Funny story but so true of hunter: I help my son often in finding pets that he is wanting to tame. While I que for things, I camp for him, etc. I have even left que to grab a pet that popped while I was there. Anyway, my son is, let's just say early teens, to give you a prespective of his age.
He told me he'd love to have the blue or green Madexx. He has the brown but since it was plain, he wanted a different one. Well, I found the red one, abandoned his brown one, and tamed the red for him. I was 'informed' that it looked a lot like the brown one in color and he wanted a different one, so I continued to keep an eye out for a different color. Last Sunday night, I found the blue one! Now, you have to understand, he's not home and I can't locate his authenticator. It was laying on my desk with mine but was gone. I searched his room (as best I could considering he's a young man and tidy is not a priority) and couldn't find it. I'm frantically searching because I just know someone else is going to tame it or worse, kill it! I finally decide to just sign in on his computer since it won't ask me for the authenticator but his computer takes forever to load. At least he was in Org (never know where you're going to find his toon when you sign in....many times it's a ghost since he's big into pvp lol) and I flew through portal and flew out to where I found the blue Madexx. I hadn't realized that in my panic, my husband had flown out there on his pvp hunter and was guarding it from the other faction and hopefully could talk our faction into leaving it for taming. I abandoned his red one and tamed the blue one without a problem.
When my son gets home I'm excited to tell him about his new pet. Without missing a beat, he looks at me and asked me if I'm going to still watch for the green one. I told him I hadn't planned on it that I thought he wanted either the blue or green but didn't know he preferred the green. He told me he wouldn't know which one he preferred until he had them both to find out which one he bonded with best! I completely understood
FYI: His hunter is his only level 85 and he has always loved his hunter so he never plays another toon enough to level it all the way.
