Q: Could I put the Guardian Cub up on the auction house to try to make some gold if I wanted to?
While our goal is to offer players alternative ways to add a Pet Store pet to their collection, we’re ok with it if some players choose to use the Guardian Cub as a safe and secure way to try to acquire a little extra in-game gold without turning to third-party gold-selling services. However, please keep in mind that there's never any guarantee that someone will purchase what you put up for sale in the auction house, or how much they'll pay for it. Also, it’s important to note that we take a firm stance against buying gold from outside sources because in most cases, the gold these companies offer has been stolen from compromised accounts. (You can read more about our stance here.) While some players might be able to acquire some extra gold by putting the Guardian Cub in the auction house, that’s preferable to players contributing to the gold-selling “black market†and account theft.

How do you feel about it?
It's overblown and will have little to no affect: | 27 (43.5%) | |
It will have a negative affect on game play: | 16 (25.8%) | |
It's a positive change that will add to the game: | 2 (3.2%) | |
I'm fine with anything as long as I have beer: | 17 (27.4%) | |
Total: | 62 |
I'm somewhere between one and two at the moment. I'm thinking demand will drop off pretty fast for these little critters. Sure someone will waste a couple hundred dollars in exchange for gold if they sell well on the AH though.
Your thoughts?
