Manual update Issue - Impossible Collections
Posted: September 26th, 2012, 10:00 am
I tried to update my collection manually today and was unable to save. The error message was "Your collection includes pet combinations that are not possible for a single character to collect."
Since my list was never a single character list before (is this the only option now?), I thought this was totally reasonable and that I might have had something in there that was conflicting. Looking it over though, all that I could see were the two moonkin hatchlings. They do actually both show up in my pet journal in game however, as well as in the armory. I realize I can't summon them both on a single faction, but shouldn't the collection be allowed to contain them both?
Also, shouldn't all these single character restrictions just go away completely now that we have account-wide pets? Again, I realize that you can't summon them on all characters, but we still collected them, right? This is more a matter of preference and I accept that some purists might simply want to see the max "summonable" number among all of your characters. But I know that I can collect both an alliance and horde argent squire, so shouldn't I be able to add both to my collection? It seems to me that the whole single character concept should go away now rather than become even more restrictive than it was before account-wide pets existed.
