Is this one of those things, where you want Humar just so YOU know that you have Humar. Never mind that you can go tame Pitch in Sholazar, and get the exact same skin?
She's level 30 (and so is the hunter I got Humar on). We level a bit slow, so it'll be a while before we hit Pitch taming level, and with Cata pretty much right around the corner, it'll be even longer. ( Worgen Rogue and hunter, Goblin shaman, Tauren Paladin... ) She wasn't on at the time, so I was messaging other nearby hunters and asking if they wanted the tame. Granted, no one I whispered showed interest, but I never got the chance to whisper everyone in the area before the DK just came along and slaughtered it.
I know there's that urge to kill a rare, even if its levels below ypu- I've done it on my Druid before. Of course, this was back when I was clueless to just how rare rares -were-. I used to encounter them all the time. Now, if I see a tameable rare, I make it a point to stop and ask the hunters if they want it. Even if no one does, I leave it alone ( Unless it's part of an achievement ). But even after telling the DK no as he ran up, he still killed it. He didn't even loot it, just danced around it a moment and ran off.
And getting Pitch is nowhere near the same as getting Humar. If I were 80, sure, I'd leave Humar to the lower levels, but it still wouldn't feel the same. It's the same concept of people going to tame The Beast as opposed to a different core hound. Now that he doesn't have his boss tag anymore, there's nothing special about him, but I know people still go and get him. :3
