Hi! This is probably the biggest who cares issue. But do you think there will be a way to get the CE pets in Classic? There’s not going to be a CE or anything to buy, it’s included for free with WoW retail, yeah? Did they ever address that?
It was asked about pets if you had the original Vanilla CE on retail and they said don’t count on that transferring to Classic.
It wasn’t ever addressed about if there would be a way to obtain them in Classic.

Activision loves that cash shop money so count on them to put them in said shop.
I don’t think there’s been a single indication of a cash shop for Classic yet. If they do I think people will riot. These classic nerds are testy.

I highly doubt they would add a way to obtain them, BECAUSE they are from the CE. It would devalue them if they just started handing them out for an achievement/money.
I.E They wouldn’t be much of a collector’s item if it was given out now.

I think that if Blizzard doesn’t allow original CE owners to have their pets, there should be a new CE. I would prefer not because everyone and their mother will have it
I don’t disagree with you. But I don’t think that the original owners of the CE can get them in classic either. So they’re just resources not doing anything.
Like I said, it’s not a big deal either way. I was just curious.
Would prefer if they stayed in the modern game.

It is a big deal because I’d like to have my Mini Diablo with my priest, as I did in vanilla.
Multiple blue posts have made it pretty clear that is unlikely to happen unless they offer those pets in another manner for Classic, though.
Those blue posts were opinions, and they don’t attend dev meetings, as you point out when blue posts go against what you don’t agree with.
I’m sure the devs are working themselves up in quite a lather trying to sort this one out.

You ignore the fact that that particular blue explicitly stated that when he used the term “we” (which he did in those posts), he was speaking for the Wow team and from personal opinion.
You can see that if you go back and read those posts. Since I know you won’t, here are some of them:
And since he DOESN’T KNOW what they’ll announce, the statement is pretty much useless.
While he did not say “never”, he made it pretty clear what their position was and that their “philosophy is pretty rock solid”.
He made it pretty clear that the CE pets would not likely carry over to Classic.
If not having those CE pets is a deal breaker for you, I’m sure that Classic will somehow manage to survive without you.
I think this was the key point.
Edit: geeze I’m not sure how to keep posts in their original format…from mobile. The quote is from a BLUE
Since the post was made by someone who doesn’t attend dev meeting and admittedly doesn’t know WHAT is going to be announced, I’d say you’re wrong.
It’s a gray area IMO. You could put out a Classic CE but then everyone and their mother will buy it, making it less rare.
So then if it’s less rare, how special is it really?
If you don’t get the CE pets at all, then Classic isn’t “authentic”.
The point of not having items cross games is from what you do from THAT point forward. Nobody bought the CE 15 years ago and thought “I’m gonna buy this because 15 years from now classic will be out”.
Assume they’re completely separate, unless something states otherwise.
Ok then how do I get my Mini Diablo?
