European gamers are not happy bunnies (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/10/mountain-dew-pets-not-for-eu-gamers/). Blizzard implemented rolling restarts (http://status.wow-europe.com/en/alert) to remove whatever bug had allowed gamers to get themselves a Battle Bot (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=65682) pet. Yes, they stood before European WoW players and said: 'No you shall not have a Bot' leaving them feeling unloved and bereft. It does kind of make sense though given Mountain Dew is almost unheard of in Europe.
This is that first time that I can recall when Blizzard have made a non-combat pet region-exclusive. However with the promise of a Jade Green Panda (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=66520) (most likely a gift to compensate all the millions of Chinese players who have been without WoW for weeks during the transition from The9 to NetEase (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/02/wow-china-transition-begins-this-month-will-be-down-for-weeks/)) I don't think it will be the last.
So, dear readers, what do you feel about region-specific pets? Do you think they're a great idea to reward gamers in a specific region? Not got a Battle Bot and a feeling a little neglected? Do you think Blizzard should just give every players the ability to get a pet rather than make it region/account specific?
