Granted some people are, but to go out and say "we don't deserve anything anymore" and "I hope blizz scraps this idea" is really unfair.

I think the pets suck. I'll tame the spirit beasts because I have a competition with a friend of mine over who can get them first and I like the challenge of it but that's it. Two of my best friends in the world do graphic work so I know the people at Blizzard do work hard in what they do, but it does not mean I have to like everything or be grateful for everything they throw our way.

The whole point of this thread was for people who were disappointed in the new rares to vent and complain a bit and we can't even get that. People just want to rush to the defense of Blizz and no one seems to have the right to complain or express disappointment. Why can't we be disappointed? Why can't we think these palette swaps of existing models should have been something else? From what I've seen the biggest problem people have is that they think there should have been a greater variety of pet families used in this experiment.

Come on Blizz, would a molten Shale Spider have been that difficult? Or any other beast that doesn't have thirty different skins already, like spiders do?

Exactly. We know they can do better and then some.

And spiders? I hate them!!

What we're upset about is all the entitleist attitudes that keep springing up demanding that we get all sorts of shiny new pets handed to us on a silver platter because they interpreted some wording different than it was meant.

Again, to repeat myself, there's a huge difference between expressing disappointment in a civilized manner and whining and crying because things didn't go your way.
