bdd, I remember that glitch (for some weird reason). I'm glad you're not using the lab due to that one. Many people did (and yes, some did get frozen for it while others went unnoticed).
The lab, for me, is too random for training purposes. The high hp/strength vs. low level/defense is what you normally see in stats. A true pain if you decide you want to train in defense - which is important for some weapons to be more effective, along with getting those boosts!
I use the lab, but I use it to adopt, heal, zap till painted or decent beginner stats, then put in the pound for adoption and start over. My current lab pet turned snow yesterday! So he'll be going to the pound today. Before that, he changed gender every day for the past week!
Many people either A.) Use the lab simply for asthetic reasons or B.) Have decided on being an offensive fighter already.
Many people use the lab because they want fast training.
Extremely strong pets may use the lab because they cannot use the training school anymore.
The reason you see so many people with high strength and HP, and pitiful defense is because they labbed for so long.
The Lab is also the reason you see such a lack of defensive fighters these days.
It's much harder to train defense. You'll most likely be paying codestones for every defense point you get, until you max out at the training school.
Then comes the horror of Silver Knight Neggs.
Anyway, all and all, I hope whoever uses the lab to train knows that they'll be playing some major catchup if they want high defense.
