BlizzCon 2009 was full of surprises, some little, some known and some huge. One of the little ones was the announcement that players in PUGs would be rewarded for helping out strangers. It was a great idea, in fact, it was such an obvious idea that there was a collective “Why didn’t I think of that” among the crowd.
It’s simple really, leading a PUG is an arduous task in management. You have to gather random players of the right classes, organize them into suitable groups, deal with the wipes that are often associated with the mish-mash of a group and waste tons of time. All of these headaches for the shot at a reward, and that’s if things go well. If they go poorly you’ll be marked as failure. It’ll be your fault that the raid failed. It isn’t quite lose-lose, but you can’t get much closer.
What better way to get more people leading and participating in PUGs than with rewards? That’s exactly what Blizzard plans to do in Patch 3.3, offering the Perky PUG as one of the (hopefully) many rewards available to the altruistic gamers among us.
I am absolutely loving the recent influx of highly diverse and well executed pets. Good to finally discover why Dalaran’s carpets stink.

That’s so cool! And Heartbourne, he wasn’t being inaccurate, he said it was from pugging with random people, he just left out the number…

I want it, I’m just sad that means I have to PvE with my PvP character to get it on the toon with my collection /sigh.

That is very old missinformation you are stating here. It has now for quite some time been anounced that you get the pet for pugging with 100 ppl.

^^ now thats y pug are horrid not only do u get teenagers who think its ok to be ‘its not fair i want that loot’, or pvpers! in p v damn E but you now have a great line that all irritating players say when they enter the group “Let’s make this a fast one!” Do you not know that pug’s will only go as fast or as slow as your 1.2k dps???? common guys get with it the tank has to tankt he healer needs mana and your just expendable dps…. learn to be nicer and less of an impatient prick…. on rant over I hope to get this pet just got my paient title not long to go.

Argh… I am a hardcore PvPer and a great pet collector… But I’ll never be able to get that damn Perky Pug on him..
The 10’s of thousands of HK’s means nothing to the group.
At least I own a little cut adorable Pug in real life! xD.
