Yeah I think most of us in the know as far as these pets go realize the market might be hurt forever. I do think there is a chance for it to slowly climb back up but that really depends on if the source of these cubs has been put to rest. We likely will not know if that has happened for a couple weeks yet.

I'd rather not support dupers and people that are trying to profit off of them though, heh. But to each their own

This doesn't effect me because I'll never have the gold for one. Even a fake one. ;_;

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
"Hunt the cub"???? Really has this GM ever played wow? Lol. That's what it sounds like. That's a very dodgy answer too. It doesn't even acknowledge there is any "wrong" going on.... It's like saying "well IF there was an issue don't you think we'd do something about it?" Very dodgy. Looks like they are doing nothing to me Mystical and illegal Cubs won't be deleted either

Pretty much, I expect blizzard to take no action except trying to plug the leak of where they are coming from

I think I just saw one of these dupes on the Aegwynn AH for 150k. I was going to post up for people to come buy it if interested, but now, I suspect it is a dupe. It is level 6.
Even if I had the gold, I'd be too worried that I'd be out the gold and the pet if Blizzard decides to do anything.

Dupes can't be placed on the Auction Houses, and are sold in trades only. Anything on the AH should be legit & safe.Violetfemme wrote:I think I just saw one of these dupes on the Aegwynn AH for 150k.

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
This is 100% incorrect. The reason they CAN place them on the auction house is because the dupe is learned and then caged and bam a level 6 pet that IS placeable on the AH.Naplam wrote:Dupes can't be placed on the Auction Houses, and are sold in trades only.

Edit: This is different than the jewelled onyx panthers that could not be listed on the AH. Why? Because once a mount is learned that is it. In this case the pet is learned and then caged becoming tradeable. It is an exploitable flaw with the pet system.

Apologies for the misinformation then, was going off of the mount dupe info.

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
No worries, it is very confusing because there is so much information we do not know. We don't know how they dupe them, we don't know what blizzard can and will do about it and we don't know if anything will happen to these duped cubs. There is just too much evidence pointing at duping though. The level 6 thing is the major point and just the sheer number of these kitties is the other.

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
I had one come on my server selling a level 6 cub, but this one was just someone who bought it cheap elsewhere and brought it here. I only had a few level 1 dupers trying to sell on my server last week. So I'm not the best one to provide this info sadly
Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
I saw a few, but less than last week definitely, and they didn't stay online very long. So maybe there's some action being taken finally.

I can only hope so. Sadly that pet has taken a major hit and it will take a long time to recover.

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
Idk, I actually never seen any hit the AH. So it don't seem like people on Korgath bought to resell.

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
I'm reading a lot of speculation and hysteria.
Can someone clarify with certainty (not more speculation):
1) Is there any confirmation from Blizz that level 6 cubs are dupes?
2) Has anyone bought a level 6 cub *in-game* and had it taken off them by Blizz?

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
Blizzard has not come out and said anything and likely they won't come out and say anything. You can call it speculation and hysteria if you wish. The sheer number of spectral kittens that have flooded the market is all the proof most of us serious traders need. We know that is a huge red flag.
Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
How high pop is Korgath? I never saw them on my medium pop server(s) either; only high pop ones, where they were rampant.Laraven wrote:Idk, I actually never seen any hit the AH. So it don't seem like people on Korgath bought to resell.
1) no, and I doubt there ever will be, just like there never was for Crimson Deathchargers or jeweled panther mounts.Yamum wrote:I'm reading a lot of speculation and hysteria.

2) they are extremely unlikely to do this. Here is the [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/9485069172?page=1#20]closest you are likely to get to a blue response.[/url]

Re: Spectral Tiger Cub Duping - info for traders!
The one I saw on the AH in the afternoon yesterday on my main server, which is low pop, was gone by last night. Items at that price don't usually disappear so fast, so I figure either Blizzard caught on and stopped the auction or the seller cancelled it and went to another server after it wasn't immediately bought. I have not noticed the offers in trade as much lately on the higher pop servers that I play on, though I don't pay much attention when the price is over 10k. I was seeing offers on Illidan for a while, but didn't notice any while I was in a city yesterday.
