Obviously the administrators forgot to mention in the changelog an important modification which occurred yesterday : infused gear has now the "No Pet" tag. Enjoy another sneaky unannounced change. Who is next ?

Custom gear should never have been being handed out to pets. When I found out it was possible I relooked at the gear and checked the box that I never noticed before. Nothing sinister occurred I corrected something that should not have been possible and that could make pets over powered for the content on the server.

never understood the reason to put gear on a pet when if the pet or the caster dies you lose it all anyway. it's different on a charmed pet at least you can kill it and get the stuff back.

I will say technically EQ never had a problem with you giving your pet whatever you wanted to give it. To Socar's point they just assumed you were dumb because you lost it when you died.
I dont have a problem with them keeping any item giving to a pet.
Im not 100% sure im on board with no pet for infused but whatever.

How did putting infused items on a pet make them overpowered?
They can tank 4 mobs rather than 1 or 2? Other classes on the server can tank more and do considerable DPS at the same time. I'd say that it doesn't feel game breaking or over powering, especially when balancing against other classes.

I will add that it is all gear Custom+ not just infused. We changed Infused, Abyss Infused, Synthesized, Legendary, and all Fabled varieties. These were never meant to be pet gear. If we had thought for a moment that any of this gear would be given to pets, we would not have released a item to summon pet gear. If we had wanted pets to have those types of stats the pet gear would have those types of stats.
