The Rehoming Room

[Lisaara]

Rehomed Magria. Found her on my hunter, found a taker in my channel immediately. She comes out, in nothing but her skivvies, and starts what looks like a successful tame in the making. As soon as she's almost done, an alliance dickhead interrupts the tame, dies (idiot), and she tries to resume her tame, only to realize she doesnt have enough health to survive and FDs. So she heals up, tries the tame again, the same alliance waits until she's low on health, interrupts the tame, dies again (seriously, wtf?), and she AGAIN has to wait because of her health. This happens at least 4 more times. I log on my ally and ask wtf they're doing besides racking up huge repair bills. They claim they are saving it for their friend. I just lol at them and relog back to horde and give my friend a haste pot. Before the alliance can do it again, her tame is finished and they're sitting there spamming /spit and /rude at us. I think the rude/dumb ones were the ones interrupting her tame constantly. Luckily, she got her pretty blue kitty finally.

Someone did that with Deth'tilac once(it ended badly). I flat out told them you cant 'save/reserve' a pet for someone. It's first come first serve, ALWAYS.

Aye, if their friend had seen her first and tried taming her, no big deal, I would've just let him. But MY friend got there first, saw her first (after I saw her of course), and started taming first. Now to see if Ban spawns next. On my server they tend to spawn within 4 hours of each other. They're on separate timers, I know, but this has been happening since Day 1 of their reveal. Haha.

Probably cause they're getting tamed nearly immediately as they spawn.

And yeah. Same here. Someone tried to do that with Skoll, telling me not to take him when we both found him. I was able to summon my friend first before her friend got there. I told her I'd keep my eyes peeled. She was disappointed but she had a timer and had my help the next time around.

I had a fellow Alliance Hunter that -tried- to do the same when I was rehoming a Banthelos. Me, my friend who was taming, and another friend who was also helping rehome had found the bird first. *No* one else was around but us. But as soon as we start setting up to get this tame done, this other alliance shows up and starts shooting the bird whenever we bring it down trying to trap it, (and a few times when it got trapped), the other hunter would end up breaking it, or angering the bird, getting herself and us killed in the process and alot of mess. (Hell, we spent a good 10 minutes kiting this bird around on the *GROUND* taking hits of Moonfire just to try to get it trapped and aggroed onto the correct hunter.) Finally, I whispered them myself and as politely as I could, told them to please stop. That we had found the pet first, and if it wasnt for all the shooting going around, we'd have already had it tamed by now. They gave me a sort of Huffy reply of "Oh Ive been waiting for this bird for weeks, but FINE." and she stormed off....Im sorry, but we were there first. Just because you think you camped it longer doesnt mean you deserve it because technically, you werent here when it spawned, and we were.

After she left, we were able to get it aggroed and trapped correctly just fine (first try after the girl left), and my friend got her Banny.

Edit - And I just figured I would add, this other alliance not once tried to make a legit attempt herself at taming the bird. She'd purposely wait for *us* to lower him to the ground before attempting to Ninja-aggro it. If she had been trying to bring the bird down herself it may have been a totally different story.

The night I got my Magria, my tame was interrupted by an alliance who ran up and aggroed her while my tame was about 2% to completion.
Magria turned on her and she started to tame, and a friend of mine hit Magria and got aggro and he started to tame, sent me a tell to interrupt him, so I aggro Magria and start to tame again, the alliance hits her again, pulls her attention and starts to tame, but dies to something hitting her in the back, then I die from whatever it was that killed her, and then my friend dies from the same aggro lol.

I go back and rez and we find Magria still up on the other side of the Forrest by then by the red portal, but surrounded by aggro, my friend swoops in, kills everything and screams "Go!"
I get the tame, then Magria immediately attacks one of those little fire bug things..and falls over dead... we have no idea what happened, she just.. dies..
we're both "??? wtf ??" so I try rezzing her and up she comes, but we still can't explain why she fell over dead lol.

My daughter who is furious at this point logs into her ally and asked the other hunter wtf their problem was "that blood elf clearly was there first and was about to finish her tame, what gives??" Her reply: "sorry I didn't know there were 'rules' with pets".
My daughter replies "it's not a rule, it's common courtesy" her response "oh".

Over all a very lolable Magria tame.

On a side note: When my daughter tamed magria, she immediately attacked a near-by fire bug and fell over dead again... is that.. a known glitch or do we have poisonous bugs on our realm?

idk..it did it with a friend of mine's anhka....but never once with mags..only her friend...so yeah..i guess so lol

[Atalanta]

Woot, my first rehome! I found Magria on my way to get my Hyjal dailies. Did a /who and there was only one other Hunter in the area. I whispered him, and he was interested. Never questioned me when I told him to get naked. He seems very happy with his new cat! Damn it felt good to help someone get a pet.

