I don't think there needs to be any changes to be made to this pet, whatever it is boosting rates for it or whatever. It is currently fine the way it is. I rather have 1 skilling pet that is more rare than others and most definitely do not start removing it from everyone and adding only to mahogany home that is one of the most absurd things I heard for a while. This whole thread seems like a rant, because I can't get it we need to make it easier. I don't know why you need to get that badly a house with a chicken legs. I also think lack of house pets is because none hunting it actually after finishing construction expect like a few people.
It might come off as a rant, but I think I bring up some serious points for consideration. Kind of like your cox suggestion, except I provide evidence.
At the end of the day, I'm not trying to suggest anything directly. I just want to stir up conversation and brainstorm with the community.
I really don't care if i'm the one that gets the house pet. I just want someone on Alora to get the house pet–someone to break that 5 month dry streak and prove it's still possible.
That's what brings us to question 2 in the polls. Perhaps we can have a house pet hunt from mahogany homes to both encourage players to try new content and prove it's still possible.
From question 3, it seems pretty clear that the vast majority of the community have yet to try mahogany homes. (3 who do vs 13 who dont)
Once again, I'm sorry if this comes off as a rant. I really wanted to avoid that hence the feedback post instead of a suggestions post.
I'm also sorry that I'm so skeptical about drop rates.
If I wasn't skeptical from the start, the chance of house pet from mahogany homes would still be 0% today, and many of you would still say the same thing.
"It's fine the way it is."
Plus, take a look at the Holy Ornament Kit from hard mode TOB.
The update notes imply that it's a 50/50 between Holy / Sanguine, yet in reality it's impossible to get the Holy Ornament Kit.
How do I know this? Because I maintain a healthy level of skepticism and speak up when I notice unusual patterns. I really hope you can try to understand where I'm coming from.
As evidence, here's a recent bug report I made based on a hunch that turned out to be a very important fix.
Hi @Real Alan, couple of things I'd like to touch on.
1. I'm someone who has 400m construction XP across a handful of accounts, and almost all of it was done with pet boosters + the golden hammer because I really wanted the pet. I've gotten a grand total of zero pets.
2. I am biased because I see the house pet as something that is extremely rare and should remain THE skill pet to grind for.
3. You are asking for community feedback for a continuation to your May 28 suggestion (i.e. reworking the chances of getting the House Pet from the current training meta) so I provided my response. You and Detharrow can claim all you want that this post is "only game feedback" and "not for you to support/not support", but in reality it's just another suggestion post to rework the pet rates but with a poll component. Moving on....
The main problem i have with this entire post, and your response, is that the pet chance rework has only been live for about three weeks, NOT five months. The title of the post is technically correct, that there have been no pets for five months!! But looking closer, the reason there were no house pets from *roughly* late Feb to July 1 was because it just wasn't possible from the new training meta until the July 1 update. Nobody could cheese 99/200m construction XP anymore due to the removal of incense burners (which was stupid easy, let's all be honest), so I suspect almost everyone was using Mahogany Homes to train from then onward.. which, as we already established, resulted in zero pets until Dan finally patched the issue in the July update.
So as I see it, what we have is three weeks of the rates being as they "should" be, and no pets. Considering the time gaps in pet drops in the Discord pics you provided, that's nothing crazy out of the ordinary, especially when you consider that fewer and fewer people are maxing their accounts/going for 200ms.
I completely agree with you that the house pet "should remain THE skill pet to grind for."
But you have to understand... a 5 month long dry streak could be very discouraging to new players.
Many new players don't even know of the house pet's existence because it's never on yell. No one has been able to find one! Has it gone extinct?
Why would a new player drop a pet booster for a house pet, when no one's been able to do it for 5 months?
I'd honestly tell a new player to just use your pet boosters elsewhere... unless there is a House Pet Hunt going on of course @Moe 
When wintertodt was released there was a phoenix hunt. When Tempoross was released there was a tiny tempur hunt.
It only make sense to have a House Pet hunt from Mohagany homes now that they're actually obtainable.
I'm really curious why 7 out of 16 people do not support a house pet hunt. If you're one of those, please share some insight on your reasoning!
Besides, Alora could really benefit from giving the house pet some more attention.
A house pet drop on yell every once in awhile could give players the hope they need to join the hunt themselves and pop some boosters of their own, thereby supporting the server.
Also, regarding the point you mentioned in 3, I really urge you to read what I wrote to @2 above and try to look at it from a different perspective.
If nothing gets said. Nothing gets fixed. I just want to bring attention to an unusual pattern I've noticed and brainstorm on potential solutions.
Lastly, regarding your main problem with the post, I completely understand where you're coming from. A 3 week period is absolutely a short window.
But if you were in my shoes, at what point would you have rung the alarm? 1 month? 3 months? 6 months?
I shouldn't have to worry about whether people support or don't support my feedback. I'm just bringing attention to an unusual pattern.
Like what I say or not, I think we need more people in the community to speak up and voice their feedback... instead of complaining "shit game" or "staff are useless"
