Oh boy more stuff I already own.
You sure you arent interested in falling apart over this old charity mount? It seems popular.
Dottie is not being used as a Amazon drop its being used as a Twitter drop…
Yeah I have Dottie but not the White Camel this time…so that is new to me.
Eventually some of these drops are going to make almost everyone angry and that’s okay, so many cheered on the Feldrake being given away so they’re just going to have to deal with it like the real Feldrake owners had to. This’ll eventually be a good lesson for everyone on why time-limited and rare items are nice to have around.
The fun is making them look like trolls without actually calling them that. That’s the best trolling.
I’m not sure why you make this reply to me every time I post this in these threads.
My point is to give Blizzard feedback that some of their players are getting nothing from these promotions and that doesn’t help with participation numbers.
Let’s say I didn’t have Amazon Prime since forever. These promotions would not have motivated me to get a membership, which is counterproductive to both Blizzard and Amazon.
They need to throw brand new rewards into the mix.
Yeah, I was skimming due to early morning and only saw the links in my brain-fog. Reading the full OP, I get it now lmao.

Stuff on behalf of charity should never be a twitch drop. This is a bad take on Blizzard part.
Only if they were already thinking twice about the purchase. Very few are going to think, “If I buy this now, I might miss out on getting it for free in 3-5 years.” At $10, these cost less than a breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee. They are an impulse aisle level of purchase.
What if it was stuff created on behalf of Blizzard selling in the shop and for a very limited part of its existence some of the proceeds benefited a charity?

The purpose of dottie was to raise money for make a wish, which it did. Not to make people with no friends feel better about themselves. stop making these threads. not everything needs to be FOMO.

Disagree completely on the Dottie sentiment, and yes I did buy Dottie when it first came out.
It served it’s purpose way back when, there’s no good (keyword here) or justifiable reason that the digital content can’t come back.
It suddenly being available again doesn’t suddenly erase or nullify the good intentions behind its original implementation. It’s been long enough that the digital content hasn’t been available.
Basically, let other people have fun too.
Glad to see more TCG items being added, here’s hoping that all of them (yes, including the Saber mount) become available for more people to get.
What Ion says and what actually happens are two different things. I can imagine Blizz is keeping the Rooster/Kitty in the back pocket for emergency use, so to speak. Just my opinion, but these would be the 2 mounts outside of Longboi to make some players resub, at least in short term numbers.
It might not be for years, but we will see the Spectral Tiger given away at some point. Blizz has already opened Pandora’s Box on these TCG mounts.
I think Dottie was designed by Blizzard. As for giving her away with Twitch Prime yeah I’m not thrilled about it either. It’s true that the intent for the charity was to give money but if Dottie sets a precedent people might be less inclined to buy the pets in the future because they can just get them with Prime. I know the point SHOULD be the donation itself to a cause but some folks just want the pets.
It’s a Twitch Drop isn’t it? You don’t need Prime for that, just watch Streamers with Drops enabled for a set period of time.
If someone rather wait 5-10 years instead of donating to charity, that’s on them.
People who want the pet are gonna buy the pet, not wait years for it to maybe become free.
I didn’t buy it to be super special so why would I not buy another charity pet? They sold it for charity, the charity campaign closed. Others have worked like this. Including the very first thing ever added to the store. People didn’t stop buying charity items.
And if you feel all kinds of upset about it, you can still directly donate to Make a Wish.

I honestly can’t grasp the “Ha, you’re suckers for donating to charity, me and my superior galaxy brain intellect will wait years and years for the non-guaranteed chance it might be free as part of a limited time promotion. I am very smart” thought process

If this were true, people would have stopped buying charity pets back in 2009. Pandaren Monk was the first Make a Wish pet, which stayed on the shop, then was on the shop again and then went onto the Trading Post.
Did anyone try to get on their morality soapbox back then or months ago? Did anyone stop buying charity pets after the Pandaren Monk stayed on the shop after the charity event?
The answer is no.
All of this bs from the OP is exactly that: bs.

I bought Dottie when it was a charity pet.
If other people get it free now, good? It’s cute. I supported a charity at the time and now everyone gets it if they want it. That’s a win-win in my books.
