The only reason I'd even be remotely "upset" is because closed beta testers (I mean closed beta, not stress test weekends open to virtually everyone ) didn't get a title or pet, and, well, I'm not that worked up anyway. In short: no.

What's funny about that, the pet monkey was exclusive to that one weekend and then they made it available to all the additional stress tests. That peeved me a bit.

My theory about that is that somebody made that promise without checking with the higher-ups, and they changed it not thinking that people would notice. It took me a long time to get over that particular broken promise. Maybe that's why I'm a critter killer... hmmm... ;-D

I deleted the ones I got from beta and imperial. Blach!

I jumped on the hurt bandwagon for lulz but no it really doesn't; I always forget to use those dumb pets anyway.

Good grief no. I don't even use the ones I have. Besides, I make it a point to murder every monkey, rat, chicken, pig, sheep, deer... in short, every targetable Level 1 critter I see.

Good point. I'll often shoot at pets hanging around crafting centers and quest-givers, though it does no good.

Yeap it pisses me off actually.

Made me feel like being a loyal customer for these months instead of unsubbing after the first month was a stupid call.

Yeah! The same way that when I see Best Buy offer a sale on an item I bought months ago, I get upset that they aren't mailing me a gift certificate to make up for it. Because that's a totally reasonable reaction to a sale.

Do you send them money each month so that they keep those items always available to you? Cause im quite sure if you paid them 15$ a month to have certain items there for you and they removed one , you would be pissed also.

Which is the case here.

Im annoyed because i have been paying all these months while they pretty much keep fixing and breaking even more crap all the time , because i did not want to lose this kind of stuff.

By doing this , zen is telling me im going to lose items they will give only to certain players that could not even be subscribed anyway.

Which means , it makes no dif to be a loyal customer or coming and going , i will lose stuff on both roads , might aswell save money instead of giving to them.

What are you losing? You don't have a dog, so you can't lose it. You aren't going to be losing anything.

Im getting locked out of content , end of story.

This kind of pet/costumes... The kind of thing you usually get on events is something i always try to get , the second reason to me to prefer to join MMOs day one. The other being getting names.

The fact that im getting locked out of this anyway , means to me that i have 0 reason to remain subbed at all times until i finally give up playing the game for good , because i will lose the content one way or the other.

Yes , im just one sub , so zen it does not matter at all , still , they probably would have the sales even without the dog by having only the 50% sale , again , a stupid call.

I want a talking skull companion voiced by ? with a real serious bite. ZOS will keep updating witty things about bugs and quest/story problems the skull will mention until they get fixed. The skull needs a really special line when my PC gets stuck between a dungeon wall and some vases too!

People that whine about vanity stuff, should rethink their attitude towards gaming. It seems like they are way too much into it and this is never a good thing.

There are more important things in life than a silly virtual item and there will be many more vanity items that you wont get.

I am afraid we will see the same Drama once ZO adds a pet for those who stayed subbed or those that bought the Console version.

What I find funniest about this kind of discussion is the inability of some people to deal with diferent goals and to racionalize their subjective way of living (in this instance, playing a game) as the right one.

For instance, if someone´s goal is to get vanity pets, instead of being on the top whatever of whatever board, or even combining multiples races with factions, one goal is "stupid" and the other is amazing. Although, in the end, it´s just a game and the real goal should be whatever gives you most fun (IN MY OPINION).

Now to the question itself. I, for instance, would like to have all vanity pets possible, but does it bother me that they decided on a promotional policy that doesn´t line up with my particular goal in this part of the game structure ? nah... (In that matter, I agree with Audigy, it doesn´t seem healthy to get really bothered by it)

I understand that the game is not made for me, it does loose a bit of its appeal to me, but not enough to be bothered about.

And, In my personal and non-transferable opinion, limiting getting anything in a game is stupid (on that matter, even the initial exclusive pets, which I do have, should be avaiable is some way, IMO, that´s why I´m voting yes).

Again, in my opinion, the idea of some players being "special" is stupid to me, since being special is the most generic and ordinary feeling a human being can have. And when someone looses the ability to achieve something in a game, it makes easier to let pass on another stuff, thus, loosing the impulsive completist appeal as a goal for some players.

That said, I usually fell gratefull when I see I can´t get everything in a game, it frees me from that completionist, 100% achiever, compulsion.

Sorry for my english mistakes, it´s not my native language.

Personally I would have rather had a neutral answer to this poll.

While personally I care more about support lollygagging their feet in getting me my dwemer spider pet than this, I do say this whole mess could have been avoided and been a positive thing for ZOS if instead of handling it this way they made the dog a limited time item for current players that you could have been purchasable from a merchant for about a month or something around the date of the intial steam sale.

Even for the 4 days would have been enough.

All they did was create bad PR on the game with people now (me included) turning others from it , because after all , not many want a game that offers content only to new players on a sub based MMO.

Honestly , this one works almost every time.

Whether it means anything to us or not, zeni doesnt give a ***.

CS has told me to kick up a stink on forums... really?

so if we want something small and simple, and pay every month for the game (so we have access to all the content and arent restricted) why should this even have happened.... let alone why should it be up to us to kick up a fuss and moan to try get it?

zeni has ignored most forums recently, and the ones they do respond to, they give us a fake solution ( tell us to use eso in non steam game mode for example) .. so idgaf anymore.

keep slowly digging your own grave zos, its just another one of the million small things wrong with this game and its CS.

Summoned minions in setlemets however, they bother me.

Beta players got a Monkey, Non-Beta players Didn't. Steam players got a Dog (till the 21st), Non-Steam players don't. Quakecon attendees get a Pig, Non-Attendees don't. Next thing you guys will be wanting is my Statue and Lore Book. Get over it already.

The monkey is low resolution and his *** is a triangle (look closely) >:(

He's gross.

Now, if I could have one of those high-res wild monkeys... Then I would be happy!
