I idea'd this on the mud but I thought I'd put it here for others to see as well. I noticed the pet level cap remains in place. I was hoping that could be adjusted to have the maximum level a certain percentage below the player's or possibly no level cap at all.
My assumption is based on the fact that my pets experience cap has not increased when my player's level increased.

Any word on this one? It's kinda crappy that a pet's level is still 45! Makes leveling the character difficult
