As I know you are lurking about and being such an awesome dev with listening and overall making us all feel special I wanted to do something to show my appreciation. Just wanted to say thank you for always listening and doing all you can to make us happy. You cant please everyone but you go the extra mile which makes you really awesome. And the little special petopia touches here and there means the world to us sooo I just want to say..

Thanks for everything! It means the world that someone actually cares about us instead of just sitting behind the desk and ignoring every thing we say. Heck really all you could do is just recolor one single pet over and over and over, make it one shotted and drop a 1000g but you dont! You work hard to make amazing rares, that are hard to kill and such a challenge that it makes the pet more special. Which is what I know alot of people were unhappy about with losing the happiness, so making them difficult to tame just makes the bonding more fun. Nothing like dying from your pet over and over again just to have that closeness :lol:

I loves all my pets! And thank you for giving us some of the skins that many people have been begging for and wanting for a very long time (like Skarr!!).

Aye, thank you very much! I was from vanilla, but was too late to enjoy the demons as current content...bringing this kind of challenge in means a lot!

It should be obvious by now, but I'm endlessly appreciative of Noah and everything he does for us. We don't have to get cool stuff all the time, and people can argue that we don't really deserve it(sometimes we don't) - but we get a near-endless stream of awesome pets and little nods to the community. We get stuff we want and ask for, which is frankly amazing in a game this huge.

So, yes. We you Noah. :)

I lack the proper words to express just how wonderful a dev you are, Noah, but I'm going to try anyway.

This community is lucky to have you and your endless patience, creative mind, and razor-sharp wit. You tap directly into what the community is looking for, even when it's collectively incapable of expressing itself. Your ability to find the pearls amongst everything else and get them implemented even better than dreamed for is second to none. Blizzard is also lucky to have you; you're a hell of a spokesman for the dev team, even anonymously, since your work speaks for itself.

Plus two of my babies owe you their lives, so we thank you from the bottom of our spidery little hearts!

I think that the next time we're lucky enough to get rare pets put into the game, Noah deserves to have one named after him! Thanks again, most awesome-est Dev ever!

Chipping in to express my heartfelt gratitude with everyone else here Noah! :D You've done so much for our little community, I wish I had enough hug emoticons to express how happy I am. We're lucky to have someone as awesome as you!
:hug: :hug: :hug:

Wain here from the forums was one of the first people to have direct contact with Noah. You can check out this thread from when he went to Blizzard HQ and met him in person. :)

Noah's nickname comes from the tale of Noah's Ark. He's done so much to save the animals of Azeroth, never leaving any behind, so it just sort of stuck. :D

Ok, that made me laugh. :)

And yes, much gratitude, Noah. If I were undead, you'd have my undying gratitude!

Zombie Bear! :headbang:

I have said it before and will say it again, TY for all the Hunter Love you and the rest of the team has shown us Noah! :hug:

Wayyyy back in the day we could only have 3 pets, but most of us had only 2 pets. 1 was a dps pet(probably a cat) and the 2nd was a tanking pet(probably a bear) 3rd slot was saved to tame beasts that would teach us a new pet ability. For me the cat and bear combo have been staples in my 6+ years of WoW Hunter adventuring, and to have that blue bear would be an awesome way to celebrate that love of vanilla wow pets. He would never leave my 5 pet line up.

Maybe Wain could ask "Noah" what role he had in the whole Ghostwolf/Grimtotem Spirit Guide 7sec pet tame fiasco? That is also a pet that will never leave my stables! :headbang:

:ugeek:

OH ok I know I already posted my thanks and stuffs but I totally forgot to mention another recent thing I am thankful for: bringing back pets beside our ground mounts! Not too long ago I posted in a thread that was talking about this and wanting it back, before the PTR was up. And now that's what happens in the PTR!

Since I've only been playing for two years (almost) I never got to see the whole pets beside mounts, but now I do!!! So again, thank you!
