No more Ghost Wolf for Hunters shock! (or, you want to be different?)
If you browse any WoW blogs or news sites you’ll have no doubt seen that Blizzard have applied a hotfix that prevents hunters from taming the Grimtotem Spirit Guide.
Here is an excerpt of Drysc’s post explaining why they hotfixed it:
The removal of the spirit guide has been debated within design discussions for a while now as to what impact the pet and its precedent has on the game.
The unintended nature of the taming, the undead status of the guide, appearance of the wolf in relation to the feel of the hunter class, and the complex processes of taming were all issues touched upon and discussed.
And here is what Issuntril said originally way back at the end of November:
While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn’t exactly intended, it was agreed by the development team that this is a fun use of in-game mechanics, and we therefore have no plans to address this issue - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so.
So, what do I think? Well let me first give a recap of what you actually had to do to tame the Grimtotem Spirit Guide along with how much it would cost.
