Yes it is. It's a minigame nothing more.
Leave apart the fact that it's pretty much RNG, as it kinda depends on the combos you fight;
Like how? Using heal abilities, or defenses in combo with attacks? Seem like a correct way to play instead of spamming 1 attack
The level of pets it matches you with is not exactly correct, you can easily find 2 really low level pets or two hugh level pets.
That's why you need to level your own pet to match those you see in the wild. Lowers are easier to catch, harder is more work to get. I don't see what is wrong with this. Ah... you want easy childsplay critters to be caught in a heartbeat right?
Pet store pets are overpowered... the best example is the ridiculous Pandaren Monk, able to 1 shot any pet in 2 turns: 1 buff up (100% crit) 2 attack = one shot. In my opinion, if it doesn't change it will only show how the pet battle system was an attempt to make players buy pets.
They are rare quality, nothing more. You can find rares in the wild enough. This is nothing more than QQ from your point. Also you should look into pets strengths and weaknesses. They are strong against one kind and weak against another. Yh Blizzard totlly made all these pets a scam for the Pet Battle system before they even thought it up, do you even read your own text??? Don't give that pet time to buff up then if it keeps kicking your ass in battle, or get one that the monk pet is weak against... Ever played Pokemon? Guess not...
There are also many bugs and meaningless things. For example, planting mines that should explose when your enemy switches a pet.. I've seen many of those mines explode at random times.. sometimes when your oponent switches a pet, otehr times when he switches for second time and that if you are lucky, 40% of the times mines won't really explode at all.
Read the tooltip if it really is supposed to work like that. Also bugs can still be in the system, it's new you know... with patch 5.1 not even out. Welcome to WoW.
Dodge... that's really lame, there shouldn't be any dodge/miss. You already depend on the set up you fight, which you can try to face as good as you can with your pets and spells... but you can easily enter a chain of 3 attacks dodged.. .that's plain wrong.
QQ is all I read here... "Boohoo that pet avoided my attack, QQ!" I guess you do not appreciate depth of play and would rather have a system where ALL pets handle and work exactly the same, no matter what kind they are. Don't fight pets that are above your lvl (of skill), or will you start a QQ-storm about not being able to kill a mob 10 lvls higher then you are as well?
How's our experience so far with the system? I believe that it could be quite fun if they really sovle the issues.
