As far as we know, they’re not even playing a Hunter. Just someone from the peanut gallery who shows up to stir the pot whenever Blizzard does something controversial.

Correct!
glad you finally see the light.
gameplay > fantasy. pet got to go, and blizzard agree.
The pet does not have to go. That’s just your opinion. And it’s something Blizzard has already tried and failed to do before.

Blizzard has failed multiple time to make pet AI work properly and everytime there’s something with platform or jump pet bugs… sometime catastrophically bug…
but once again, blizzard disagree with you. swap BM.
So why should I switch to BM if pet AI is still going to be a buggy mess?

They have no response to this. They just say anything to get what they want.

How about no. I will continue to fight for pets on MM spec. They could make it good if they tried.

You’re just wrong.
Forum crybabies aren’t 2:1. Hold your L.
Okay. I will bite. What argument did I just confirm? That I play 40+ hours each week, and I only raid 3-6 hours on my hunter?
What I don’t understand is why somebody who doesn’t even play MM has any opinion on the spec. I don’t even think this is your main. 400 HKs on your Hunter. 14 pets. LOL

because you like buggy AI apparently.
see you when gallywix tier come out then.
So by your own account your hunter isn’t your main. You also confirmed you hardly do group content which the only
People complaining do solo content.
I do play MM. if you actually understood any of the issues I listed on why these are good changes.
I play all three specs because I play at a ce level which means I play whichever spec is the strongest.
This is my current main. This hunter wasn’t boosted until the end of Season 3 of DF.
For someone trying to take shots you ignored the 2200 arena achievements.
Trust me when I say you don’t play close to the level I do.
I fed a list into ChatGPT. I like what it spit out for the most part.

Thats kinda mean yeah its a bit over dramatic but dont be mean
Sorry, it’s hard to not be mean when the best argument they can throw at you is to guilty-trip you into feeling sorry for them.
No one really necessarily cares what you think, we’re just interacting in an effort to show Blizzard how we think. You’re not special, you’re a medium to convey information to Blizzard.

Where? You have two parses as MM and you parsed a 7 on heroic and 33 on Normal. (slow clap). You have 42 Arena games on your hunter and capped out at 1490 is 2’s (probably carried). You have 400 honorable kills. You haven’t even managed to complete a level 11 Delve or down Zek’vir despite how grossly you outgear the encounters.
You have 200k HK total though, so that makes it pretty clear that you play a lot, but you clearly don’t play MM a lot.
Then you come in here and tell people with years /played on Hunters that they should give up their spec so you can have a new shiny you will never play.
No. I’m not a Mythic raider. I don’t want to be. I’m happy working with my core raid teams to beat the encounters with them. I play the game the way I want to, and I play it a lot. Plus, this hunter has been, and always will be my main. I’ve tried to switch many times since wrath, and nothing else has worked out. If I’m not playing my Hunter, I’m not subbed.
Either way, I’m done with you.
