August 2023 Trading Post Pet: Spirit of Competition!

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK
The items for 2023 August's Trading Post are up, and among them is the pet, 競賽之靈!



About the previous source for this pet from Warcraft Pets:
Blizzard introduced an event called The Spirit of Competition to commemorate the 2008 Olympic Games. Throughout the event, this pet was randomly mailed to players who were victorious after any PvP battleground. There was a 1 in 8 chance it would be mailed to a player for each battleground won.

However, Blizzard has been re-releasing old pet rewards, and during the month of August players can collect this pet for 650 Trader's Tender!

Will you be picking this pet up, or were you one of the lucky ones in 2008 to find this little one in your mailbox?

As always, we at Xu-Fu's wish you all the best in your pet collecting endeavors, and happy battling!

I'm glad they're making this available for people. I personally had one, you had to pvp and had a chance of getting it. I'm hoping they post the one the Chinese only got eventually. ( I believe the silver pig was icoke from Asia?) I've wanted him forever. I know they moved him to RAF too but again, no friends lol.

Many people are upset because they've had it all this time and why should someone just get it? I'll tell u why, because sure it was unique but now a ton of people who collect A. need a chance to get something that wasn't available. B. Some of our collectors weren't even born yet. And C - not in this case but a lot of the drops on Twitch are the TCG cards that the cardhoarders want 1-2k REAL cash for.

The extra mounts this month. A lot of mounts are not in the store anymore. I paid full price for some and then got the rest with a bundle. Am I upset because someone can get them for in-game tokens? absolutely not. Same reasons above and I know some people who will NOT buy in-game items with cash.

Lastly, We need more tokens. Maybe let us do the alts lol. I'm worse than a kid at Xmas on the first now. I saw a post about a guy saying that this game has turned into Barbies - how about a PVP item? Well. It's always been kinda like Barbie for me. You don't HAVE to do the stuff for trader and PVP things count towards it anyway as does raiding and mythic. There's a long list of diff kinds of players to get the points. The fact that it's there? Grow up. Not everyone pvps , or pays someone to rush them to the end game so they can flex their epeen on trade and complain about nothing to do.

In conclusion, I've already sent an email about how this page saved me personally. No exaggeration. I appreciate the time people spend putting together teams that I would be pulling my hair out trying to do.

ps Each month it seems they add in holidays and areas that no one has been to if they started late. For once I can find nothing wrong with how blizz has handled mogs, mounts, and pets. (other than the fact I can't buy it all at once lol) the weapon mog of the ball thing was the first month so now we know they might repeat. So I'm good.

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I just had shoulder surgery and was off the computer for the last few months. I hope you were able to get it.

My husband and I farmed pvp battles to try to get that pet the entire time in 2008. He got it his first battle. I did not. I was so sad. He tried to share it with me because he didn't even collect pets - he was literally only doing the pvp with me to help ME because I was a healer. I am so happy to finally have this pet. I have been pet farming since before it was even a "thing" that was popular. I appreciate having this little guy so much! <3

exactly. I'm not too fond of pvp , and the pet wasn't as high a drop rate as u think it was. PLUS I THINK u had to win....har har alliance right? I know i was highly irritable and cranky trying to get it.

Exactly! I think that first one was our only winning battle and then I was in nothing but losing rounds and I just got so angry!

If they give us Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal (which they should, we had an all-out battle on our server (BWR) with 2 guilds working on it...one threatened to leave the server and take the gong thing with him so we couldn't open AQ. I did the hideous quest line(s) later just because. (i was into achievements before they were achievements)

...What?

Oh we had a major server scandal as well! There was supposed to be an agreement between these major guilds. Then a player snuck in and rang the gong a second before the agreed upon person was supposed to do it. Pandemonium followed.

I have been an off and on player since BC and understand how some want that special feeling they can only get in life from being the proud owner of the whatever no one else has. It is something I never quite understood but saw plenty as a real life card and comic collector. It was never the rarity that got me excited, I was and probably still am more of a "completionist" than anything.

So of course I side with making the stuff available from that perspective, I mean one of my top five baseball cards of all time is my 1978 Topps Ed Halicki card because it completed my first ever complete set of baseball cards.

However, beyond that, what I like about the return of these items is that lots of the players who had them are gone, and sadly some forever as sad as that is to realize. No one even sees them let alone has one, so I like they give folks a shot at these rare items. With all the options out there, the likelihood of seeing too many lasts about a month.