[ahnalia]

I love rehoming Anhka and Magria to people who don't know to strip.
You just tell them to get naked and they just do it without asking why lol.
And for some reason, I always pick male blood elves to rehome them too >.>

[Samskeyti]

Rehomed Terrorpene on SWC and Skarr to a very happy nice person on Frostwhisper. Good times!

[Lisaara]

Helped Anj rehome Deth'tilac. Easy as pie. I rooted. They sent in spiders. One two three, tame-a-thon.

[Novikova]

Got to help rehome a Deth. It's a good day for the spider of doom.

[Sarantha]

ANOTHER DAMN GREEN MADEXX spawned in Uldum while I was hunting camel statues. I rehomed him seconds before Deathwing lit the place up. That evil, evil dragon...I will look forward to murdering him in the next patch.

[starkittens]

lol really now sara? just make sure i can help..*mutters* godforsaken overgrown lizard....he breaths harmless silk cloth on us hehe

[Samskeyti]

Tonight after the raid, I found Sambas so whispered a hunter on /who hunter 85. He came and said it was his first rare and he wanted Loque. We found Magria so he got her, he didn't know he had to take armour off, he said he saw her before and she kept killing him. Then, got him Anthriss, and Skarr too. Went to Sholazar, but no rares were up. On the way to Storm Peaks we killed Putridus, then after not finding Skoll, we went to find Arcturis, about 15 mins before servers went down. He picked up Arcturis, we wondered if Gondria was up but she wasn't.
Fun fun! On SWC EU.

While waiting for Karkin and doing random peaks to look for him, I saw Kirix and Skitter up (again). They seem to be up every morning on my server. No hunters were around so I left them alone. Two hours later they were still up and Karkin was up, too. I run over to Karkin (northern point) just to have a nelf-druid killing him as I started taming (makes dead Karkin number 7 for me). But Kirix was still running around, I see a hunter finally entering the molten Front and whisper her if she wants him. She hops over the rocks to the one with windbuff on the end of his path. I pull out my corehound and give her hyteria. The first try he evades the tame, the next hysteria is on cd and Kirix kills her. The third one works out really well and Kirix gets tamed before he can start his cast. She was very happy and thanked me several times for showing her how to tame him, and I was happy to finally have found a home for Kirix.

[Lisaara]

I helped Anj and Jazz rehome another Deth.

[Zhuge]

Whilst looking for Magria for myself and Ankha for my sis, a guildie said Karkin was up Now I had no intention of taming him, but then she said an alliance paladin was trying to kill him I relent and rush over just to see the cutest lil crab owning the said paladin (lol?!).

I abandon Ghostcrawler, who I sadly never bonded with and tame the lil cutie He's so sweet and lethal lol!

Next morning, Magria gives me a heart-attack and now also lives with me :3

Fast forward 6 hours, I log on to check if his (yeah my Magria is a boy xD) sister is up (my sister is giving her a female name ). Banthy gives me another heart-attack (damn you NPC Scan).

I ask in /1 if anyone wants him and I get an immediate invite from one hunter, and a /w from a shammy telling me he's coming o.O I tell the shammy, he drops no loot and I'm rehoming him now, as the hunter arrives. She looks at him and says 'oh thought it was the cat' and leaves group.

The shammy /w me back and says his GF is a hunter whose been camping Banthy on and off. I invite them both and summon I try to explain the tree tame, but she struggles to land on the tree

Then I do something very silly but very kind xD I offer to aggro him down and sacrifice myself if she can trap and tame. We are organising ourselves when the first hunter starts trying to kill Banthy .__. seriously??

She then announces in general how hard he hits - I politely ask her to leave him be as someone is attempting to tame. Ofc on KT, when someone is trying to tame and others see this, its starts a free-for-all -.-" hunters who were afk, not interested etc are now suddenly 'OMG must have if hes cool enough for that other dude to tame' -.-"

A troll hunter (literally lol) attempts to ninja Banthy off me as I pull him down with a dismount, concussive shot and heal from the shammy BF. Banthy owns me and the troll The shammy rez's me and I mount up for a second attempt. This time we get Banthy down into a trap (yay!) and I survived the fall and moonfire. But this silly troll breaks the trap .__." I fire another trap just as she drops dead, and the now frantic and nervous hunter successfully tames. I could see how nervous she was - she was firing traps everywhere bless her, and she moved around as if in a daze.

In the chorus of thank yous and wows from none hunter on-lookers, the troll announces over general 'Meh the bird is rubbish anyway' -.-"

Another afternoon on KT EU!

A massive repair bill, but a VERY happy hunter with shammy BF was worth it

Note to self:- never try and rehome on a Time Lost drake - that too attracted unwanted attention

Aw! Karkin is a cutie and a champ!

Rofl..I would've said. "Oh is that why you were trying to steal it from another hunter and breaking the traps?"

[Kalliope]

Helped Korii tame Solix....while he was naked. Meaning Korii was naked, not Solix....although he was naked too.
