Comment by DolfanG Blizzard is so frigin' bent on everybody being either a PvP player or a raider that they can't even think to have pet battles separate from those two things. There are already plenty of rewards for raiding and PvP without having the pets as a reward for that as well. Comment by Adoxe Complaining about PET BATTLE PVP? Are you *!@#ing serious, oh my god this reminds me why I stopped reading comments on WoW forums. Comment by perculia Clarified it a little--it's not a pet reward from PvPing, it's a pet reward from battling against other players :) No battlegrounds or arena required. Comment by Nerraw Derp, mistunderstood the post >.< Comment by Cozzene Can we get new pets to be marked as cageable\/not cageable? The wild caughts are obviously not, but the rewards and drops have been inconsistent. Pretty please? Comment by Rainemard I'm really confused as to their intentions with Living Fluid and Viscous Horror. \r
\r
Firstly, they're both from the same boss, with the same abilities, same statistics, and very similar models (they seem to be Quivering Blob and Malignant Ooze from the Primordius gauntlet. Secondly, it appears Living Fluid may only be available from LFR difficulty. If so, that could prove to be very problematic as the game continues beyond ToT. Of course there's nothing stopping them from changing that come 5.4 or whatever.\r
\r
Regardless, it just seem unnecessary to have both pets in the game. Comment by iceman2486 Any idea if chess is going to be updated to make it more easily solable like the did with Razorgore and other encounters for raiding with leashes 1. Cause otherwise getting to Malchezar is going to really suck. Comment by Baelabog I'm really confused as to their intentions with Living Fluid and Viscous Horror. \r

I suspect that the reasoning behind this was that not everyone that is in ToT is at\/past Primordius. If you are, great, chance at that pet. If not, you can do LFR for a chance at an identical pet with a different name. There is also the super casuals who ONLY ever do LFR who should be given a chance at this pet as well. Comment by Micros Players can see the battling player as well. This could have interesting implications on PvP realms, if players can be attacked while battling.\r
\r
You already could be seen and attacked while battling on PvP realms, you got a shield that'd reduce damage for a few seconds once hit to give you some time transitioning from the Pet Battle interface. The only change is now they see you're doing something, and aren't just afk.

^ Comment by Reiterpallasch It would be awesome to know if progress towards the new pet brawler achievements were retroactive, or if everyone will be starting at 0 come 5.3. Comment by Rylande Please make chess event not required to go to Prince, else this'll be hell to get :( Comment by The1337ScareCrow Wow, I can't wait for these. I ran through karazhan a lot of times for some transmog, so I hope i'll get these to drop at some point. Comment by regma Fine. If I have to beat all those tamers in one day, so be it. >:) Comment by Mantrhax " reducing an abilitiy's hit chance kept some uncertainty and (nerve-wracking) fun on the battlefield "\r
\r
Clearly Blizzard doesnt understand whats fun for player.... welll, the latest number show it already ! Comment by Zuji There is also the super casuals who ONLY ever do LFR who should be given a chance at this pet as well.\r
\r
Dear me, I am some kind of MEGA casual then, since I dont even use the LFR (and no reward whatsoever could convince me to do it). Comment by Interest Hmmm...Tito's moveset....I think I may want to try to get him. Comment by rinkworks There is also the super casuals who ONLY ever do LFR who should be given a chance at this pet as well.\r

Out of curiosity, how come? I'm not trying to persuade you, just wondering what the aversion is. I did used to be fairly anti-raid myself, but that was more about being against the time commitments and loot-roll politics that go hand-in-hand with guild raiding. With LFR, I can just tag along with a group, get my personal loot, and get out. Comment by Yodirani Sooo lame... Blizz is making people do old content... Comment by millstoneman I was rather hoping that pet battles was going to stay clear of the need to raid. Its a great part of the game but as time goes on I am getting more and more frustrated that there will be content I wont get. Please leave raiders their mounts and epic gear and leave the fun collecting of pets to explorers and non raiders. Going into old content is great for me as I did not raid after vanilla (core etc) so seeing some of this content for the first time is awesome.One more thing - If we are to do more old raid content how about making some raid pieces bind on account (or letting crafters make "unbind" mechanics to create a more vibrant alts auction house) - gives me even MORE reasons to do old content .
