Putting it as a lb prize would just recreate the exact same problem (not to mention the ethically dubious nature of these types of lb events as a whole, and what they psychologically encourage players to do during the weeks of the event.)
Raw is right... if SnS currently occupies a ball park all of it's own, the best solution is to step up the game on pet stats (both pvp and pve orientated) and populate that park with other competitive pets - that's pets plural; New Arcane pets which outshine SnS, new mythic pets which are on a par with SnS or only slightly worse, and new legendary pets which are just slightly worse again (Not new legendary pets with meh stats which are never going to make it to the top of anyones pet rotation *new crate pets I'm looking at you.*)
Give us lots of new and highly desirable options, including some which are equal to and some which are greater than SnS.
His rise to OP-ville was based on the assumption that the power of pets an items should increase in order of release into the game, and his retirement from the limelight should be based on that same assumption, as well as being based on all of the other valid points raised in this thread.....
