We don't have any intentions at this time to increase the total number of stable slots.

However, we are interested in possibly changing the way Hunter's might use stable slots. The issue we see, is that a stable slot is usually left empty in order to swap out pets and take abilities off of them. This results in Hunters usually having one empty stable slot at all times, waiting for that "disposable" pet.

We might be changing the way taming works, so that beast training can be used without actually having to tame and stable a pet. This could then allow Hunters to store an actual pet in that previously empty slot, effectively increasing the stable size.
