I'll keep it short and concise.

You know how you can use the festival hats guy to summon your hats for you at any time? This should be done with minipets that have been added to the HoM. That way they won't be taking up all my inventory space. Basically, after you've added a pet to the HoM, you either have to delete it, or let it take up space in your bags. That's not cool.

Nice idea, if it was implemented at the first birthday. Now it can never be done, as people with dedicated Mini Dhuums, smites, Kuunavangs, zipppys oni's and whatever is expensive will instantly lose theyr "Valuable" items.

Good idea 5 years ago. Now, something that wont happen.

This is much more complex then you give it credit for because you missed a very important difference between hats and minipets: minipets can be traded. This screws up your entire idea. Lets say I dedicate a Kanaxai and trade it. What happens then? Can I get another copy for personal use only (win-win)? Does the guy I sold it to have it removed (lose-lose for him) to fix the system? I would like something like this, but it just won't happen without a major overhaul of the system or a lot of very angry people.

How will they lose it exactly? It can just be resummoned with a minipet vendor. It's no different at all other than being able to say "okay, quit taking up inventory space now until I want you again."

Obviously make dedicated pets customized like weapons so you can't trade them. Who would wanna buy a dedicated pet?

OR as an alternative.. Give us a minipet storage tab. They're just far too abundant to be taking up regular inventory slots. GIve us something akin to crafting storage.

Making minipets untradeable would only work if the minipet system was implemented now. People have already traded minipets, so there will be exceptions to the system.

Also, people do buy ded minipets. Mostly the really high end ones like Kanaxai, Visu, etc.

Previously suggested. At the very least, it's close enough to this idea.
