Sure, the smaller size helps, but have you seen Ifrit-Egi? That thing is menacing.
Oh, undoubtedly. The Egi would certainly give people pause, and I don't doubt a fair number of people might react poorly to one. There's a reason why my character doesn't keep an Egi out in cities other than Revenant's Toll (due to its high adventurer population).
EDIT: That said, from a lore standpoint, Warlocks in WoW are doing something that has, in a documented way, demonstrably caused mass death and destruction across multiple worlds and is known to corrupt its wielders. By contrast, XIV's Summoners are practicing an Allagan art that is nothing of the sort. While that probably doesn't make much difference to the Average Joe who sees some robed dude walking around with a floating monster of fiery claws behind him, it would mean something to the guilds, adventurers, and other "in the know" sorts.
