Rotten helpers are already available it seems

[Moonie1]

The drop chance really can´t be that bad. I´ve gotten it 3 times on 18 tries ( 6 alts). Been selling them all for 10k after stoning them.

I have done it on 22 of toons twice so 44 times and no rotten helper.
yes rng can be that bad I never get pet drops I have to buy them or count on friends to give them to me.
this is getting ridiculous still haven't gotten one pet in a raid yet how can blizz keep doing this to me this is what will make me quit this game.

Ouch, 0/44 is horrible. Im at 0/24 before I start today. I have not got a pet yet, no Lumpy, no Clockworks, no Rotten. Reading people getting them on first tries and then saying they arent rare is a bit rough to see, especially for people that have done it 44 times with no success. At this point, if anyone even offers me a piece of fruitcake IRL they are getting a free Christmas punch in the mug.

0/36 here sniff

[Moonie1]

0/32 after today's runs. I did get 2 Lumpy's but thats like getting a Gamecast for Christmas.

[Dakaf]

23 runs, one rotten and one lumpy. Going to keep trying though!

[Fushiaa]

Hoping...Hoping...Hoping...2 toons to try, and rng hates me ...I suck at making gold, as I only have 20 gold with TWO 90 TOONS !

[Shikon01]

Haven't gotten one yet either and hoping I will find one under the tree. I'm on Bonechewer and none on AH as of yet.

[Tiggindy]

Oh, FWIW, I got one last night on try 33. So, total is 1 in 36 tries.

[GilroyKilroy]

0/12 after 3 days on my 4 alliance toons. Tried today also with my horde toon and am 1/1

[Bastianelle]

Another 10 tries today, making 30+ attempts for me and still no Rotten Helper. There's always tomorrow.

[Janitor]

0/16 for me. Haven't seen a single pet drop yet but have enough Fruitcake to last me untill next Winter Veil

[Luciandk]

Cheer up, friends.

One hotfix that didn't make the list today is an increased droprate on Rotten Helper Box.

Right on MMOc.

So glad I checked the forums today! I assumed that the pet would only be available as a present under the tree, so I haven't been doing my dailies. Guess I'll take a break from Hearthstone. . .

Good luck to you! Hopefully the RNG demons will leave you alone for a day and you'll get your pet soon.

I would hazard a guess you don't suck at making gold, you suck at KEEPING it. Unless you never play you cannot avoid getting gold unless all you do is PvP! Dailies pay 9-19 gold each, greens that drop off endgame mobs sell for 10-30+ gold, etc. You just need to disable your "BUY" finger for a few weeks.

I'm not as bad off as you (not even close, really) but I still only have 90k between my 8 horde and 1 alliance lvl 90's. At the rate I'm going it will be 2016 before I get all the gold-buyable and/or craftable mounts I am missing (I can make them all, I just don't have the gold to make them all at the same time and can't convince myself to do 1 at a time).

Didn't seem to help me any. Day #4 of ten runs and still no pets. That's up to 40+ now.

[JEC]

0-21, two Clockwork Rocket Bots and one Lumpy.

The only Rotten Helpers in the AH on any realm I have gold on are 75K, so that isn't going to happen!

[Diamondsoul]

Ran both hubby and my accounts every day. First day, hubby's account got Rotten helper on his third toon.
Got Rotten yesterday on one of my toons.

So, his account has 5 90s and I have 5 90s. So that is 10 runs each day and so far 2 helpers to date.

[Luciandk]

Blizzard just listed a new hotfix:

December 20
Items

Rotten Helper Box’s drop rate has increased slightly.

[Astraldr0p]

yay! I hope that I'll get it soon with the higher drop rate

[Bastianelle]

I finally had one drop for me today on my fourth attempt. That makes 44 (47?) tries for me before I got one.

[Shikon01]

Santa bring me one for Christmas in one of my presents PLEASE !!!!!!!!!
