Biggest Pet Decision Ever ><

[Nevar]

So I realized lately I missed my stompy devilsaur..I loved that guy so much.. Got him the first day we were able to get devilsaurs. I have my 4 spirit beasts and was going to release Malik my Rak'shiri and say that Shinigami my Gondria was Malik reborn.. When I went to hit the release button on Malik I had big old tears well up in my eyes and I knew I couldnt do it. Now dont throw anything at me please but..I hadnt bonded to my Gondria - Shinigami.. as much as I liked her..I didnt well LOVE her... But Malik is a different story..I couldnt give anyone else up as I love the other 3 to death. So I made the decision..what I felt was the right one.. I let Shinigami go.. I got my stompy friend back and Malik's beautiful emerald eyes still peer out at me from my stable when I go there. Tell me, did I do the wrong thing?

I don't think so at all. Sounds like the Devilsaur meant a lot more to you, and it doesn't matter whether it's a Spirit Beast or not - if you don't click you don't click. ^^

Gondria has been the Spirit Beast that I've encountered the most, and I even have some weird psychic bond with it. However - it's the only one that I can't seem to keep very long. I'm assuredly taming it again once Cataclysm hits, but for now I'm content to let it wander Zul'Drak until I'm ready.

Aww thanks Veph /mucho hugs.. Glad to know I did the right thing

You definately did the right thing. You love your stompasaurus and kitty. Nothing wrong with that.

I also agree that you didn't the right thing. Better to let go of a pet you only 'like' to get a pet you truly love and have a bond with.

I'm brandy-new poster to these forums, and I feel this is a topic that is perfect for a first-post kinda thing. Nevyc (my hunter) started way back as an alt/hobby, but has quickly grown into more of a passion then an alt.

Probably the biggest reason for this shift in priority is: I love how hunters really do bond with their pets, albeit not all pets. This is what I truly appreciate. Just because a pet is special to me doesn't mean it will be special to you, and visa versa. Just because it's ment to be special, doesn't mean it will be.

Although I'm a first-time poster, I've been a frequent reader of these boards, as such I notice much wisdom from Vephriel. Once again she hit the nail on the head.

"...if you don't click, you don't click."

BTW-I love my stompy-devilsaur too. Like you I tamed him the moment I was allowed. I remember finding out that we could, and that wotlk would have motorcycles. Woot! for dinos, bikes, and guns!

Good luck and listen to your gut.
