BoA pets and mounts

The way Wowhead is making it sound is that when you get a companion it's BoA and you can mail it to your main and your main learns it and thats that. The way I had taken it was that by BoA companions and mounts once learned would be usable on all characters on that account (in the server/faction you have). Is my train of thought completely wrong/preposterous?

That's correct. Once learned, mounts and pets will be usable on any character on the account. Of course, there will probably be some exceptions to this rule.

We've never said mounts I don't believe. We have said achievements--which are now accountwide--and pets. I think they are waiting for mounts.

Yeah, the mounts aren't active yet, but they did want to do them too; of course, we don't know yet if it's server or actually account wide heh.

Also Ahelia I know you've never said mounts but I'm just assuming it's going to happen because I'm annoyingly optimistic :]
Also the reason I asked is what they said on the wowheadnews post about the holiday. How if you wanted to do the holiday on an alt and get a different pet and then save it for when pets become BoA then send it to your main so your main can learn it, why would we do that when we can just learn it on our alt and our main will know it too when pets become BoA. That really really confused me.

Account wide pets, does this mean pets from different servers horde/alliance factions ALL share pets?
For your account yes.

It really isn´t like you are thinking. The actual pets that are in your backpack are not turning BOA.. what happens is that once you ´learn´ the pet on one character (click on it in your backpack), it then shows up on every characters ´spell sheet´ tab.
So if you get one of the children´s week pets now. It appears in your backpack. then you click on it and learn it. As of right now, if you then go to that characters pet tab, you will see it listed there and can summon it. But in the future, if you go to ANY of your characters pet tab, that pet will be present on all of them.
You won´t have to mail boa pets or anything like that.

I hope mounts are included. My main has zero luck on getting mounts. Tried everyday every year for during hallows event for mount. 3 alts have it. never got polar bear mount for main 5 alts have it. Try every day for raven mount. been over 100 times no luck sent warrior in 1 time he gets its and I am jealous of my own toon. sharing is good. no sharing of pally or lock mounts that would be wrong big time. In the old days those quests were very hard and expensive for mats. back when 10g was quite a fortune. walked to school in the snow with no shoes. you named a fart because it was a sign you had the chance to have eaten something earlier.

I hope we get account wide mounts. I don't feel like leveling up engineering AGAIN to get a flying machine on my goblin, too.

I wish we have the option to either activate or deactivate this account wide synchronisation. I know some who play their alts to be unknown either though they're sitting on High Warlords on their mains. By merging achievements now they have no escape (they get whispered all the time.) If they are on an alt, what is the chance someone is going to be inspecting a level 30 for achievements?
As to the pets (& mounts if Vahlok get's their way) as long as they're not bank fillers like the baby blizzard bear I see no problems.... I'm interested in what major pet collectors think however? I only have like 12 pets and I'm not attached to any but for those who have farmed some rare pets, do you feel blizz has taken the specialness out of collecting?
Since there are now hundreds of new pets out there to capture, it hasn't changed my thoughts at all. Also, those rares can now be put in cages and sold on the AH, so it's a way to get more gold if you really want it.

Soo question:
With Children's Week going on, when you acquire the pets on your alts, should you learn them or should you not learn them if you plan on having them for your main?

Learn them; when it goes live, your main will know them, but if you are after the Veteran Nanny, you'll still have to wait.

I'd still like account-wide achievments etc, but honestly, one of the hallmarks of my pet collection is that it's all one character. Even Breanni has hers spread out (because it does give you more coverage and more options). Little sad that that's now going out the widow, but not enough to say "NO, NO PROGRESS WHAT SO EVER".
Plus, I'm a pally main. Soloing for mounts? Yep ok whatevs. My poor boyfriend (Mage main) is going to love/practically need this, and for those people it's worth it.
/shrug? Anything and everything I've done is already on my main, that's why they're my main and always will be. But this is great for others, and I do get some added benefits (like getting that bloody Horde Lunar fest lantern a lot easier, *grumble grumble*, and a new tier of account-level achievements to mess with).

I'm a perv I always kill time waiting for zeps by inspecting people's achievements QQ.
If I was to roll an alt I wouldn't want to be judged on past achievements. An impressive achievement I scored on my lock doesn't mean I'm a skilled player on the class my new alt is and I just can't see how some jerks won't look towards this feature as an additional, GS like, judgement platform E.G "
rage rage rage I can't believe you did that when you have a you must have been carried
" etc etc.
I would hate being judged on past achievements while I'm trying hard to learn a new class. I like the judgement free zone which allows me the right to suck and make mistakes on a alt until I do get better and I can't see how allowing achievements viewable on all characters will give me that sort of 'safety zone' (I feel there would be an expectation.)
With regards to this does it mean if I have 12k+ achievements points on my main my alt will also get that or will I have to still grind out achievements on my alt anyway? The Achievements will only be shared after you complete them; and you can still do the achievements on other toons if you want to.
As for the judging thing: That already happens, as people ask for kill achievement for random pugs, so that's not really going to change anything beyond getting more people in since someone with several toons is going to be able to link the kill and show he knows what he is doing.

My question though, is what happens to the multiples? If I have a pet collection on two toons, will I get the extra pets to trade?
