    I'm confused. There's a pig pet? How and when?

    You certainly are, just have a closer look at the title and ponder. ;)

    I got 4 of the pig cards for my son and I. I was happy with two but the person insisted I have two more. Then later one of the young ladies offered me a handful of them, like an entire stack of them (my son was with me and they couldn't resist handing stuff to a cute 8 year old boy in an elder scrolls online T-shirt). I politely declined several times - didn't want to teach my boy to be greedy. It never occurred to me that they would be selling on ebay for $20+, I could have paid for my whole trip, LOL! (Sigh) But the money disappears fast but teaching your boy morals and manners lasts for a lifetime... or so I am telling myself haha.

    Oh noes! Poor piggies probably ended up in the trash bin! :o

    Darn what a nice guildmate, and you lucky bacon lover :smiley:

    Well, I still cross my fat bacongreasy fingers that those pets will come in the store, so I can skip buying a beer or two and invest in them
    We're born, we live, we die. And along the way, you do the best with whatever crap you step in :p

    Still looking to barter in game for a pig, have a potential source but it depends on someone else not paying up.

    my account name is @‌smeeprocket

    I can trade you crafted stuff, gold vr12 glyphs, for example. I can flat out make you any style of armor and have 6 traits in most things (if you want to wait for the set changes, I will have even more stuff researched) have 8 traits in bow, shield, a couple of the staves, and dagger.

    First of all, I don't eat pigs. I want no business with pigs!
    Secondly, I don't mind the thought of animals eating humans, like tigers etc.
    But pigs...imagine a filthy, monstrous, obese, hideous mass of flesh eating a person while making disgusting noises.
    Pigs are just creepy.

    I don't have an extra.. but the Pig is cool! It's actually is a very nice sized vanity pet imo. They should have a cash shop with some Loyalty points "or" cash to spend... in order to get extra pets not currently earnable in game but offered elsewhere as well as OTHER PETS! Pets & Mounts sell, it's no MMO secret. LR2nyDM.jpg

    Yep. And since that's on the wrong side of the planet and I'm not willing to spend 40 bucks on ebay, nor can spend gold on NA server, me's out of luck, if there's no charitable pig hoarder who would just give me one for free.

    Well I hope they sell it online later, it's not like anyone at the show paid out for it or went there just to get a pig. Probably. Seeing as the convention is on the other side of the world and I had to work most days I draw the line at that. Just to have it a few weeks before anyone else would be more than enough, unless someone sells their body or too much real money for one, which it seems this thread is advocating.

    I'd be careful with assumptions like that in this game. Elder Scrolls means well...this game has a large elderly/middle-aged (48 here) contingent with well-paid jobs who could easily afford to buy a pig, like myself (some would say I am a pig already lol), but we didn't get our jobs and money by buying virtual reality pigs for daft money. Vanity pets will sell here, but not at vanity prices.

    Yeah, the pig will probably be one of the first on the cash shop when it comes in. Until then, I'm quite happy with my purchase, as I've got a pretty exclusive pet that draws a lot of attention.

    Anyone spending $40+ is out of their mind imo. I saw someone had a bunch of them for sale for about $20 or $23 I believe it was... REASONABLE. Still a bit on the crazy side if you ask me, however okay.. it's like dressing up your avatar on XBox Live.. I get it. But $40.... that is just pushing the damn limits of crazy and desperate.

    Technically I could afford $20 (though all I've seen where lowest bids around that price and just one buy now at 39.95), but I am sure a gifted pig will be much more worth it, as it adds sentimental value. That's something you can't just buy.

    And buying one for that price would just make me seem desperate, now wouldn't it? ;)

    Makes me laugh when companies insist they don't want non legit RMT taking place in their game.. then they go right ahead and create a scenario which completely begs to be abused.

    Hand out a load of free voucher codes for something desirable to a minority of your audience, ensuring people can get their hands on multiple codes so have lots to spare...

    Then wonder why they're appearing on Ebay for silly amounts of cash... duh!

    It's a rather good way to gauge prices, tho. If they sell pixel pets on their store for $4.99 people will think of them as generous or would be accepting prices of up to 20 bucks, methinks. When going by current ebay prices.

    So folks, break the cycle and battle the greed, give away your piggies for free! :#

    I doubt it.. just because maybe a few hundred people are willing to pay $40 doesn't mean everyone else will.

    In all likelihood they'd get more money selling at $4.99 than they would at $20 especially as there's no material cost of the item they're selling.

    Hey there, folks. We wanted to pop in and remind everyone that we do not encourage the selling of codes. We'd also like to point out that QuakeCon will not be the last opportunity to get one of these codes. As noted in this article from our knowledge base, codes for the Bristlegut Piglet will be available at other conventions in 2014.

    Will it be available at the Paris Game Week this fall ?
