asura title more than I do. But I digress. This was more of an insightful, good natured discussion between between friends. > [@stelagel](#): > > So this environment was not safe for me first and then for the other children. So it took me 2 weeks to understand it and stop it before I get trouble from literally nowhere. This I underatand. 👍 I shall not draw this point out and risk making your story more complicated than it need be or detracting from your point. Kudos. > [@stelagel](#): > > I don’t disagree with @BlackMamba suggestions at all, I just expressed a worry we all share, I believe. And to this end I understand your concerns. But do bear in mind that just to say…raise a wolf or tiger then pet it, a player would still need to level to an extent that they can unlock the appropriate Feat, survive in the appropriate biomes and procure the baby animals (requiring suitable weapons armor and healing products), have the know how to construct the animal pen, determine and gather the appropriate foods to grown them. Which leads me to this intertwined point. > [@drachenfeles](#): > > for me it wasn’t about petting per se, but about drifting content from mature to immature as a trend to broaden the audience and drive players like me away for good, I wouldn’t want that for CE > and frankly, adding petting so that game feels more family friendly feels like that Drach I get it man. Look go over my post history and you will see that I have been one of the most vocal proponents on this forum for more gore and brutality. Yet every time I have raised it the idea gets ignored, shouted down, or is usually lucky to pull half a dozen likes and this _still_ frustrates me to no end. Here some examples: [Example I](https://forums.funcom.com/t/let-us-collect-a-trophy/166016) [Example II](https://forums.funcom.com/t/dark-barbarian-dlc-a-call-for-greater-brutality/56919) [Example III](https://forums.funcom.com/t/two-new-types-of-skulls-to-harvest/78672) [Example IV](https://forums.funcom.com/t/quality-of-life-and-other-gaming-suggestions-from-a-homebrew-gamer-and-dungeon-master-for-years/81765) [Example V](https://forums.funcom.com/t/more-variety-in-fur-pelt-rugs-please/72754) And this is where my concern is that you may both be teetering a little on the slippery slope here lies. Adding the ability to pet an animal is not tantamount to my little pony or paw patrol characters making a guest appearance, or replacing swords with boquets of flowers and candy cannes. And to be frank I would say that adding the cartoonish likes of the Conan Chop Chop figurines was more an affront than this. Real life warriors and historical figures patted their horses and their hounds. > [@drachenfeles](#): > > on the other hand I wouldn’t mind petting added eventually, but only after we have more proper content to play with But I can appreciate this also. Moreover, I am happy to agree to disagree and respect both of your points of view. Right now I am just hanging to see what Update 3.0 has to offer. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.funcom.com/t/a-request-from-my-daughter/195207)._
