When I first experienced this bug I just thought I was being punished for switching specs. Kind of a “f you!” to hunters for using dual specs to refresh the skill cooldown. “19 days?! that’s harsh “

Heh, I rarely use it as well, usually only when I was using my BM spec for soloing. Since I’ve now gone dual MM (buffbot and lolgimmedps), i’m just waiting it out now. Only 230 more hours!

@ Everyone – So I have a horrible confession to make: I never use Call Stabled Pet. Ever. >.> I have Wash with me 95% of the time and when I don’t it’s a conscious decision (like dailies, walking around in cities, etc.) and I have plenty of time to visit the stable master. In fact, I wouldn’t have noticed this bug unless Xanth had e-mailed it to me, which he did!

Like Maevet said, fuck that. I’ll continue to harass a GM and force him to reset it every time it happens because I point-blank refuse to participate in lolrena.

Merry Christmas, Pike! I hope we get to see you back in-game soon!

My remote Stable bugged out on me after I had heard of the problem, so at least I knew it wasn’t just I that was having this problem.

As a couple of the above posters have mentioned, it’s just as easy (if not easier) for me to just find a Stable Master as it is to find and Arena Master, especially if it’s just going to bug out again.

So what I’ve been doing is I spend my hour or so doing my normal solo stuff, then I head back to Dalaran or Ironforge, hit up the Stable Master, and then Queue up for my Heroics.

It’s been a good enough method so far, but I look forward to their fixing it.

And a Merry Christmas/holiday of choice to you too, Pike, as well as to your reader base.

Oh god, I pray whenever I’m soloing Chillmaw or other elites that my 15 minute queue doesn’t pop while I have my warpstalker out. The funny thing is, the ability worked just fine the first day or two after adding in the new LFG tool.

After fixing it the first time I just stuck with my wasp and just figured- well he gives a good debuff, looks cool, and I think I actually enjoy the buzzing.

Yeah, thankfully mine hasn’t actually _reset_ since the first 25 day bug, so now it’s down to 13 days and maybe just maybe it will go away on 1/6.

HA HA HA HO HO HO *sigh*

Frustrating, especially when combined with soloing and LFG.

Thanks much Pike! /hug

I’ve ignored Call Stabled Pet since seeing what it’d take to fix this. Having played some end game at 70, I don’t think it’s that bad at all, really. Just means Cuddles the Devilsaur has to wait 2 weeks to begin leveling.

It also means I have a wonderful excuse ready when pugs go “lol cat, get a wolf out”. <.<
