In Veksar this weekend for a little down time, you know nothing hard just fun with friends. Had a Mage in the group that I did not know. Everything is going well, one of the rare spots you will get an add guess what?

We get an add, my pet is off tanking, me tanking the other, as fate would have it, I keep getting interrupts on pet heals, pet dies (Mourns Ever Faithful Companion), we finish off the mobs. I decide not to re-summon for the next two mobs, cause they are the last two to get to camp site. We kill last two mobs and are getting ready to drop down to the Highborn camp and the Mage pipes in "Now I remember why I left EQ months ago" I /gsay "Like?" His reply is "Stupid people that don't know how to play their class. You are a Beastlord, your pet died two mobs ago and you did not summon a new one." He proceeds to Gate, Disband and Camp.
Now here is the real kickier. This Mage never summoned a pet the entire short group. Why?!?!
Because he did not buy any Malachite when he logged on. And I was the stupid person!

We just laughed it off and went about our having a fun time.
