I think it will be a good trophy for hunter keep skull tag after taming boss.... Hope blizzard bring back this feature.

As nice as it is, I understand why it was removed. It was a pvp problem, if I recall, because if a pet is attacking, the player defending doesn't know what level that pet is and puts the hunter at an advantage, which is a no no.

...They could just look at the hunter's level? I mean, it's not like there's gonna be a lot of options about what level the pet is, and if it's 49 and you're 41, you're hosed regardless of you knowing its level.

But eh. Silly reason, but it's Blizz's reason I guess.

That's implying the hunter is even close enough to them, of course. It's the only reason I'd see them removing it.

I do understand why they wouldn't want pets running around with the boss/skull tag, but it would be neat to be able to keep the silver dragon/rare portrait on pets that were rare before taming.

Wasn't this the case in Vanilla or BC? I cant remember though...

Now THAT I could see being a replacement. Like a little...mini trophy.

Took me an hour to get, 400g in repairs and a shammy friend helped. I would have loved that he kept it. But alas. Blizzard had other idea in mind for him.

Actually he still is a dungeon/raid boss. They haven't moved him and he still had his skull when I went in. If it were the reason you stated, then all raid tamed pets would've kept their skulls, but they don't.
