Trading post pets

I want to preface this by saying I am super grateful for the trading post and I love pippin as much as the next pet collector HOWEVER

I am a little disappointed to see another recolour 2 months in a row.

When the trading post was announced I was really excited for the no longer obtainable pets to have a chance to become collectable again. And there is a LOT of pets that fit this category as well as pets that were never made available to US/OCE realms but were available elsewhere (which has always felt a tad unfair.)

Specifically I am talking about all the old and now retired RAF pets, so pets like:

  • golden pig
  • zipao tiger
  • jade tiger etc

pets never made available in the us/oce such as:

  • gurky
  • murki
  • essence of competition
  • tiny green dragon and tiny red dragon
  • poley etc

pets with now long expired promos/conditions and old purchasables such as:

  • vampiric batling
  • spirit of competition (blizz always said this would come back but it did not)
  • mr. chilly
  • gryphon hatchling etc

Would be amazing to see these previously limited or non available pets become collectable again and the trading post seems like a great way to do this. I would much rather this than the reskins we have been getting (panda monk was great- I already had that one unfortunately for me but more along these lines is great.)
My thinking on this is that there is a bunch of old now unobtainable pets that people would love to get their hands on rather than releasing reskins of pets we already have available and able to get in game right now.

I keep hoping that some of these would appear as well.

I doubt you will see anything like that. There may be the occasional new pet, but I suspect most will be reskins.

It’s more likely that what you want will come from Twitch drops. I loathe the idea, but history suggests that is the path they will go. I’m not holding my breath on any of that. I’d guess that some of those pets won’t ever be available.

Some of those pets you mention are tied too Promotional give away in another county and more then likely can’t be given too any of the US or EU player base due to set rules from the promotion…
