new method to training a new minion (in General)

Instead of training a new minion, the current way that cost way too much...

can we get a new method called "cloning"?

Cloning:
-cost 100,000 or whatever set amount.
-when you clone a selected minion, you decide the percentage of experience points to be "transfered". The new cloned minion gets that amount of xp while the original minion lose that amount of exp (the exp lost is proportionally removed from all trained stats on the original minion.
-The range for exp is 10%-50% (or so) to be transfered to prevent abusing of creating "fake" 1% clones or 99% clones.
-with this method, there is no MPR gained.
-allowed creation of diverse strategy even at the top tiers.
-only works if character has less than 4 minions, of course.
-even though, it cost far less than training a new minion, it is potentially a bigger investment since if you do fired the new clone, you permanently lose the "invested" exp.
-don't know if the clone should have the exp in a pool or created with same stats/skills as the original.

Bored at work. Just want to throw that idea out there...

Giving 1-2 minion teams even more versatility :( :( :(

again, I point out that if you can't deal with the hiring cost, start out with more minions. Minion selection should be a big commitment.

Not really Rawr, this would just allow those of us who have been 1 minion before the update to now have 4, since that's what Jon wanted...

"Minion selection should be a big commitment."

stating your reasons for this opinion might help to convince people that you are correct.

I started with four and now that I want to change I can't. It is so rigid and as a newer player I sort of wish I was told that if I chose 4 minions i MUST be four minions forever

I don't care about the cost of new minions no matter what my MPR. I plan on reaching the top and increasing my team from 1 minion to 4 minions. I've heard complaints about people having too much money to spend so I'm not worried about the cost. I'm a very patient man ^_^
