kay, but i have zero pet charms atm
It maybe 2023, Iâm not sure why the year matters, but this is also a mmorpg. Random rare drops being random and rare is part of that genre. As are time sinks and grinds, if someone doesnât like these aspects perhaps the genre isnât right for them.

We had to euthanize our almost 11 year old dog on the 13th. Arfus is the closest model the game has to what he was(a Bernese mountain dog) and I thought it would be a touching honor to my best boy.
Iâve been running 9 toons daily with most being able to the 4 curses(though thereâs not much I can do when the tank drops and I take full aggro).
I do not have Arfus.
I do not have the saddle.
It was more the hope of getting it this year since the pain is still so raw.
Sometimes there are other reasons why us collectors go for stuff. Not always but every now and again you get a story like mine and it just sucks.

Timeless Isle was always going to be engaged with, Blizz tied the legendary cloak to the celestial bosses in the middle, that and it was something that hadnât really been tried yet, so of course players engaged with it, Blizz saw those engagement metrics and just repeat it, just like Mythic+, they see they can get away with just adding minimal dungeons and adding new mechanics and players praise it.

Arfus is adorable and all I wanted from the event, since Iâve given up on the mount because itâs just ugly at this point, and after trying for almost two decades, I simply donât care anymore.
But Iâd rather be leveling my alts that have Dilated Time Capsules right now because I just found out theyâre being converted to vendor trash when 10.2 drops on 10/7.

You realize thatâs raid lock outs right? You do realize that?
Actually, iâm not sure what you mean, no.
Totally agree, Iâve been running it on 8 different toons every day, still no Arfus 
. And You canât even vendor this gear that drops except the weapons. All of itâs useless items that drop for most people. They should have it drop Champion 415 or higher stuff.
To all of you saying âBlizzard isnât making you do anythingâ⌠âYou donât have to have itâ⌠âJust be ok with not getting itâ⌠âyou donât have to do it with all those altsâ⌠etcâŚ
There is always something ingame that YOU want and YOU will do your damnedest to get it. Some of us want this pet and thatâs exactly what weâll do⌠our damnedest to get it ⌠because we WANT it and thatâs the ONLY way we can get it.
Why should WE just give up and be happy without it just because Blizzard makes it nearly impossible to get? To come out with something like Arfus and then gate it behind ridiculously low RNG plus a level gate is extremely inconsiderate (as the OP said) of playersâ time and money invested.
I want this dog. I rescue in real life. There are very few dogs in WoW and I want every freakinâ one of them. Whatâs the point in making something that is so rare ingame to start with even harder to get to the point that you do it every time you can to try to get it???
If I just had 1 arfus for every 25 wands, 50 sinister squashlings, 250 masks and 1,423,676 candies Iâve gotten, Iâd have a whole litter. As someone said above, itâs aggravating, it causes frustration and itâs unnecessary. Especially when people are paying to have FUN.

Real talk, all currency should be BoA. We all have alts, Blizzard knows this. Locking currency has always been kind of dumb to me, but especially so on holiday events of all things.

So according to you, what items if any should be rare drops? Sounding like nothing, that everyone should be able to get everything and that nothing will be prestigious or special.
But seriously though would you want anything to be rare drop rare chance to earn, etc?
Thereâs always next year.
they want it now, what if they arenât playing in a year and they never got the dog they recently found out existed and wanted instantly

We have more control than you think. Everything good or bad that happens in this game is our fault because we are the ones doing the content, if we just stopped participating in any content it would very quickly be removed, the fact they keep using the same model as Timeless Isle is because we keep participating in it.
Which is why I am 90% sure they are going back to a treadmill design next expansion, because even without knowing the numbers anyone who plays this game can see participation is at an all time low and they need that treadmill design back where we had content that players could keep doing.
Yes, Blizzard, canât we just have access to all the rewards for no effort? Canât I just log in and be showered with mounts and toys and transmogs and achievement and titles, just for logging in?
Youâre being unreasonable.

Thatâs a bit dramatic. If you donât like the grind then donât do it. Simple as that.

Yeah, the level of entitlement in that post.

It is kind of depressing to see obsession with completionism carried to the extent that adding things to the game to get is considered âdisrespectfulâ. Its like one of those lovelorn poems about people wishing the person they desire never existed.
For many people grinding out currency and buying everything from a vendor makes it feel less like a game and more like a job. As much as people want to present âput everything on a vendorâ as a perfect solution, it isnât.

Could not agree more, and theyâve said as much many times. I think this is one of the aspects of Torghast that people hated, a scheduled payout off a currency to get the item youâre looking for, itâs like making car payments where you donât get the car until the end.
