Please reconsider your stance on retail/classic reward linking

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

No offense, but how is this a giant ‘maybe’?

This also could be an exception where we somehow grant them for original CE owners. No idea. Interesting thing to think about though. I’ll mention it though that you guys are asking about the original CE pets for original CE owners.

^^ that’s how

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

Murky would be a firm no.

Not very “authentic” then

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

meh, like i said above a few times, a case could be made for the CE but not something in game like Murky

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

Welp, I can’t post links, so here are the filenames of two Imgur images I found and uploaded of my “authentic experience”.

I found a ton more, but just posting these two. I also found “Battlegrounds are now available”, Reginald Windsor, and so many more.

Maybe the mods can embed these as actual images?

I’m not trying to take anything away from anyone.

Anyone who purchased the original RETAIL CE will still have those CE pets–IN RETAIL, where they purchased them.

That CE which they purchased was a RETAIL CE, NOT a classic CE. It was for the version of WoW that has evolved into BFA.

I really hope you can enjoy classic without those pets, since even according to Blizzard, it is “less than likely” that you will have your RETAIL CE pets in Classic.

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

And I’ll say it again, that won’t be an “authentic experience”.

Ah, yes. The old Jim Carrey “So you’re telling me there’s a chance. YEAH!”

I see you are still cherry picking only tat which supports your agenda and ignoring the rest of that post and the later post by that same Blue.

This is something interesting but nothing decided or concrete on it.

I would try to seperate in your mind retail and classic. Something you buy on retail shouldn’t give you something in Classic, or vice versa. The philosophy is pretty rock solid that they are separate gameplay wise. If you obtained the original CE pets you used those/can still use those in the live game you obtained it for.

It is an interesting thought though, that to some that did have it, that was a part of their classic experience. It’s likely we won’t implement something that ties into the existing things you own on the live game, but maybe reoffer them since Classic is it’s own thing. Before the fury of that statement sinks in, I’m not saying that will happen at all (there literally hasn’t even been a discussion of it), just sharing my thoughts on a solution to that problem that I could see.

This also could be an exception where we somehow grant them for original CE owners. No idea. Interesting thing to think about though. I’ll mention it though that you guys are asking about the original CE pets for original CE owners.

or did you simply choose to ignore it since it does not with with your agenda?

Did you completely miss this later post in which that same blue responds directly to you and your continued posting of that cherry picked snippet:

No, it really doesn’t. Blizzard said they could make an EXCEPTION.

Honestly, I would have the expectation that you won’t get them in Classic just because you already own them. That license was to have them in the current game, which you still do.

I can’t 100% say it will or won’t but it’s less than likely, meaning it’s not really something to argue about on the forums.

Assume Retail and Classic are two separate games entirely (apart from the sub granting access to both) unless we announce otherwise.

Or did you simply choose to ignore that entire post since it did not fit with your agenda?

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

For the 1000th time, I didn’t ignore it, that quote doesn’t reference the CE pets specifically.

[Fesz-cenarius]

And I’ll say it again, that won’t be an “authentic experience”.

You have rarely, if ever, in the past shown any interest in an “authentic experience”. You have advocated numerous non vanilla QOL convenience changes.

You have advocated almost anything that those desiring a truer classic experience would oppose.

Why the sudden interest in “authentic experience” when it comes to those CE pets and Murky (which was not even account wide) which just happen to be part of that account wide collections system?

Could it be as simple as those CE pets being transferred to classic could be used as a precedent for further linking of the two games via that account wide collections system since those pets are part of that account wide collections system?

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

Like what? Oh because a year ago when even the devs didn’t know exactly what it wanted to be I suggested changes?

Sit down, bud.

Enough with this. Just stop.

Find my posts where I said I advocated:
Mog (nope, opposed it)
Flying (nope, opposed it)
Sharing titles, mounts, non-CE pets (excluding Murky) - (nope, opposed it)

Anything else you’d like to lie about?

[Fesz-cenarius]

For the 1000th time, I didn’t ignore it, that quote doesn’t reference the CE pets specifically.

The second post specifically addresses your continued claim that “Blizzard said they could make an EXCEPTION.” regarding those CE pets.

That second post specifically says “less than likely”.

I really hope you enjoy classic without those CE pets, since it looks like you will not get those RETAIL CE pets in Classic.

If not having those pets keeps you from playing Classic, I doubt you will be missed.

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

Oh, you’re so transparent and bitter because you don’t have the vanilla CE so you need to keep it from people that do.

You lied about my posts. Can’t find a single link to back yourself up.

You don’t have a leg to stand on so you make up some garbage about a “slippery slope” with the CE pets. Just stop, it’s embarrassing.

Clion did the same thing. Turns out - he was wrong too. (where is he btw - he kept saying “you’ll never get rid of me”).

Did I surprise you by seeing through your claims of wanting an “authentic experience”?

Honestly, I would have the expectation that you won’t get them in Classic just because you already own them. That license was to have them in the current game, which you still do.

Enjoy Classic without those CE pets.

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

I see you like to cherry pick your posts as well.

Just stop, dude. It’s truly embarrassing.

What did I cherry pick?

I quoted the entire post, not just a snippet or portion that I could twist to prop up my claim of “so you’re telling me there’s a chance? YEAH!”.

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

I quoted the entire post

But you…didn’t. You posted one half of the conversation.

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

Fesz just don’t waste your breath

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

He must be trying to find posts that back up his claim that I wanted mog, titles, etc.

[Fesz-cenarius]

I quoted the entire post

But you…didn’t. You posted one half of the conversation.

I did quote Ysithien’s entire post.

If you insist on the other half of the conversation, here ya go:

No, it really doesn’t. Blizzard said they could make an EXCEPTION.

The other half of that conversation was your continued claims that “blizzard said they could make an exception” which Ysithiens pretty much specifically shot down in flames.

[Starman-zangarmarsh (Starman)]

Hmmm, no he didn’t.

Fact: no decision has been made yet.
Fact: it’s still a possibility.

You neglect to post that. I wonder why.
