Sneak Peek: Guardian Cub Tradable Pet

[Keristrasza]

I love the sudden out cry of "Legal gold selling" this is the same shit people were doing with the Trading Card creatures. Buy a pack for $7.99-$9.95 (Depending on location) get a mount, sell it on the AH for 75,000g. Guess what? That means I just basically bought 75k for roughly $10. It's no difference, so please use a little common sense before joining the flame-wagon.

10 euro --> 20.000 gold.It's better than goldseller's price.

good luck getting 20k gold for the pet, you might get in the 3-5k range, but never 20k so 10 bucks for 3-5k meh, not worth it too me, I would just like if I didnt want to trade it away that I could give it to my other characters vs having to spend more to get it for them.

[Vykrn]

I don't get it. If this is supposed to be something for pet collectors, wouldn't they just shell out the 10 bucks for it? As opposed to thousands of in-game coin? I can only assume, if history is any indication, that a lot of people will be buying this thing with hopes of in-game riches. The supply will be high initially, then it'll wane and maybe then the price might be worth it. just don't think it'll play out the way Blizz ia thinking it will.

The way Blizz expect it to work out is exactly what you just said, loads will buy it hoping to make some easy gold....that's it, that's the only thing they care about.

[Repellerar]

TCG cards are not the same thing, since there is no guarantee that you will get an in-game item out of a pack.

[Dexiefy]

FLASHNEWS FROM BLIZZARD "You can now buy gold! well sort of... But as long as you buy it from us its fine!" This is fucking rediculous... Blizz is falling lower and lower with this game... Obviously this move is mostly influenced by fagtivision and faggotick but still its blizz who loses respect in my eyes... Keep it on blizz and soon i will never buy any of your games no matter how good they might be. You are turning into pieces of s*** which i despise, nothing else...

[Suedomsa]

I never understood why people would buy tcg mounts either, i guess its just me and im content with having a couple mounts.

[Frolk]

After 1month it will sell for max 500g, so it wont be worth it for more than max 2weeks

[Suedomsa]

People are complaining about a stupid pet, its not gear.

But here's the difference....there is absolutely no guarantee you will get a mount or mini-pet from a pack. This is guaranteed. there is no chance involved. It's not rare. Anyone can buy it then sell it. That's why it is exactly like gold selling.

[Suedomsa]

People actually bought and sold tcg mounts? I fear for some people.

[Alayea]

Either I drank too much hot chocolate, or my tummy is having butterflies at the thought of a purchasable, tradable pet from the Blizzard store. :S

It doesn't matter if they might have a chance or not. It's the same thing. You can try to argue this chance nonsense all you want but it's the same.

Let ToR adopt this same practice and see what kind of rage this causes. This is pay to win. Sell the pet enough times and you can afford anything you like on the AH.

WoW gold is selling for 9$ for 10k, so 10$ for a pet and sell it for anything above 10k and you are golden and getting more bang for your buck without the ban.

[Venteus]

Yes, it is indirectly gold selling, but so is TCG. Fact of the matter is your in-game wealth can't get you much on WoW. The only significantly costly perks are purely aesthetic. No beef, I support this update.

[uzy]

I see people selling game time in trade chat for 5-6k per month so these will go for about ~4k? If people want to spend $10 to get ~4k let em do it. Besides what else requires you to have thousands of gold besides mounts, BoE gear, and maxing professions. As long as they don't sell gear in the blizzard store I'll keep playing or until i get bored =P.

[Bribblebrab]

the sperg begins

[Suedomsa]

Ill be the first wanting to buy the pet for 50 copper on my realm, and that will be my only serious offer.
