And these are most likely the players who never use block in overland content, and have no idea what's even going on, or why they are getting a free pet.
This one can understand why some players are frustrated with the short announcement from Lambert, and why the pet seems superficial. Sammy has been doing his part with the accountability on update 35 etc.
At the same time, a gesture of good will should be acknowledged as such.
How they move forward with response to update 35 and other issues will be the test.
