I personally haven't checked, but I do know that Blizzard is going to be fixing this again. Everyone should get their tames done as soon as possible and not wait. Use common sense; don't tame the ones that impact gameplay in any way.
I am the guy who posted it on ownedcore this one and the previous AQ40 ones. There are different methods to tame the buffed pets. And i hoped this one would not get posted and just stay underground. And that you guys are trying to make a difference between vanity pets and buffed pets made me laugh. This post from op should have been deleted moment it got posted. Because you guys are getting pets through an exploited method. Gamebreaking or not blizzard have been banning people in the past for visual looks on their pets or characters. And i advice the rest of you guys, just because you tamed a pet for visual looks does not make you be save and outrunning the ban. It's not like you tamed a pet and suddenly it got a nice visual on it.
Maybe you guys are a nice bunch here but there is no need to start talking bad about ownedcore. There we exploit this kind of exploit at it's fullest and i did not post more stuff there about the pets before the fix would have taken only a day as blizzard is forced to fix it before it does more damage to the game.
And like i said on ownedcore: If you want a vanity pet write a letter to blizzard and hope the next patch you will get your vanity pet and not get it through an exploited method.

Blizzard stated to US that using common sense with these pets was needed. We will not be banned or even spoken to by a GM about having a tiger with a chain around its neck. Being badgered by people who you brought here with your link in ownedcore to tame damage-exploit pets, which are the entire reason this fun method always gets fixed, is not something we enjoy. Cheaters that want a one-up ruin something that others might enjoy as a harmless visual benefit. I've had people get very rude when I politely state I won't help them with damage-buffed pets.

So I'll talk about ownedcore as I please.
I doubt that blizzard would appreciate you go around there system to get something that was not intended. Taming/Getting something that was not intended by the makers THROUGH AN EXPLOITED METHOD is an insult to the makers. They don't even allow you to change there logging for your own purpose as you please and you think this is no problem at all getting the visual pet and thinking of getting away with it because YOU think it's ok?
If you want a different looking pet or something use like the rest of the normal people and write in the wow forums in the suggestions thread and don't take matter to your own hands and think it's all ok.
Blizzard has been proven fine with visual-buffed pets, as A) There's never been a case of a GM taking one away and B) They went so far as to INCLUDE an oil-stained wolf with a hunter in one of their guidebooks.
They don't care about it. The only reason Blizzard doesn't let you tame some pets with buffs is sheer programming laziness. They'd have to either incorporate the buff into the model or allow pets with buffs to be tamed in a case-by-case way per mob so they don't have damage-buffed pets included. They're lazy. It won't happen anytime soon.
Going out of your way to get pets with clear damage-exploits to up your DPS is clearly gamebreaking. I know this, you know this, so please don't try to whiteknight it. You're getting the method fixed out of your own selfishness so you can cheat, and no one will like you for it or bringing the same kind of people here to get angry at us when we don't agree.
I am warning your members, you exploited your way to get it. And that is clear as daylight if they intended they would allow it and don't give me the bullcrap programming laziness, i am not buying it.
You go out there get something that is not intended and try to sweet talk it because YOU find it not to be gamebreaking. What if somebody else wants a pet like you? He is forced to try to talk people into it to join him in group to try to get it in an exploited way...
Warn all you like. Anyone with a shred of common sense know who will and won't be banned. Go and cheat if you want, but don't bring it here and don't get angry when we dislike you and won't help you. Good day.
Let it go, Watcher. I'm done arguing with you. I can't explain the differences to you since English doesn't seem to be your primary language, and what's done is done anyway.
Blizzard does have gray areas and they have said this before. Visual (non-game breaking, meaning you can still target the mob and the mobs "exploits" DO-NOT effect the pet or anyones game play) is ok to have, but use at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. Meaning if you think it is game breaking then don't use it because it will get you banned (Like the assholes over at ownedcore. sorry for the language). You are knowingly using these pets to break the game for your own personal gain and therefore you will be banned.
Indeed. They even went as far as to say it would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis to see if the appearance effect was actually being complained about by other players, and whether such complaints were valid.
Shortly before that communique, I posted the following (2 years ago now):
I've made this issue glaringly obvious to Blizzard on every front I could find. And there's every indication that they just don't care at this point, that they have changes coming up soon that will make all this discussion moot.
Guys
Stop responding to watcher
He's a bad troll who just wants responses.
And you know, personally, as a programmer, I'd be excited if someone goes out of their way to get something for vanity only reasons such as a cool collar on a tiger, so more people can see what I did; put a cool collar on a tiger. :3

Responding to trolls in any way only satisfies them, no matter what insults you have for them. That's what they came for.
I still stand by the opinion that buffs should get an additional field in the database to mark them as "cosmetic" or "non-cosmetic". Then a quick check which buffs are used by beasts and check which buff damage or survivability and mark them properly. Then buffs are not removed upon taming if they're marked as "cosmetic".
Qinni thought of a new one and I ran out and tested it. Sha has to be up in the Burlap Trail area. You can toss a trap before the roaming back of furious goats and riders, trap one, and the rest will stop dead in their tracks. Kill off a rider on one of the other goats, distract him over and trap him, the rest of the pack will run off.
Has cool little swirlies, and the appearance persists in death.
Okay, apparently I was just magically lucky and always trapped the leader of the goat pack. If you trap any of the others, they don't stop. The leader isn't always the one in front though...

Wow nice find! I don't like the goats that much but the swirly visual is sweet! ^.^ This whole thing is like an Easter egg hunt! xD
May as well re-post this since we were troll-spammed. 90 ally hunter/ 70 horde pally reporting for duty! I love helping people macro tame their dream pets so feel free to pm me. I am happy to help both factions but please keep in mind that you will need an ally friend to invite me to your server if you are horde asking for an 70+ pet. (my night elf is my only 90.)

If you add me ingame without Pming me here first, please add a note in B.tag telling me what you want. Don’t be shy!
P.S Can anyone tell me for sure if the sha-touched cats keep or lose their buff upon death? I have seen mixed reports on it and I know there are two different tigers with the buff that could skew the results.
All my characters are Alliance.
YOU NO TOUCHY MY PRETTY PETS!
