Archaic mechanics in Maple.

I think the pet system isn't necessarily archaic, but just stupid. We shouldn't have to pay for a pet... And then have to pay for each specific task it can do. You should buy a pet, and it should already be able to pick your stuff up.

Binoculars/Wing Boots/Scale/etc should be the optional purchase, not its ability to simply pick up items that drop.

I prefer JMS's way of managing this. You buy a pet and it already has skills (skills are dependent on what pet you buy), the only downside is that it expires in 30 days rather than 90.
