We won't be able to see Hunter pets anymore on profiles? That's a huge bummer.

It's kinda strange such a big company can't handle that kinda stuff. I guess they weren't getting a lot of site traffic to those areas or something. Sucks for newer players who aren't familiar with all the fan sites.

LOL these things where the only things I ACTUALLY used the armory for while not remove the whole fricking armory while they are at it >_> now I have to rely on a whole scala of external sites what a joke.

How else am I going to know which mounts I need. :C

I'm amazed that the 'pets and mounts' section gets very little traffic. I would have thought that lots of people would have found it very useful for tracking their collections and curiously browsing other people's, and indeed, that's the general impression I have received from the reaction posts to this news. I'm also surprised that they would be directing traffic to other websites instead of their own; I suppose they really must feel that these sections are not worth maintaining to do this, and something I find very surprising. It's a real shame.

Exactly! I use the mounts section often to see what I want to go after next. Other that that I check the main page to make sure I'm not missing any enchants/gems/tinker, and the achievements. But mostly the mounts. Any suggestions for a good site to track what you have vs. what you need for mounts?

We hope to have Armory imports for your Warcraft Mounts collections in the future, but it's not available yet. Sounds like it should be a higher priority now

[SpiritBinder]

That's a shame, to be honest, I can understand about the mini-pets now that they are adding up to 1000, that's a lot of data.
But from what I know of the mounts section was quite popular, and they didn't even implement it that long ago... shame really.

This is a real shame. I use the armory constantly!! Check item level, which toons have which reputation and how much. So would that basically mean the armory on their app won't show this stuff either?
How could such important stats NOT get traffic? That makes no sense.

[Castile]

What!! The only bit I use is the mounts bit lol!! How else can I see what I need next or feel good when I have stuff other stupidly lucky ppl don't (yes epeen is a bad reason but meh - spirit knows what I'm talking about )

And the pets bit. I have no idea whats out there without trawling through warcraft pets.

At least they gave Petopia a plug.
