May I get a link to the Blizzard post regarding character services no longer causing this to happen?
I’m not sure what else has reset, Mechagon Mini toy being wiped even though I have the achievement for collecting them all and Minion of Mayhem title removed are just two things I’ve known that were also affected. Hate to think of what else which was account wide was removed that we haven’t noticed yet.
Which I guess means that they understand that character services -were- causing this to happen.
Yikes, as a big pet collector/battler I’m really glad I got wind of these issues before buying a character transfer. I wanted to move an old alt over to my current main realm while the sale was going on, but I didn’t want to risk messing with all this stuff.
If it’s been confirmed fixed that’s a huge relief. Going to wait a few more days to make sure there aren’t more reports before I go ahead.
I have the EXACT same response. Shaking my head…

Battle pet slots are locked and to unlock them I am supposed to complete achievements that I have completed a long time ago. To try and resolve this problem I initially renamed the WTF, Cache and Interface directories and restarted wow by exiting Wow and the Battlenet screen. That made no difference. I then renamed the World Of Warcraft folder and completely reinstalled the game. This did not fix the problem. I tried accessing the Pet Journal from

Howdy Douglas, this is Tech Specialist Game Master Rxxxxxat your service!
Before I jump into it, I wanted to apologize for you running into this issue as I know that issues of this nature can be frustrating at times, to say the least. 
Unfortunately, while we would love to be able to intervene on this for you and get this fixed up, we here at Customer Support are unfortunately unable to verify or fix issues with mechanics such as this.
Due to this, we only have a few things to advise on getting this worked out.
Try signing into all your toons, this will cause information to trigger on the back end. Once back on the toon you would like to play on try a /reload in the chat box.
If none of that works, or if you happen to come across a bug or any other instance of the game not working correctly, we strongly recommend that you submit a Bug Report through the “Submit a Bug” feature found in your Help Menu. While this does not get you a response of this nature, it does send incredibly important information about your character and the situation to the Development and Quality Assurance Teams to check into further and get them resolved if there is an issue present. =D

I relogged on each of my characters on my active accounts. This didn’t seem to help the problem.

Greetings Douglas,
Before I jump into it, I wanted to apologize for you running into this issue as I know that issues of this nature can be frustrating. We more than most understand how disheartening it can be when you are working hard to get something and a bug gets in the way of achieving your goal.
However, while we understand your issues more than most, we here at Customer Support are not in a place to make changes or fix bugs in the game, that is something only the Development and Quality Assurance teams can do. While we would love to be able to fix issues of this nature, the only thing we can attempt is some raw troubleshooting and if it does not work, forward these findings to the Dev and QA teams to be investigated and hopefully resolved. As much as I wish we could intervene on issues relating to mechanics or events such as this we simply cannot and I sincerely apologize for that.
However, I do understand where you are coming from on this and I will get this forwarded up for you again. Hopefully this can be looked into quickly and fix implemented soon but in the mean time we recommend that you keep an eye on the Forums for a response on the issue or for a hotfix to be pushed as well.

