What's the purpose of vanity pets? Seriously, they can't help do anything. I would rather do things with my pet. I mean sure, I guess people feel more attached to them because they're harder to get, but can you actually have an in game owner and pet relationship with them? I don't think so.

I'm guessing you are either new or have been gone from the game for a couple of years. All Vanity pets are now Battle Pets who can be named and made to fight against the endless army of critters out there.

You mean... something like
Pet Battles
?

Vanity pets and companion pets cannot enter into battles. Battle pets can.

There is no such thing as vanity pets or companion pets anymore; all of them fall under battle pets.

There are a few pets that cannot battle, I too wish my balloons could fight.

They can still be renamed though.

My argent gruntling can't fight, either. :-(
(And eventually, I'll get an argent squire... Someday... someday...)

Just about every vanity/companion pet (which are just two different names people had for the exact same type of pet) from before the battle pet system was implemented was turned into a battle pet when that went live, with very few exceptions. As far as I know, the only pets you can't battle with are balloons, the guild herald and page, the argent squire/gruntling (what could go wrong with press coverage that the game had us training children to fight to the death...), the Sky Lantern, and two of the four kite pets. The page, herald and argent pets all do something in addition to being pets- they act as vendors, your personal bank, etc., so they do have a purpose besides being vanity items. So really the only purely cosmetic pets are the one lantern, two kites, and however many balloons. I think that those are really just meant to be toys, but use the pet system for convenience.
If you don't want the 8-9 non-battle pets, then just collect the 570+ that are battle pets.

Vanity pets as just things that follow you around looking cute are a feature in a lot of MMOs. Depending on how they are acquired it can be a bit of a brag, or just something cute. They can make your RP more fun, or just be a great accessory. A floating skull following around your Warlock, a plagued bird or dragon flying behind your undead, a little tree or flower scampering around after your druid...you get the idea :)

there are some non-battle pets such as the balloons. Somewhere around 95% (just guessing) of pets are battle now.
