Starter Pets and Race Change

[Accendor]

What happens with the starter pets once you race change? e.g. as a Void elf you have this void pet that is unavailable to all other races. Does it chance to the corresponding unique hunter pet for other races as well or does it stay the way it is?

Oh yikes, score for Blizzard for sure when people consider paying for a racechange for an arbitrarily exclusive pet.

Sorry, OP, I don't know the answer to your question.

FYI Most starting hunter pets have 'tameable for everyone' versions out in the world. Including the void elf's.

Found the whale. If you wanna make that argument, at least have something comparable.

I am not paying for a race change to GET the pet, I am thinking about NOT buying the the race change because I am to KEEP the pet I already have.

Oh, thank you very much - when I checked the last time (around a year ago or so) it was not possible to tame some (or even most) of them. Perfect, in that case I will probably keep the pet in case I switch races.

Just as an aside, the website Petopia still exists and a great resource if you’re looking for new pets to take and/or keep from a race.

consuming media isn't a "hobby" just saying

Hahahaha. A "whale" spending $20 on something, what a fucking drama queen. I'm sorry you're unemployed pal, things will get better soon.

This is such an inane take I don't even really know how to address it. Playing WoW is the hobby in this instance, going to see a movie is a comparable expense. If you or the other guy above have never spent $20 on something because you personally enjoy it and it puts a smile on your face then I really do feel sorry for you.

it is a hobby as much as personal attacks makes you a dick.

Are you kidding? The amount of people who run around in the gaming "community" trying to police how other people spend their money and accusing them of being a "whale" for spending money on things is ridiculous. I'm sorry if you are offended by the idea that someone might actually call you out for pretending there's some kind of class war going on here. Some people think spending $20 to make their character that they spend hundreds of hours looking at look better is a good idea, some people don't. There's no need to try and guilt trip everyone who sits in the former group out of it just because you're in the latter, and the only reason I can imagine that people would do that is because they're angry about not being able to afford it.

Im just saying its just a game, its a hobby to me, it might be someone else's profession or anything in between and out. but attacking someone personally is a lame move to do.

Welcome to the internet, I guess

[Queen of Hamsters]

I'd race change and IF the pet converts to something different, take it up with Blizzard. Let them know that these arbitrary exclusivity of Allied race hunter starting pets is a shitty move.

But the Void Elf pet can be tamed by non-VE hunters.

The fuck?

"A hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time, not professionally and not for pay."

Some people's hobby is going to the pub. Other's spend money on consuming media.

Also, people calling someone a "whale" over the sum of a race change... LMFAO!

Definitely a whale given how defensive you instantly became. I didn't know I had to be a moron with money just because I have it. I'm not going to start because of your testimony, but your opinion has been noted.

Lol, I'm not even the one paying for a race change mate. It's literally less than the cost of buying a meal. You could race change five characters for less than it costs to buy a cheap pair of running shoes. I'm really sorry about whatever circumstances in life lead you to believe that someone spending $20 of their own money on literally anything makes them a whale. Who hurt you?

Calm down mate. We know the stimulus check gave you more money than you ever had before, but you don't have to strut around like that.

Man, you guys are easily offended. What I'm talking about is the attitude required to spend money on something like this. That attitude is what's called a whale to those with any knowledge. I gather you're incapable of extrapolating from incomplete evidence, but that's how it is.

Be proud of what you are, no need to toss around random baseless insults to make yourself feel better about it.

Calm down dude, go spend that stimulus check

Ah, the non-argument, classic go-to for those without a brain but too little sense to leave a conversation.