A little late to this thread, but also finding these bugs after using a character service a few days after pre-patch. I was able to fix the not being able to battle by ignoring Audrey’s quest and just training pet battles, that worked. Going to wait and see if there are any fixes in the maintenance before submitting a ticket about the missing pet capacity upgrades.
edit: well… I’m able to find random pvp battles, didn’t try wild pet battles.
Further blue posting in the other thread:
It sounds like everyone should avoid transfers for the time being, since while they can replace the pet portals, the rest of the stuff is still a mystery.
still bugged after today reset
Definitely still bugged, I just did another character transfer and same result. On the plus side, I’m almost done with my list of transfers…yay? Nevermind the $18 I’ve given Blizz for each one…
One additional update, a GM restored my mechagon minis. Since those can be unlocked again via items, they can just send the items themselves.
For anyone that is not getting satisfaction from their tickets, don’t rail too hard on the GMs or CS. They’re probably in an entirely different state (or country) and haven’t gotten any more communication from the devs than we have, which is zero. Make sure to be clear in the ticket that you understand a GM cannot go into the game and fix bugs, and that you have already submitted a bug report. However, they can confirm that you are missing what you say you are missing (via achievements, etc), and they can restore the pet portals, minis, or any other items we find missing. I also provided specific links to the official support article regarding the pet limit, and the customer support thread (linked by Aldones a few posts back), both of which direct us to create tickets, and ultimately none of the GMs gave me any pushback whatsoever.
That said, it’s apparent GMs can not restore titles, grant quest completion, or presumably anything that requires some database update under the hood, so for now that stuff remains at the mercy of the devs. And while I have no doubt the they will fix this bug at some point, with the lack of communication and even miscommunications from CS, I’m definitely losing faith that we’ll see some resolution for those of us impacted after the fact, particularly if the devs see the GMs resending items as “band aid” enough. I’m still holding out hope, but given that possibility, please continue to give us all a heads up if anyone notices anything else missing, however minor it may seem, so we can pursue solutions via tickets if possible.
oof, going to hold off then, thanks for the new reports, I’m too nervous to try until we know it’s 100% fixed 
shame I’ll probably miss the sale then, I don’t see of a way to purchase it in advance and sit on it without doing the transfer immediately
good thing i came across this. was about to transfer a couple of toons to a higher pop server…
i don’t know whether I should be surprised or not that this isn’t a priority to fix since the character services sale is going on.
Okay, I submitted a ticket about the collection capacity, will do a separate one for the mechagon minis afterward. This really makes me wonder what else we haven’t found yet that’s missing/gone.
Can anyone with this issue confirm if you also have an issue with the game wiping your hidden marker for completing old Normal raids? My characters suddenly seem to have had their Normal Lich King, Normal Yogg Saron and Normal deathwing markers wiped, meaning I can not do ICC/Ulduar/Dragon soul on Heroic. I also did transfer a toon from alliance to horde in characters services although that’s not the toon being affected.
When I talked to Chromie to do Time-Walking Legion, I had to do the introductory scenario again even though I should have been able to select I’ve heard this tale before… on the next alt however just to test if I had to do it again, I was able to skip it. I had been making alts for the different mogs from Exile’s Reach starting zone. I’ll check old raids now
Edit: I was able to zone in to ICC 25 as Heroic
Ty for response
still bugged… no blues to tell us the status on the fix
I see this issue first popped up about 2 weeks ago, but up until today Oct 28 I hadn’t run into any problems doing pet battles. Now since the last reset, I can’t even load any pets into their slots (which I unlocked on this character over 6yrs ago) so something definitely broke yesterday.
My husband transferred and faction changed a character on his account a few days after I did. He was able to do everything pet related so I don’t think it’s for sure the character services. Unless he was just a lucky man, haha. But, this is a really annoying and BIG bug that NEEDS to be fixed. We should be getting more than bread crumbs thrown at us in terms of information. If Blizz just comes out and makes the announcement of “Hey yeah, we messed up and broke something, sorry guys… We’re working to fix it.” I think it would at least calm some people but, nah. We’re garbage even though we’re the ones sending them money monthly. :c
Really irritating to me. The collecting and achievements were what I was hoping to work on during pre-patch. They refuse to acknowledge the problem, I couldn’t get any help from the two tickets I put in.
I am no longer sending them money each month. Better things to do. I’ll check back in a few months and see where things are at.
would like to toss in another reply here in the hopes of keeping it active, I’m still waiting to buy a transfer but with these issues I’m going to refrain until we hear more about what’s happening
if there’s any blues who could shed some light on the topic it would be much appreciated!
Want to go ahead and add that while before my pet collection was working I recently have this bug now where I can’t put anything on my team and like others our saying it says I don’t have any of those pre-requisites done. Not sure if this is a common denominator with anyone else but I believe this bug may have effected my account right after I character transferred a character from one account to another (same Bnet). Hopefully this can help narrow down cause?
Edit: I went to pet trainer and relearned pet battles and now I can at least make a team. But I still can’t add caged pets to my account.
Edit #2: Now that I can pet battle I immediately DC as soon as I try. If I mange to log back in before it despawns I’m able to fight it and not DC.
