    Oh, wow. I was not expecting this. Thank you for all your contributions to the pet community. This video was well articulated and edited. World events SHOULD be fun! It's a shame they aren't when it comes to rare limited drops like these.

    Arfus felt awful. My lucky friend got it on the 1st without even needing or wanting it... He was pissed he couldn't trade it to me... I farmed til the very last day and even the morning prior to the event ending. Did over 420 attemps and neither the pet nor the drake mog dropped... That is just astonishingly bad.
    It is sad that you are leaving, but understandable as blizz's actions in the past years have been getting worse...
    I hope we see better days in the future.

    I have every pet in the game with the exception of 5 or 6 blizzcon exclusives in the past. The fact that they didn’t make arfus cage-able at the very least proves they don’t give a damn. I had so many guildies get him that couldn’t care less about the pet. At least let people make some gold then. I finally got arfus the second to last day before event end. It was crazy for me to think that I’d have to wait an entire year to try again. I don’t blame you for cancelling your sub. That’s the only thing blizz will listen to is loss of money

    I just discovered your channel not to long ago and definitely hate to see you leaving… However, I definitely understand as lately I’ve been pretty off and on with warcraft in general! I’ve just gotten back into uploading pet battle videos again and have you to thank for getting me back into it! Thank you for all you’ve done for the pet battle community and hope to see you back soon ❤

    I genuinely believe there shouldn't be a single piece of content in WoW that requires more then 100 runs for any single person. The fact that there is NO RNG protection mechanism for things like mounts or pets, to me is just... frustrating. This is one thing I will without question hand the win to FFXIV for. I still genuinely can't for the life of me can't figure out why they changed tokens halfway through. I'm glad folks who don't collect a ton of pets were floating on a few, but I'm never far above 100 or 200 at any given point getting tokens / etc.
    That all said Xu Fu's and the work you guys do over there is like one of the few reasons I can even tolerate or enjoy pet battling, so you have my sincerest thanks for that.

    Thank you for making this video, it was very informative and reassuring that my lack of luck was not uncommon. After 405 loot-filled pumpkins (this year), I finally got Arfus. It was not my first kill of the day and I did not use the wicker man curses. It was one of if not the hardest grind for a pet that I have ever done, similar to the Wondrous Wisdomball. I am free lol. I'm happy that you are making videos again though ❤

    So sad to see and hear this, but I understand. I just came back to WoW after 2 years. We, my sister, son, and I all left for same reasons not pet battle related, but I'm not going into that here. I came back because of the pets and pet battles. I loved them all along and still do. My sister and son haven't returned so I play alone. For that reason I've been finding info I need on youtube and found some of your videos. I love the way you do/did yours and even though you said you won't be checking your youtube anymore, I wanted to post and say thank you for what you have done. May God bless you in what ever path you walk from here.

    Dang, I just subscribed today, too. And even though it seems like you won't see this, I gotta say that the pet community is weaker without you. But I get it. All the raid/mythic/pvp pets really got to me and I just didn't have a sub for all of Shadowlands.

    Weird post for november when everyone who got Arfus already got it from horseman, rip to anyone who wasn't lucky.
    But I think it would still be neat to get it in retail if you got the wrath achievement, if you didn't already have it from horseman.

  • @Catbriar

    And I thought I was disappointed by not getting Arfus (despite trying as hard as I could, sans leveling more alts in the given time.) Neither I nor my hubby got it and we were so sad that a pet was made this extraordinarily difficult to obtain. We didn't know the curses had no effect on the pet drop and both had the mount, so we made the whole ordeal that much harder on ourselves for no reason. But now I'm even more devastated, knowing that not only did the event leave a bitter aftertaste, the entire pet community is losing an invaluable member that contributed richly to our understanding of pet battles and enjoyment of the game. I've walked away from WoW a couple of times over the years, since unsubbing is about the only way to express absolute disagreement with a policy. I left when the devs decided flying should be removed and fortunately that plan was abandoned. I truly hope that the situation with Arfus is made right, if not well before next Halloween, at the very least for the next opportunity when the holiday returns. And with all my heart I hope you find a game that is tremendously fun for you and I also hope that you'll return to WoW in the future if they get their collective head out of the sand and fix their RNG pet drops. Much love and gratitude!

