So gold dealers are "Allegedly" offering Hunter taming services

[ReleaseDay]

should report him and get him perma banned, only encouraging the scumbag gold sellers.

This. Also you encourage Blizzard on even more p2w practices.

So a mate of mine in WoW had tamed Degu the red porcupine, now if fellow hunters have gone and found him and spent countless gold on repairs for taming him or brought some mates to blast the shit out of him to tame him you know the challenge.

He tells me just casually, he paid a dealer site x* (X being the amount he told me, was between 40-100 USD) amount of money to go and tame Degu for him.

I get pissed at him saying that was horrible idea spending an ammount on what can be an easy tame with some mates around or guildies to help.

he didnt really care and said it was worth it.

All i gotta say is, There goes the thrill of taming these days, Why waste hours upon hours of searching and waiting for a rare spirit beasts when you can go and see a dealer.

fuck sake

Im sorry if I'll throw a barbed spear straight to your heart OP but welcome to real world where everything can be gained in many ways... both morally correct and incorrect.

[Santti]

I don't see how your accomplishments are diminished by him hiring someone doing it for him.

There is always the chance that Blizzard will get you and ban you without even warning you first if you buy the things that gold dealers sell.

[Greevir]

Maybe Blizzard should sell hunter pets in the Blizz Store. I bet they can make some dough off that!

Just lol....thats just embarrassing. long while ago i was leveling my first alt in pandaria found Degu announced it to a friend he came to tame it while my lvl 86 priest spam healed him never had to pay any repairs or found any challenge in it u mentioned and this was around msv so the friend of mine wasnt 570ilvl but rather 470.

No joke, if you srsly need help taming those you should delete your game, it's nothing hard with them. I just got all 3 of them within 10mins, no help just own skills. Why would you even need help for them?o.O Just don't be stupid.. =D

[Yunru]

Your friend is....weak i say. Geting this pet is very very very easy to get.
The hardest one to tame in wow history was deathilac for me, just after the Beast in UBRS.
And that was mostly due to morons attacking it.

The only problem I see here is where you get emotionally invested with regard to how another person who isn't your wife/husband/child chooses to value and spend their own money.

So, I have to ask: did you feel strongly enough about this to report him to Blizzard? Or did you just come here to pretend that you're really concerned?

I reported it like anything unfair cheaters do

What a great idea. Spend real dollars on giving your account info to one of the sites that are the core of 90%+ of the "hacking" cases, just to tame a red porcupine which would maybe take 40 minutes for the average decent hunter.

[Sunnydruid]

The worst part...you know there is someone who, if they haven't already, will buy that service from the 'gold farmer'

This is why I used to stream, to show people how easy it is to accomplish things with a little bit of guidance..especially on goldmaking. Maybe ill start again.

He payed someone to do a job that he should have done himself.
It is an RPG if you are not willing to overcome an objective or goal then you do not deserve the reward.

Worse though he gave $$$ to scumbag gold/ services sellers. I do not approve of these people, I do not care how much they need the money. They ruin games, especially for those that play within the restraints of the ToS and bottom line push up the cost to play said games since Publisher has to spend money combating these scumbags.

Your friend is selfish and complacent. If he is not willing to play the game within the rules that most other people do then he can fuck off.

Then people bitch why they get hacked a lot!

Yeaaaah... this might come as a surprise, but Blizzard doesn't ban Gold/Service buyers, only the sellers.

[Stacko]

I had a friend just like yours, and I threw him out of my life. You should do the same, they're stupid people.

Most people don't make friendship decisions based on how their friends decide to spend their money. Sounds like you've got some weird priorities.

So he buys WoW, pays for it monthly, and at the same time pay another high amount of money to let someone else play the game for him. He's probably the same kind of person that has bought every single Blizzard Store item, and likely a shitload of realm ransfers and race/faction changes.

Where's the feel of accomplishment if you let other people do your hard work? Isn't that like the main goal with playing a videogame, accomplish something you work for?

No, the point of a videogame is to have fun. People have different ways of achieving that. I just wish that games didn't try to cater to both.

The is absolutely 100% nothing wrong with paying for the taming of a hunter pet (or anything else in WoW for that matter). Sure you can say that it takes the fun out of it, but that's a matter of opinion. For some people, the fun is having something, but not necessarily the process of getting it. If you have the money to do so, why shouldn't you "take a shortcut" and get something done faster? To me it makes logical sense to pay someone to do a job that you don't want to do. I don't want to do fixups around the house, that's why I pay a handyman. I don't want to fix my car, that's why I pay a mechanic. If someone doesn't want to spend hours camping a pet only for a chance to tame it, then they should pay someone to do it for them.
