Yeah, so it happened to me.

I'm wandering about questing for money on my shaman. Nothing fancy OMG THERE'S LOQUE OMGWTFBBQZOR111

Here's the screenshots of how it went. Just refer to my chat log to see how it unfolds.

ARRGH NERD RAAAAGE.

Oh man...well...that'd be one for the ignore list I suppose.

ROFLMAO

Wow. That hunter is so stupid. Maybe another hunter wanted to tame him??
See what happen when you're too nice?

/facepalm

Man...first time I looked at those I thought somebody else came along and killed it during the tame.

Then I re-read th enames and...the HUNTER did it? Srsly? couldn't take like thirty seconds to swap to BM? -_-

I would be raging so much if i was a hunter at that time, and that guy beat me to the party invite...I'd probably cry because i spent 6 months (of quit time) camping him every 6-8 hours everyday for everyweek during the 6 months. I flew around a few times, waiting at each spawn point for 5-10 minutes and didn't see any sign of Loque, King Krush or Aotona. I only really logged on in that 6 month break to try and get Loque and talk to friends, i never even spent more than 30 minutes looking for him everyday which is probably my downfall but you would of thought that you would have run into 1 of the rares...

Yeah, true facts. I was in such a tizzy. Felt like shouting at him as I stood there, him meleeing it to death. I logged off soon after, and during this thing no other hunter whispered me, I'm SO hoping noone else camping him was on.

I would've put /slap in a macro and just spammed it on him.

That was seriously one of the most retarded things I've ever seen a hunter do in-game. >c

How...how...how can you kill Loque >.< I havent even gotten to the level to tame him and im raging >.<

/soothe ryno there there it will all be ok ....
hes will become more of a nab then you can pwn him later it will be ok

/headdesk
Why? Why not FD? Why not run? WHY KILL IT?!
/headdesk

...yep. Another hunter who was just after the achievement of killing Loque. It's sad, but they do exist
And if he wasn't BM, chances are he was going to run the line "I can't afford dual-spec" past you.

I'm a level away on Kas from taming him, and I'm hoping and praying I don't encounter someone like this guy.

oh good grief...another hunter who needs to reroll to DK where mindless killing is appreciated.

Could someone please explain to me what's so bad about this?

If nobody tamed Loque, he would have despawned anyway, right?
No matter if killed or tamed or despawned, he will respawn, right?
The people involved were all not able or not interested to tame Loque, right?
No other hunter wanted to tame Loque at this time, even when asked, right?
So why all the fuss?

But then, I never understood the whole spirit beast stuff anyway...

Hunters get angry at the idea of tamable rarespawns being killed, and having a hunter do it him/herself is just adding insult to injury.
Add on that Spirit Beasts are extra-special rarespawns, and you have frothing rabid hunters in no time.
That's my take on it, anyway.

For me, the fuss is more or less because it takes like...no time at all to switch to your off-spec. It's possible this guy never DID dual-spec, but most hunters do these days, especially if they're into raiding. And if this guy was looking for Loque--since he responded to Ryno's call--he should've been specced for it.

It would have been easy to just swap to BM, drink up to refill your mana, and then tame Loque'nahak. But no--the guy had to be lazy and destroy this super-rare beast that somebody else probably would have wanted.

~VelkynKarma

Probably... Maybe... Might be...

Sorry, I still don't get it.

No other hunter had responded to the call. Maybe that guy didn't know about spirit beasts being tameable only for BM specced hunters. You'd be surprised how many people are not aware of their chosen classes abilities.
I didn't dual specc either for a long time as I saw no sense in spending 1000 gold in a second skilltree that would make me a damage dealer instead of a damage dealer. Just to be able to tame exotics wasn't reason enough. And right now, I think the 1000 GP wasted, as I still stick to my three favorite pets, polar bear, lynx and wolf. I was never interested in spirit beasts.

I can understand that people who actually want to tame Loque make a face when hearing this. But even if you played on the same realm, which most of you guys don't, you weren't there, obviously, to claim the tame. I never really cared about what happened on other realms. The only time I ever was pissed about what some other guy did was when we were preparing an event for the opening of Anh Quiraj, as a guild anounced that they were ready to go. And some idiot from england transferred to our realm, unceremoniously opened Anh Quiraj, took the mount and transferred back home a month later. Thank you very much. As I play on an RP realm, we had not only one hell of an event destroyed, were already over 200 players had said to come, there was a guild that had all there efforts wiped out as the doors were open now. That pissed a lot of people off.

But the killing of a rare spawn that will be respawning when no one was there who actually suffered a loss? Nope, I still don't get it.

It is the idea that right there was a spirit beast that is hard to get and the hunter had the perfect chance to tame him and yet he messed up and killed him instead. The problem is that many many hunters would have loved to been in his spot for the tame. Some hunters spend days/weeks of camping or searching to get a spirit beast, so it makes us sad to see such a thing happen >.<

I still don't get it but meh... Ignore me.

Did you stop to maybe think that maybe the other Hunter may allready have Loque tamed.. I will have to side with Karathyriel on this.. Since neither wanted to tame Loque and no other's in Shalozar did at that time.. I would have done the same thing. I have Killed Loque myself.. All I need for the Frostbitten achiev is Aotona and Icehorn.. I have tamed Loque and Skoll and Arcturis and Ghondria... And since Blizz has either not wanted to expand our slots or not care for us Hunters much anymore.. I have slowly gotten rid of a few of the Spirit Beasts... Loque and Ghondria went first; once I had tamed both the Spirit of Koosu and the Spirit of Atha... Two slots I may never get back; I will never get rid of those two.. I have a wolf and Skoll and Pitch... No more slots.. I wrestle with getting rid of any tamed beast I have, and have asked many a Guild friend to help choose which must go.. Most leave it to me to choose; my pets, my thing.. When they (Blizz) removed the TAG ELITE from our hard won pets... Taming realy doesn't mean anything any more.. They are just DPS now; sad, but true.. And Spirit Beasts just don't have the kill power they need for raids...
