TCG pets and mounts

Community General Discussion

Before anyone calls me a Karen which I really dont care because most of the people that do that will do it in front of a screen and keyboard again I dont care I pay my sub and Im entitled to be upset about some occurences in wow

Now that is over Blizz what are you doing to compensate people that did collect these TCG pets and mounts before you basically flooded the game with them and made them easily accessible to everyone and basically destroying their worth on the AH and ebay?

I am one of those people!!! I bought the TCG packs when they were availble as i have been playing for a while and i spent real money in doing so. I had obtained the Spectral Tiger Cub pet through the packs infact, lets be honest i have every TCG pet and you have basically devalued my pet ( not that i wanted to sell it as I value what i had obtained and its rarity)

So i get you want these pets and mounts accessible to everyone and I dont begrudge that but have the decency of firstly identify the owners of these rare pets and mounts and offer them something like sub time for example for basically destroying the rarity of what they obtained prior

Thank you

Oh dont worry. Swift Spectral Tiger and every other TCG pet and mount is going to be given out for free soon. Its the only way they can think of to keep people playing, if they can entice people to stay subbed in case there is a chance they can get something many people paid thousands of dollars to get and those people will get it for free.

the easiest solution would be to make them slightly different, then call them by the same name with an added name, like swift spectral tigress, or swift spectral tiger recolor.

You got the glory of having the pets n mounts for years.

High risk high reward business. Welcome to economics.

They haven’t devalued your pet at all, especially since you aren’t gonna sell it as you yourself said. If you like a pet/mount/item, then that’s all the worth it has to you.

Also a male Karen is either a Kevin or a Ken, i forget which, so i wouldn’t call you a Karen.

they actually have devalued the tcg pets as I said I am a pet collector and the Tuskarr Kite or called in game Dragon Kite I cant sell at all it used to sell for over 400k gold now I cant even get 150k gold so who is the big loser here?

I’m not going to call you a Karen, or Kevin, but I will suggest that you get over it.

This is the gamble you make when you buy digital goods. The entire system could shut down and you would lose every mount, pet, toy, transmog and expac you have ever purchased.

If this truly bothers you, I would stop purchasing digital items.

I have things I bought from the store that are now available and I’m fine with that. I wanted it and I bought it.

It’s no different than buying something in the store (IRL) and seeing it go on clearance 6 months later.

You made a financial decision to buy items to then flip for a profit and have probably made quite a bit of gold over the years. That’s great. However, flipping things for a profit always comes with a risk. There are no guarantees in the financial world.

Mists of Pandaria came out right when I got my own job. I bought the collectors edition with money from my very first job. I was SO angry when they put the quilen on the store because I felt like I earned the CE myself and it wasn’t fair. I’m way over it now, but as people said that’s the risk of digital goods they can bring them back whenever they desire. I also have owned a Feldrake since WoD.

One post throwaway troll character?

Meh, I like mine better.

You type an awful for someone who “doesn’t care”… Still trying to convince yourself?

They already did: you had access to them years before everyone else.

They’re doing nothing.

No one. We’re all winners here. Congratulations

Nothing.

You and others made the (personally I feel unwise) decision to pay extremely high prices for the cards to get these virtual items, knowing full well they could very well become accessible virtually whenever Blizzard felt like it.

They felt like it now. Sorry if you feel your money was wasted but this was always a possibility.

ebay?
wait…i can buy stuff for the game on ebay?

These items were on physical cards so it was common to sell the cards on services like EBay and the like for a hefty profit.

At the time they went for very high prices due to how rare they were.

15

how did that work? I mean, we’re talking about in game stuff or a physical card game?
I assumed he was upset about in game digital mounts

I wonder what they’re going for now.

Man, to be a fly on the wall to see those scalpers’ faces when that digital mount they were selling for hundreds of dollars is suddenly worth a fraction of that.

There’s a code that you can input in game on the card itself, so you’d get the card and then you can get the code.

Really the card was meaningless outside of the code, that’s what you were paying for.

I did a quick check on EBay on the Spectral Tiger and…it’s going for nearly $7k. It’s kinda nuts.

Well yeah that one since Ion gave people assurances but I see the Shorestrider is still going for 600.

That’s surprising.

holy crap…lol
thanks for the info. I had no idea this was a thing

That is kinda surprising…Maybe I’ll look into getting some of these mounts once the market dies down a bit more. Sure as heck ain’t burning $600 on a mount.

(Really I want the rocket…)