    525 attempts on Arfus and I never got him. Don't worry I'll be giving them hell ion that cord about battle pets now 🤣 they got hell the entire last two weeks from me in there about this.
    I'm so sorry you are leaving, I'm a day one vanilla player and I considered cancelling for the first time ever because of this. I'm tired of these lots systems, they are awful and wow needs an overhaul from them.
    You will definitely be missed, but you have to do what's best for you and your fun! ❤

    i mean true the pet battle system isn't great at time but there are some people who just art smart enough to come up with good strategies. my gf and a few other people i know got arfus just by running the halloween dungeon some of them ran it with the wicker man curse active to try and boost their chances of getting items they wanted. but as for the pet battleing i've boiled it down to some people not coming up with good strategies to improve their chances of winning and some not making the connection that half of the pet battle system is legit a copy and paste of pokemon type advantage

    I know this is a year old, but it showed up on my feed just today
    This year I came back to the game as I missed playing. I seen that this cute little guy would be in the Halloween event, so I wanted to farm for it
    It took me 169 HH kills just to get it.
    I know some got it within the 50 mark of it.
    Im just not a fan of low drop rate pets/mounts from events. Wish the drop rate was at least a little better than what it is now

    But I totally understand, I do. Because I'm in that exact same spot, I just recently started to think, is it worth it? To keep playing? To make stuff, post your rants? Or not at all. We are just not heard, they just don't listen and this constant mockery and trolling becomes tiring after some point.

    I know this video is a year old but, the drop rate must be lower than 1% because when i tell you i farmed the headless horseman everyday with curses and multiple characters and got neither the mount or arfus was very soul crushing.

    I'm both happy and sad I caught this not long after you posted, and not weeks afterwards by happenstance. I'm going to miss seeing you around, and getting your help. I can only think it's been the poor employment state at Blizz that's contributed in part to this - cancelling Work From Home, bad management, an indifferent and greedy C-Suite....

  • @Cuphat
    @Cuphat 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I managed to get it by throwing a very high number of alts (and a very high amount of time) at the problem. I then did the same with even more alts for the Love is in the Air mount/drake armor and came up short on that one.
    It's bonkers to me that Blizzard can acknowledge how awful that process is and then at the same time add more to it. I hope that eventually they can come to their senses and actually make a system for these items that doesn't crush people's souls.

    • @dragonsafterdark1

  • @Rylatar
    @Rylatar หลายเดือนก่อน

    Seeing this a year later - yeah, the way Blizz handles RNG in some things is awful. 130 attempts last year, 400 attempts this year so far (after they changed it to have lvl 10+ characters eligible for the box) while my husband couldn't trade me his multiple copies he got while farming the mount. We're at a point in game design where certain bad luck protections should be in place, even if they're restrictive and harder to achieve.
    Don't get me started with Infinite Timereaver that evades me still after many years. :(

      I'm not familiar with FF's bad luck protection, but it'd be nice to have something like that in WoW. I don't expect to get everything the first few tries, but there were people in the 500s on Arfus! Not me, I think I only got to 200+ because I didn't think the drop rate would be that bad given everything Blizz said, but no one should have to run something that many times, and in some cases more, to see a drop happen.

    I don't know anything about the pet battle community. I didn't even know there was a pet battle community. That said, Blizzard is taking a big loss here. You clearly are very passionate about pets and pet battles and its people like you who make the community go round.
    I can't believe they would put real power behind a limited, rng pet. I don't know anything about pet battles so I figured it was probably just above average. That's really lame. I'm going to start advocating for not putting powerful pets behind rng.

  • @fish3216

    I hear what you're saying and I think you make a good arguement, but this is just a collectors problem.
    WoW was not designed with collecting being the main source of entertainment. Collecting is something you just do on the side during downtime.
    I enjoy collecting myself. But if something has a 1% drop rate (or is even removed later on) and I don't get it, I don't complain about it, I just move onto the next thing to farm. It doesn't matter, it doesn't help progress my character through the content in anyway, its just a fun cosmetic item. I am able to play WoW with or without Arfus (fortunately I get to play with him).
    Collecting a 1% droprate item does have a level of prestige to it. You have something to show off that is rare. Now if you choose to spend your time gambling on a low RNG drop on multiple characters daily just to get a rare drop, that is your choice. But if it's causing you frustration, then you only have yourself to blame. These items are designed to be a "I was there I got the kill and the Pet dropped" reward. Just because you don't value the prestige of owning a rare drop item, doesn't mean that other players share that opinion. In fact, I am very much of the opposite opinion.
    Over the past year, I have completely stopped farming old content for drops (such a mounts etc), and purely focus on current content (whether it's world content or end-game), and I will say the game have become 1000 times more enjoyable.
    Still, whilst I disagree with you. I do want to say you have put together a really good video here and made a strong argument. Good job :).

    This kind of FOMO has always been in the game but in recent expansions it has spiralled out of control, it's bad when content creators and more dedicated collectors than myself etc can't even keep up with it.
    The "first drop of the day per acc" and then the four curses hasn't solved anything; if anything it is just making players wonder if they are doing something wrong when they do multiple 4 curse runs a day and seeing nothing drop except currrency and a mask.
    I'm tired of logging in every day to do multiple runs for a HOLIDAY EVENT, as if other games haven't got other holiday events either that we'd like to use our limited time to enjoy? Or even the other holiday content in WoW, I skipped it all this year to focus on boss runs.
    It's just salt in the wound that this week is the pet battle event. Get that ultimate level up stone for the dog that didn't drop!
    All the best mate. Good luck whatever you end up doing.
