MoP Beta Pet Trading

[Maleika]

my question is how would this work for a pet like murky? we have the egg and will always have the egg to send to any toon we want so they can have the pet. i am interested to see how they fix this one.

That shouldnt be an issue if Blizz keeps to they're statement:



MMO-Champion has a translated version of the WoW China Developers Q&A. Two notable questions related to pet trading and Pet Battles were answered. [source]

Will there be any rules about pet trading? Will we be able to trade pets of limited editions (like Panda Cub) or Blizzard Store pets （like Wind Rider Cub）? How about achievement pets?
We plan to allow players to trade Blizzard Store pets excluding Guardian Cub (because it's not BoP and it's unique). Collector's edition and other limited edition pets (like Mini Tyrael or BlizzCon pets) will not be tradable, either.

You said earlier that not all pets can take part in pet battle system. What are the exceptions?
Currently the exceptions are pets with humanoid children models. They will not be included in pet battle system. Nor will the Guardian Cub.

Keep in mind that these answers may differ on outside of China. We're still guessing that balloon pets (and other similar lifeless models) will not not be able to fight.

Certain pets will not be tradeable. I believe that (sadly for me) Blizzcon and CE pets are among those. As for other account-wide pets, I suspect the item will disappear when used, as most do now. I read somewhere that we can have up to three of each kind of pet in our journal, so I suspect that for pets we currently know on every character either we will end up with three in the journal and so have two to sell, or Blizzard might make an exception for those and condense them all down to one, which would make sense but kind of suck.

Oddly enough, despite saying they plan on allowing the trade of the PetStore companions, these pets are currently not tradable on the beta. Here's a list of the pets (that I have on me and can check) that are not tradable on the beta:

• Cenarion Hatchling
  Deathy
  Grunty
  Gryphon Hatchling
  Lil' Ragnaros
  Lil' K.T.
  Lil' XT
  Mini Thor
  Moonkin Hatchling
  Murkablo
  Pandaren Monk
  Soul of the Aspects
  Wind Rider Cub

This could just be a bug, and things could change. Or developers might have had a change of heart. It's hard to say right now.

Can anyone check the WoW CE pets to see if they are cage-able on the beta? TCG pets and "no longer available" pets are tradable just fyi.

I can confirm that CE pets are non-tradeable (with the possible exception of Vanilla, since I don't have those).
