I got messaged last night by a 55 hunter asking to invite him to Scholo while my wife and I were getting her Pali mount quest done. (fighting that boss at that time)
I told him we were leaving and that he should just quest in a few zones to level up and get some money.
He told me that his pet sucked as it never held aggro. With this I asked him what pet was he using.
He told me he was using a bird. So I asked him the first thing I could think of. Was his Growl and Screech up to date
He asked what screech was and said it was a bird it can't growl... OH NOES!
I /facepalm and went into explaining this to him the functionality of growl and that any pet can learn it. He was like, my pet doesn't have either of them.
I told him to train these to his bird and start doing quests in the crator, eastern plaguelands, or Wintersprings. he told me he did all those quests already and he was still 55. I told him go check again. which apon complaints about his pet not holding aggro on mobs in Hellfire I reminded him of the level difference and also told him not to unload all his abilities on the mob.
He started complaining so I told him I was getting off and logged out.
Sorry about the long story but...
Is it really possible for someone to continue trying to levelall the way to 55 without growl on a pet? To me that just seems rediculous.
Meh... just a story I thought I would share...
