From her listing on twitch…“HazelNuttyGames’s next stream will be Wednesday, November 16”…so she won’t be up and running tomorrow…
How do you know which channel is eligible?

Nooooo, I was betting on Hazel for this!
Yeah bummed she is not on today for this…
So it’ll count if I open the stream, mute the window, minimize it, and do something I actually give a crap about - right?

As a Blizzard fan and WoW player since its release, I am always glad to see active bold strategies to strengthen the community.
Even when it is something that diminishes some personal effort of mine - such was the case when exalted was no longer necessary for unlocking other races.
However, giving away TCG mounts and pets is bewildering, to say the least.
As many players pointed out, TCG mounts did not age well. Their value comes not from their ‘cool looking’ models, but from their rarity. Store mounts are far more intricate and eye catching than “Mottled Drake” and “Fel Drake” tcg mounts.
Yet, tcg mount’s value comes from what it represents: something that stopped being made and we know it will stay that way. “Knew” in this case.
Some may not remember, but there was a time when some TCG pets were supposedly cloned. The price of these pets dropped and there were many signs of this, but Blizzard denied it thoroughly. With time, these pets values returned to normal.
Maybe they were cloned, but that did not matter, because we knew that if that was the case, Blizzard would fix it pronto and work hard towards reestablishing the unique feeling WoW has, amidst many online games, of it being Solid. Things do not break or change radically.
Many players do not appreciate this but feeling comfortable enough to work on something for hours, even days, is trusting WoW’s system and Blizz’s design principles. It is a trust they earned over the record period of good game service they provided.
Hence my confusion with this short-term strategy, that contradicts the relation of trust they built over the years. A store only item or better yet, an exclusive new item would have shown more value to creators. Maybe unearthing old ingame models would have made better homage… Who knows!
I do hope this brings them the results they want and make our community stronger.
But personally, I will be thinking twice before engaging with anything in WoW that requires more than basic effort and commitment, because it is definitely susceptible to change.

+1 stupid move for blizz 
We can only hope this works, even with this i feel like i give those cringelord streamers too much. Ewwwww!!!
Surprised how much vitriol people feel for content creators.
“I don’t like people who help make the game that I enjoy have success by expanding the audience.”
Like I get not enjoying individual creators if you don’t like their style or even just wanting to mute the stream to get the reward and move on, but the mindset of thinking that Blizzard shouldn’t do something that is such an easy and effective win for the health and growth of the game is just being self-defeatist. Especially considering how little effort it takes to get the various rewards if you want them, odds are most people have spent more effort grinding for stuff that they’ve had no intention of ever using, but just to collect it.

What is twitch? Where can I find it in game?
What value? The value it had to Blizzard was that it sold card games, a card game that’s no longer being made.
The artificial value put upon it by collectors has absolutely nothing to do with Blizzard. They get nothing from it.
Now the value for them is in selling the expac.

This is why.
You don’t need a sub to watch content creators on twitch. Subs give you ad-free viewing and access to emotes of that particular creator but you don’t need it just to watch
Has anyone been able to narrow down which streams will trigger this? Is it just anyone streaming Warcraft Retail?
and find one with drops enabled. I picked a random streamer, they’re all random to me, I don’t do twitch normally.

Thanks, I have one on in the background. I guess we’ll see what happens in four hours.
I have mine in background too and it says I am at 12% progress.
Oh, cool. Where do you see a progress bar? In Twitch, or in your battle.net account?
Oh I see it now. I’m at 1%. Thanks!
Edit: I’m at 2% now. This is enthralling.

When you are on a stream click below your portrait and if you are on a sponsored stream you’ll see a progress bar for the appropriate pet.
Currently at 13 percent
