Okay, the turtle would have been cool if it didn't go at mach 7. I don't want a rat, despite it being cool. So I chose the piggy, as invader's blood marches through my veins like atomic rubber pants. Fear the pants! The pig, belongs to all mankind! Zim, don't use the time matrix, love Zim!

Muahahahahaha!

i heard that the rat plays around with cats if your a hunter. but i am not so i guess it's either the pig or turtle

Veldek · May 19, 2006, 09:51 AM

When I first saw the pig, I found it so cute that I asked the owner where he got it from. As the pig was the only reason I did this quest, it was obvious that I took it. And after seeing the other pets, I think I made the right decision.

I chose the pig although I wish I'd taken the money now!! Its just worthless bit of inventory that basically does nothing. Once you've used it a couple of times it gets kind of old. Didn't know about the rat/hunter thing. Should have chosen a rat if anything!! Stupid pig just looks fat.

They're vanity pets; there is no "best" pet.

Do we really have to min-max everything in WoW?

bokdol · May 19, 2006, 11:26 AM

i know that these pets are pretty much useless but i am writing this to see/ gauge what people think. i am teetering between the turtle and pig. what i mean by best is not function but what people like.. and i wanted other peoples opinions on that. thanks though.

ready2switch · May 19, 2006, 12:46 PM

I did this with my new alt so I took the money. I didn't want to use up an extra space and spent the money on skillz.

Patmian212 · May 20, 2006, 05:41 AM

What level are these quests?

DOG.

Sereiously though. I wish I knew how old your kids are b/c I might have different things to say, but w/o that bit of info...

The three listed above do not qualify as pets to me b/c none of them are domesticated. i.e. meant to live w/ people. Rats & Turles do not like people. They have zero desire to be around us. In fact they are TERRIFIED of humans generally. Of the three only the pig is capable of having any meaningful interaction with a human. Piglets are cute and playful, but smell terrible, and are expensive to maintain. Pigs must live in a seperate enclosure from the house & few sub-urban Vets (even one who specializes in exotic animals) have much experience w/ them. -- if you live in a rural area the vet bit may not apply -- Lastly, there is hygene to consider. While pigs are not nearly the dirty animals most ppl think them to be, they can and do carry diseases. I don't think a pig is at all likely to get your kids emergency room sick, but probably lots of colds & sniffles.

So again, I go w/ Dog. But really, I'd talk to a Vet tech or a Vet (if possible) about a good pet for kids.

Mate, you missed the point, this is a game discussion, these pets are virtual...

Quantum Man · May 20, 2006, 10:42 AM

Hahaha, that made me laugh so so much. The fact that it was serious is simply priceless. BTW some people have been known to keep pigs as pets, in the house and they are in fact very clean animals. Seriously.
