This is incredibly stupid. Not only is the reward temporary, but it's also glitchy as f- every time you mount up the tabard graphic disappears.

people always want something.... yeesh
looks like the rep buff doesnt work for guildrep ;/
I hardly think this was one of their "biggest mistakes". That's over exaggerating slightly. No one feels entitled. And I don't think they ever felt pressured to make "better" pets. There are no "better" pets, only different ones. No one likes re-skins.
I don't know why they stopped giving pets for the anniversary events but if I were to take a completely unfounded guess it would be because there is no profit in it.
P.S. I use Baby Blizzard Bear ALL the time, and the penguin on my gnome characters even though I have many more less used/rare ones. They're no more or less used than any other pets as far as I've seen.
Everyone complaining is still going to fork over 16 bucks a month regardless.
I'd nominate this for this cheapest and shittiest content recycling they have ever pulled.
I mean, really?
They don't even have an intern that could have put in 5 minutes to recolor this or an hour to bang out a new design?
Just FYI it's on the in-game calendar. Ends December 3
Oh wow I just realized this tabard is the one the PVP honor contest winners received back in 2005. and yeah I do agree it would have been nice to get a pet, but new pets only go to the pet store now. Don't you guys realize that?
McDonalds serves you a dry, old cheeseburger that's been laying around for a week. McDonalds fan boy says "You're lucky they served you anything!"
But it's a "free" dry, old cheeseburger, so it's ok! (so goes the fanboy logic)
I'd rather Blizzard have not bothered. Oh well, it couldn't have taken 1 programmer more than a few minutes to cobble together, so it's not like Blizz wasted much time on it. You'd think Blizzard would have been more fired up about WoW's 7th Anniversary, but I guess working on an MMO for 7 years has just burned them out.
People gotta complain about something.Patch 4.3 is going to be the biggest content patch released this expansion. THREE 5-man dungeons, an AWESOME raid, the raid-finder which will make that awesome raid accessible to basiclly everyone, darkmoon fair, a bunch of balance fixes... and here people are complaining that they didn't wake up in the morning to find a little monkey in their mailbox.You want a birthday present? 4.3 is coming out in a couple weeks. Happy birthday.
It would be cool to get some kind of pet or something, but oh well. Not a big deal. Apparently to some though it's so horrible what Blizzard did they're cancelling. Makes me laugh a lot.
Wrong. They are not mutually exclusive.
When will you hard-headed and stubborn children get the clue that they have *teams*? Teams! Some teams work on things, some work on others. No TEAM is required to make the stupid tabard this year. One single programmer may have done it. It is the mark of a child with little scope in the world to not understand when things are not mutually exclusive.
To be honest I like the xp gain, I was able to hit one of my alts to 80 much faster! ^_^
