Pet score question (WoWProgress)
Posted: November 28th, 2012, 4:56 pm
I hope this is the right place to ask this. Has anyone had their pet score disappear off of WoWProgress? And if so, did it come back eventually?

Along that line of thinking, when I went straight to my pets page on wowprogress, it said that I did not have any pets.Suspiro wrote:It seems like an API call that dumps pet information has been altered in some way and is causing WoWProgress to think any given character (after update) has no pets. That's my suspicion at least given that one of my addons could not properly read my pet data.

Points on Wowprogress are based on your pets' levels and quality. Duplicate pets don't count (but they used to lol). You can see the full list of values per level and quality here.Eeekk wrote:How are points calculated? Number of pets? Unique pets? Pet levels?
Duplicate pets should be counted IMO..Quintessence wrote:Points on Wowprogress are based on your pets' levels and quality. Duplicate pets don't count (but they used to lol).

When duplicate pets were counted towards a pet score, it caused the problem of players gaming the system and cheating their way to the top. It was really easy to simply capture every rare in Pandaria (highest level capturable pets), regardless if you had one already or not. From there, it was a breeze to quickly level them all to 25.Florencia wrote:Duplicate pets should be counted IMO..Quintessence wrote:Points on Wowprogress are based on your pets' levels and quality.

It only would not unfair if capture duplicate pets is impossible for the majority. Everyone can capture and store 3 pets from one kind, and because of the existence of breeds, it's not hard to understand the reason behind this(capture 3 same kind but wtih different breeds for the sake of specific bppvp needs)Quintessence wrote: When duplicate pets were counted towards a pet score, it caused the problem of players gaming the system and cheating their way to the top.

Whether or not this should count towards your overall progress is debatable, but in the end I guess Wowprogress sided with those that felt it wasn't fair and changed it.
