BG honor bonus is this week, too.

I’m honestly glad for that lol, it feels a bit better.
Two ‘meh’ weeks merged together = An ‘alright’ week.
They quite literally already did.
Pet Battle Week already shares a week with another one, which is a rotating PvP one, depending on which one lines up with pet week.
So is your argument “Change both pet battle week and pvp week?” cause that’s kinda crazy.
It’s Battlegrounds this Week, alongside Pet Battles.
All I am asking, is something more than just bonus exp for battle pets.
There’s a quest in Dornogal to battle 5 players and for doing so you get a level 25-boosting pet battle stone.
I want more stuff like that, a quest that tells us to go run a battle pet dungeon, something to do with the content pillar itself than just go grind pets lol.
At least the other pillars get something for doing the content relative to their pillar.
PvP event gives you more honor/conquest. PvE event gives you extra items from bosses.
If I already have a team of 25 pets, and I go do the battle pet content WQs and whatnot, there’s nothing extra to earn since exp is wasted at max level.
Battle pet week does nothing for someone with max level pets.
And that’s lame.
Maybe if there was an exp share item that existed, I’d be more about this weekly event.
But there ain’t.
This is objectively false.
Like, seriously objectively.
Here’s my pet score from dataforazeroth before you think I’m not “serious” about pets.
They add new pets in between pretty much every pet week. I consistently have 10-20 more pets to level each time pet week comes up.
Bonus exp is not useless in the least.
I do think they need to get rid of the pvp pet battle requirement. Maybe make it like:
“Win 5 PvP Pet Battles OR Complete 1 Pet Dungeon OR Catch 10 Wild Battle Pets.” Or such.
The fact the week is centered around pvp pet battles is one of the most annoying things.
But pet exp is not useless and it tells me you don’t actively collect new pets consistently if you think it is.

I do, I just cherry-pick the ones I really want, I don’t want all of them.
Ones that match my mog or race/class or whatever. Or just super rare ones. And I rush them to 25 right away, usually using stones.
Just like mounts, it’s collectibles that never really end (they’ll just add more, forever), I just chase the specific ones I want.
I don’t want to burn myself out.
But I am serious in that folks rely on Super Squirt Week and similar, long before we had battle pet weeks or whenever they started adding weekly events to the game.
And that makes this week feel redundant, because there’s alternatives.
I’d love a quest that says something like “Go complete a Battle Pet Dungeon” and there’s a whole bunch of pets and pet toys to get from a bag as a reward, something like that, that gives me a reason to look forward to this week.
That’s a choice you make. Some of us collect all of them which makes it still very much a relevant buff.
Most people level during pet week for the bonus. But last expansion, they buffed the base exp gain and reduced pet week to 200% from 300%, giving us the same overall buff in pet week, but making leveling easier outside of pet week.
It’s still much more efficient to do it during pet week.
Dear god no, last thing we need is RNG pets from a once-every-3-months weekly.
I 1000% would uninstall wow and not look back if that happened.

Lol I’m still chasing that Ivory Buzzard or whatever from that Barrens quest from the troll lady with the birds, I think you can only attempt that one once a day per account, because it’s a warbound quest.
Correct. However, 1 a day is still much more reasonable than 1 every 3 months lol.
I guess I don’t see it as being too different from holiday-based events, which have RNG on top of being time-based, like getting Ahune’s staff or something like that.
But these would be even more frequent than those events.
And RNG drop % is always something that can be tweaked.
Or maybe even something like Darkmoon Faire.
They should just remove leveling from pet battles. What psychopath is going to actually grind out pet levels in 2025.
If they did that, more people would probably be trying it, won’t lie.
The biggest deterrent is having to level the pets to begin with.
Yeah, I skipped MoP so I never did any pet battles when it was a fresh system. I would do it as a fun little side mini game except that leveling a pet literally takes longer than leveling a character.
what the heck are you talking about - I have over 1500 pets and I constantly need to level new ones. I want the xp bonus.
Why ?
I just don’t see much of a point in leveling some when they’re repeats of others.
Some pets are just god-awful for battles and not worth leveling at all.
Tons of critter pets with Bleat, Chew, and Soothe, not really worth it lol.
There’s no reward for leveling pets to 25 aside from an achievement, and that stops at a mere 75 pets at level 25.
It’s just a lot of work without any real payoff.
I never much liked the pvp pet battles, and it’s faster to do daily quests to earn tokens to buy a level 25 stone. The event is really only worthwhile if lines up with Squirt in the Garrison which is maybe a few times a year?

I dislike pvp pet battles. you’re always up against some stupid OP meme team.
because they all must be level 25 blue quality.

I think something involving the dungeons would be cool, but I think they’re afraid that would remind us that we haven’t gotten any new ones.
I’d really like for some changes to this, but yeah I doubt we’ll see any.
I feel like the battle pet meta has been stale for yearssss.
