Well, the guild leader thing kinda messes things up for those that keep up an old guild as their bank.

We had a small but working guild in vanilla. Later on people slowly left for other guilds and only their bank alts and such stayed behind. My alt became the guild leader and I bought guild bank space for my own stuff. At the moment there are few bank alts of people that appear once every few months and then old characters that have not been logged in for several years.

Now, I'm checking on my guild leader alt every week or two, but after this change I think I really should just kick everyone else out of the guild to prevent my own stuff becoming accessible to someone that just happens to log in after a year or so (assuming I havent checked on my alt for 30 days). I would like to keep all the old players in the guild but not sure if I want to risk it. This is where the new system sucks.

Though, alt bank guilds with some random old players probably were not the most important thing in Blizz mind when they implemented this change.

It goes down the roster, so you could always stack any other alts in that guild, so bank alt loses the throne and only bank alt in guild rank #2 can get the promotion, ect.

Otherwise, just log onto yuor bank alt once a month. Doesn't seem hard.

Atleast the Sinister Squashling became BOE was up on mmowned.com for a few days ago actully, so I got to save mine :=)

[Zephh]

30 days only for removal of GM status? Kinda... Not too nice.

There Policys Always been like that....Boo hoo Nobody cares

Pets not being BoP makes sense with the upcoming account wide pet system being released in 5.0. I'm a little surprised they are being tradable (if that's the case) versus being account bound. If so I'm guessing Blizzard is just trying to make as many pets available to as many players as want them for the upcoming pokemon battles.

''You may assume control-'' ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL OF THIS VESSEL.

Not to squash your dreams, but every one that wants these enough to pay 100's for them either has as many as you do, or deleted them because they already have it learned. You still may make a few gold out of it, so it's definitely worth waiting to auction them. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky.

Remember, don't forget to brush AND floss your teeth.

What does this joke mean?

[hazelpersona]

I assumed they were going to unbind the pets because of the pet battles so I saved all my squashlings. I have about ten on my character. I'm glad I did. ^.^ They just did it a lot sooner than I expected.

I mean, most people just run that stuff once and stop until they catch all the rewards.

There used to be a NPC in dlaran that could give deleted pets back, wonder if she will still be there?

I think it just restored the pet spell in your companion page, not the item.

Just gives a reason to masskick all the members in the guild before you take a break, will this make stuffs much better ? prob not.

[Kaldriss]

assuming control....made me think of mass effect...good stuff

[Deleted]

Overall i deleted 39 Sinister Squashlings this year... I wanna kill somebody.

[rebecca191]

Well... darn it. I could have saved a couple of my endless Sinister Squashlings for the alts I was too lazy to trick or treat on. Oh well.

[kerghan]

Wish I had saved some of the 42 squashlings I got during Hallows end >.>

[Eliot123]

Oh jeez, I deleted like 50 Sinister Squashlings a week ago. ._.

[Serissa]

If it were not for the engineering thingy that makes snow balls these pets would not be summonable outside of winter veil anyways, due to requiring a snow ball to summon them in the first place.

What about Children's Week pets? Those are the big time pets since there are a few achievements and it currently takes 5ish years to get them all on one character.
