It was a bad idea on Blizzard's part to come up with all those cool pets and put efforts into their taming challenge without making them like Ghostcrawler, especially in such a crowded area. I think it was a dumb idea to put so many rares in one crowded place in the first place, because then you mostly rely on the mercy of the players around you rather than your own luck.

I agree. Blizz seriously needs to fix this... :oops:

Ghostcrawler was a bit pointless to make unkillable. He's in an area no one goes to, no on quests in, and most people don't even know exists. Half the server don't know about his area. I agree that making him unkillable was right, but it was pointless for a mob in an area like that. In an area like Firelands, yeah, make them unkillable, but not mobs located in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, I've said my piece. Fair well, tamers. Close this thread, it no longer serves a purpose. Good luck on all future tames and may you not have them ganked from you.

I think the reason ghostcrawler was made that way as such cause he shares the name of ghostcrawler the dev, and I doubt he wants to have his name get pwned by dks and mages, the odd pallidin and warriors, etc etc :lol: besides its not like people havent tried to kill him (I recall the raids to try) but people clued in fast nerfbat=pain. I think nerfbat was more of a hahahaha in your face kinda thing more then anything else. Unfortunately with these rares its so much easier to kill them then it is to tame them. What used to be a quick, land, dismount, trap, tame has become a potentailly mostly kill something to even attempt to tame while it attacks everything near it and have people who really shouldnt have any agro get a tame off. And of course the whole hit tame and have to a certain spec to even get the rare youve been camping for and hope he doesnt get killed. Then whole "hi! Im right in the middle of a big questing zone and unless your blind you wont miss me!". Oh lets not forget the whole.. for the love of dont triple trap unless you have fast reflexes and shoot fast enough, and of course the haste or die or disengage or die. I do enjoy the challenge to tame them but it seems to be way more a challenge to tame then kill. Skarr/karkin needs a nerf bat.
