    You are making things up here.

    Where did we want a wolf pet? We want housing, we wanted dyes, the DB or Thieves guild.

    Nobody ever said a word about a wolf pet...

    Again, I don't care, so I have never asked for it. But I have personally seen it mentioned from time to time. Also, several posters in the last two days have claimed that they've requested a dog pet from Day One. I have zero reason to disbelieve them, just like you have zero reason to disbelieve me. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

    Being the reasonable, decent person you are, there's no way you would call me a liar when you have absolutely zero reason to disbelieve me, right?
    Its just not acceptable that a few spoiled people can ruin the forum for us

    What's ruined? How does people talking about an issue that you don't care about ruin anything for you? How does a compromise to make loyal customers happy ruin anything for you? The only ruining I see is coming from people who can't miss an opportunity to look down their nose at someone.

    If someone wants to get information about the game and all he or she sees are complaints, don't you think that this might have some type of impact on this person? We lose a lot of people due this and sooner or later the ES forum might become like the LOL forum and this cant be what anyone wants.

    Its also not the point of a forum that the whole first page is full with complaints, threads and insults. It makes our community look like a hostile group of people - this is just sad for an ES community.

    And its not only the dog, its like this every time. If people would at least post in one thread, but no they make 10, 20 of those. This is just a real pain to deal with.

    I know, it is really depressing. You would think they would learn sooner or later. I mean now it has escalated to whining over a vanity pet.

    Yep, it is hilariously pathetic .. . Well, just pathetic, actually :(. .

    It's a law of nature and of Internet forums, particularly this one: the whining will expand to consume all of the available air, choking off genuine debate.

    It needs to stop and ZO folks you need to make a stand about all of this, your loyal customers are losing their fun about coming to this forum if these people are allowed to poison the forum every day. Another user already said that the forum influenced him due all the negativity - it just needs to stop.

    Bring on the IGNORE button, ZOS, I will wear it down...

    How did you get 3?

    There was a bug right after the early access launch where ZOS resent the mails containing your explorer pack and imperial edition items multiple times to some people.

    I got 3 of everything, pets, CE treasure maps, rings of mara ...
    :)

    Same here. It's funny, especially when you consider that I don't ever USE any of it...

    I just think it is sad that there are people that care more about a game pet, that really has no actual use, than they do about ACTUAL PROBLEMS IN THE GAME.
    but nothing can be done.

    ZOS, if you cater to this type of ridiculous outrage over a vanity pet dog, then every single thing you do in the future is going to result in the same type of bad behavior and this community will continue to devolve.

    Please put a stop to it before you create more of a monster than you already have.

    People are not asking to be catered, but if you'd actually taken the time to read the posts before making this thread, you would know this. Fact of the matter is, you're just seeking your share of the attention by starting this thread without making any attempt to understand why people are outraged by this. I'm not even going to bother saying anything more because someone with your mindset will see that I'm quoting you negatively and not bother to read, much less understand, what I'm saying. If by chance you do decide to take the time to understand, go read some of those threads you're complaining about.

    "Dear company, other people want a thing and I don't personally want the thing they want. Please stop them from getting it.

    Why yes, I am kind of a jerk, how did you guess?"

    You don't deserve to get everything you want, just like I don't deserve to get everything I want. The difference between you and me is that I understand that.

    "Deserve" is a concept for small minds. Also, you're not even talking to someone who gives an iota of a crap about vanity pets. What you're seeing here is an entreaty to dis-involve yourself in attacking people for caring about a thing you do not personally care about. Losing the desire to attack people in general would be an added bonus.

    "Deserve is a concept for small minds". Um what? Fine, let me use the word you used then... "Want". You should not get everything you WANT just because you WANT it.

    Says you. A lot of people have been busy, not just WANTing, but making a case for why it'd be a reasonable thing for them to have access to the same thing other people have access to. Personally I find that a lot more compelling than the case against, which is busy murdering words like "entitlement" into complete unintelligibility.

    So what's your modus operandi here, besides just yelling at people for wanting things and striving to attain them?

    To prevent the game from being ruined by people that think they know what is best i.e. starter island fiasco.

    So you're being a jerk to people to prevent the game from being ruined for you. And people complaining about a dog is ruining the game for you. If Zenimax gives other players the opportunity to attain the same dog they're giving away to new purchasers of their game, the game is ruined.

    Uh, okay. I'm not going to pretend that makes sense, but it...sure is...the way you feel.

    It's time we nip this in the bud.

    There is no conceivable situation in which a person who is not already actively invested in this game will stumble across the forum, see a bunch of threads talking about an imaginary dog, and this will cause them to not buy the game.

    What they might do, this being an MMO, is come across the forum, and see you, Audigy, and some of the other forum lowlights, like SFBryan, and nereveraneseriesofnumbers, consistently attacking people, belittling their concerns, and say "gee, the community for this game is pretty not good."

    So if this kind of thing--the talking of other people--is "just a real pain to deal with," then here's a novel idea:

    STOP DEALING WITH IT.

    You are not the sheriff of Paddy's Pub here. Nobody's paying you to do this. You, and the other dudes mentioned, have no incentive to attack people except that you want to attack people. So. Just. STOP.
