The Consolation Corner
We had contemplated letting the Moderator account make this, but people pointed out that it was time we take things into our own hands. This thread is located in pet discussion due to the fact that the stories here will generally not include the pets actually being tamed, due to the nature of the thread. Much like the magic pets thread, this is not a place to relate how you tamed your pet, but instead a place to vent your frustrations about why you didn't.
This thread is not only for the 4.2 rares, though you are of course welcome to vent about them here as well. This is, instead, a place for venting about all rares (and, should you really want, other types of griefing).
In fact, this thread will probably be much like the rant thread of pets. And, as I'm sure you can tell by the name, we will try our best to console you over your losses. Some of you may just want to get the pain off your chest, some of you may want a shoulder to cry on. Either way, we're here for you!
Because this thread is so similar to the rant thread in basic idea, I am going to snatch the rules off that thread and dump them here as well, though they will be somewhat edited to fit this specific thread and new rules may have to be made for this thread in particular. If anyone has a problem with this, please PM me and I will talk to Mania about making completely different (yet similar) rules specifically for this thread.
The Rules of the Consolation Corner:
Don't argue. This is a thread for sharing frustrations, not for debate.
Don't derail. Though we can often get off track while discussing things, especially when we're discussing thing we're passionate about, please remember what this thread is for. Discussions not having to do with the topic of the thread should be moved over to PMs.
Don't rant about people or situations on this forum. (If you need to do that, feel free to PM me. I can always listen to a good rant.)
Hopefully this rule won't be too necessary, but remember not to blame the hunter community as a whole! Of course, this also includes blaming whole guild or servers. Remember: it is the individual who has caused you pain and, no matter how many individuals seem to do it, there's always someone out there who'd rather help you than hurt you! And, as much as we might hate the other faction and want to crush them all into the ground, remember that there are also people on that side who'd help you if given the chance!
Don't name and shame.
I replaced the last rule of the Rant thread with a general forum rule. I think it'll be good to have that reminder sitting there. Of course, PMing me about rants is perfectly fine. I'd like to assume that there are a number of people who'd be fine with being PMed about rants, but I don't want to be rude.
Anyway, have at it guys. Let's start filling up these pages with venting and ranting and start getting the board willed with other things instead!
If there is anything you believe needs to be changed about this thread, please feel free to PM me about it.(: Also, expect this post to get edited a lot. It's a work-in-progress!

The Hunter community is dwindling into this heaping pile of greed and bullshit and I'm not even sure what to even say about it.

Edit 2: I'm sure you read my initial post then read my edit and that's why you edited yours as well. In which case, I want to say sorry for getting snippy.

Re: The Consolation Corner
I'm still sad for having seen Anthriss killed twice within a few hours the other day. It's very difficult when one of your friends is doing the griefing and is ultimately responsible for the death. >_< I can't even yell at him, cause that wouldn't do any good or change anything. He's not a bad person; he's helped with pet stuff before. He's just an equal opportunity griefer, regardless of faction, class, or guild.
At least Anthriss forgave me for my inaction; he wouldn't've let me see him a second time so soon after the first if he was mad.

Kalli;; Glad to see you approve, since you're definitely helped a lot with the making of this thread! And I'm glad that you were forgiven.(: I know it's hard to do something when it's a friend doing the griefing, but I'm glad to see that it apparently all worked out in the end.
Everyone else;; I'll try and respond to as many of the as I can. After all, it is the Consolation Corner. I've missed the first few, and I apologize for that, but until more people frequent this thread I'll do my best to help you all feel better!

... then the Horde group showed up with even MORE people, stole my aggro away, and kicked his spidery butt. /sigh

Re: The Consolation Corner
Meep;; I'm sorry that mage killed Solix after the two of you worked so hard for him to become tameable! I know that it probably seems like hollow advice, but I'd suggest reporting, just like I did for Macha.
Caelan;; Wow, that's always extremely rude of someone to do. Killing a pet because you already have it and don't want someone else to (whoops, there I go making assumptions) is never right. At least you already had the pet, but his actions were still horribly rude.
Just so you all know, I haven't been anywhere near these rares (only lvl 79 /sob), so I'm not the best at offering my condolences about them. I've never really been griefed or had a tame stolen, so my advice will probably come off as hollow. I hope it helps anyway, though.

Re: The Consolation Corner
As for Anthriss....well, I mean, he was still dead twice over, but I still have my friend and Anthriss isn't mad at me....and the hunter who I tried to hook up with the first Anthriss didn't seem mad either. (I was afraid he'd think I raptored him into a trap with my friend, since we're guilded.) x_x Thankfully, he understood!
I can't believe some of these hunters, sigh. Just because you've tamed a pet already, it doesn't give you the right to kill it if others want it.

Re: The Consolation Corner
I'm glad that the other hunter forgave you! It most certainly would have sucked if he had decided you were just being cruel or something.):

Re: The Consolation Corner
This is the same hunter who spit on me in TB because we kept focusing each other, but then I hugged him and got word to him (thanks, Rox! <3) that it was nothing personal, just TB. And now we're good. xD (Seriously, gotta love the hunters who actually use brainbugs on my server. <3)
