Hm. I wouldn't say it's because people were interested, but probably more that they weren't interested in picking a fight. As mentioned, there's a high risk of things getting ugly OOC vis a vis lore and "proper" RP philosophy with this stuff. I know personally speaking that if you and I were RPing and you were treating the pet as being an actual summoned imp, I'd just go with it for the duration of the RP and then pretend it never happened in the future.
I know that sounds petty, but most folks who are "breaking" lore aren't open to discussing that sort of thing in the middle of RP. That, and since there's no REAL authority in game, there'd be no end goal or solution. No one can actually call the cops/flames/blades on a person summoning demons in the middle of the Quicksand, but that'd likely just get the "yep, griefing" reaction and be ignored. Most people don't want to bog down their RP with arguments about what is and isn't allowed.
