Save up to 50% on a Colorful Selection of Pets

Don't buy them then? They are optional.

Also you don't have to buy all the pets in one go as a bundle you can pick and mix the pets they are all 1/2 price.

You are literally complaining because blizzard are holding a sale for items that have been around 15 years...

Considering we pay ever have to pay the "boxed" game and and expansions and a sub, everything in the shop should be obtainable aswell though activities and I dont mean the FOMO mechanic that is Trading Post

The only pet that's useful and actually worth it there is Lil Ragnaros... All of the rest are cosmetic trash.

I want those pets, but can't afford then even on 50% sale. I hope Blizzard will make more often Twitch drops including that kind of rewards.
For example Wargamining ( World of Tanks ) make much more Twitch drops every month, and they get a lot of audience and promotion that way.

You don't have $5?

With cross realm guilds now being a thing why would you need to transfer realm now? (genuinely curious).

Getting into a consistently active guild feels pretty tough in my 19 years of playing.

Even during peak times right after a new patch it's nearly impossible to find someone to craft gear for you in a timely manner.

The auction house consistently has significantly higher prices for rarer items but items are also significantly harder to sell.

Cross realm and battlegroups makes it so that even if you're on a dead realm you'll get phased in with tons of other players looking for a rare so you don't really get any advantages whatsoever being on a dead realm.

I'm on Kalecgos as Alliance and it's an absolute pain and has been since at least Legion but I sucked it up and kept making characters since that's where all my investment already was.

Considering some of those have been around for 15 years, £5 a year for 17 extra pets in your collection aint that bad tbh.

You are the problem

I won't buy them. Doesn't mean I can't think it's ridiculous that a bunch of cosmetic pixels are being sold for more than the price of an entire retail videogame.

Before MoP.

That is literally not true but ok.

You're right, I've meant the pet battle system.
Still though, were any of those pets "cutesy"? You know, big eyes, fluffy shit? (Not that I mind it at all, I love pets! But there is a point to the argument that the cutesy started somewhere around MoP).

A literal panda pet in vanilla wow, along side many others like pet cats and birds.
Tbc had multiple cutesy pets from various sources including children week. Like a baby observer, turtle, and plainstrider wearing it's egg shell like pants.

Hey good news.
They are. Called the wow token.
You can buy ANYTHING on the shop, your wow sub, and expansions, all by just playing the game!

The panda cub was just a panda cub, it wasn't intentionally made more "cutesy" with big shiny eyes and the like. For me, the change in style overtime is very distinct, and it isn't solely due to graphic quality increase. The pets are drawn differently nowadays. Like, overly big eyes are considered "cute" because of the resemblance to human baby eyes. I don't think it was a "thing" before - animal pets were drawn looking like animal pets, not like animals with cute human features.

Because back in WoW Classic, they had about 20 polygons to make a pet out of. They literally didn't have enough detail to work with to make anything overly cute.

I've heard that argument and I don't buy it. You don't need polygons to make big cute eyes, you can do that with proper textures, and they chose not to. Like the rat - the eyes are small & red on purpose, because people often find red rat eyes hideous.

This is a different can of worms you wouldn't want to open with me.

But fair enough its technically true, what I should had mentioned is getting them playing the game not playing the gold/AH game.
