I think that hits the mark perfectly.Slickrock wrote: If it's a non-tameable, kill it.
If it's a tameable non-unique, kill it, unless it's too low for you, and xp and loot is not worth it.
If it's a unique tameable, leave it alone, unless you need it for the achievement.
I'd say unless you need it for the achievement AND just can't live without finishing the whole thing. I for one am having huge amounts of guilt over killing Aotona for Frostbitten the other day. ;___; Not sure if I'll ever be able to kill Loque, who is the last unique rare I need..Slickrock wrote:If it's a unique tameable, leave it alone, unless you need it for the achievement.
As long as no one judges those who don't share that sentiment. I felt a little guilty after killing Arcturis because I thought that maybe someone could have come a couple minutes later to get him. But honestly...how can anyone predict that? And it's not like I went and hocked the rare he dropped. It went to the guild bank gear tab for people who are leveling. The money goes to my alts to help them level, and the furs can be used for crafting. I figure as long as you follow the "law of nature", or at least that's what I like to call it, you use everything you get from an animal kill. Now if I swooped down without asking for hunters to tame it, killed it, and then left everything on its corpse and cackled wildly as I ran into the wilderness, that'd be a bit messed up. But I did my part and everything he dropped is going to either the guild or my alts. I see nothing wrong with using the things I got. And I wouldn't appreciate if someone told me I was rude or inconsiderate for doing what I did, especially because I'm always told I'm one of the nicest people out there. I've sent random people gear or money before because it looked like they were struggling. I help out lowbies with their Seal of Wrynn quest because I know no one else will. I helped someone kill an elite in Shadowmoon Valley while I was farming Netherwing rep, even though I really really wanted to finish my rep, I wanted to help someone else out more. So therefore, I see nothing wrong with helping myself or my guild out every once in a blue moon.Slickrock wrote:Ok, I propose the following:

No arguments there.Rhyela wrote:As long as no one judges those who don't share that sentiment.

Alright, you didn't mention that. Seeing as you said "I just stood there" I assumed you were on the ground. No need to get testy.Gozu wrote:...Sarayana wrote:How do you know she saw you?

Being on a giant yellow dragon 30 feet away from her. That kind of stands out in the basin clearings. I guess maybe she was playing the braille version of WoW, never know.
