I totally agree. I had Gwyn (my ghostsaber) since I first found out about those guys. Treked all across Azeroth on foot to get him, then had the great joy of FINALLY spawning one... And an Undead killing it. And then me. After that, there was much grave camping and frustration until he finally gave up. And then I got to open bunches of statues again.Palladiamorsdeus wrote:The pet's I have, I have because I wanted them, and not because they were the best. That wolf I have? I've had since 05. That Devilsaur? I've been saying since the first time I got eaten in Un'Goro that I wanted to tame one. My cat was a surprise to me, I just fell in love with her. And I spent a YEAR looking for Loque. *Laughs*
I'll always use what I want to use. Even if there is a 'best pet' come Cata, if I don't like it I won't have one. Although with twenty slots, it's not like it'd kill me.
I had to give up two pets that I loved in favor of new ones once I reached 60. I said goodbye first to the very first pet I had ever tamed, a boring old brown bear who'd been renamed Astrid (from Shiota). Then I tamed Echidna, my (guess what!) chimera. ...I felt the name was justfied.
And then I gave up my hyena Lorcan to tame myself an albino devilsaur, who I named after my hyena.
Those two are ones I'm very much wanting to get back once Cata goes live. I don't regret getting rid of them, but I do miss them.
And just because people think Lorcan the devilsaur is a better all around choice than Gwyn, well. You try fishing when you've got an idiot dinosaur who likes to stand in front of your bobber. Trust me, you'll want the seethrough cat, too.
... Sorry, didn't mean to give my lifestory, there.
