Why can I not tame a giraffe?

While I’m all for #nochanges in most things, there is one particular change that is long overdue.

Have you ever played a Hunter?
If you have then one of the first things you’ve probably attempted is to run straight to The Barrens to tame a giraffe.

I guess you are all-too aware of that terrible, empty feeling of disappointment when you realised that giraffes are not tameable.

Why Blizzard why?

Why can I not have a giraffe as my very own pet?

A giraffe to follow me to the ends of the earth, smite my foes, and be my friend and companion.

I don’t think that being able to tame a giraffe is too much to ask, do you?

Most players have been asking to be able to tame a giraffe since 2005, and nothing but SILENCE from Blizzard.

Now it’s time for them to listen to the community!

ALL WE WANT IS TO TAME A GIRAFFE.

Please Blizzard, please!

Have you ever played a Hunter irl?

Hunters hunt with canines. Legendary hunters hunted with big cats. A giraffe cannot hunt because it has no sense of smell and because it can do no damage to a wild animal.

If you want to tame giraffes, go join the freak show that is Retail.

It’s people like you that destroyed Retail and made it into the freak show it is.

Seems like a reach, and gimme attention post lol

I hear giraffes have huge apetite. You’d spend more money and time feeding her for loyalty than what you could afford. Imagine waking up at at night with a starving giraffe crying for food!

Lmfao, so full of fake superiority.

Also, giraffes have a sense of smell and their back kick is pretty nasty.

But go on, tell us about legendary hunters with big cats.

LOL a giraffe can do no damage to a wild animal?
there are only a few animals it cannot kill solo lol

Have you ever seen a giraffe fight a giraffe?! It’s terrifying and weird and also a little funny all at the same time… They have one hell of a neck swing on them! Saw it on CBBC when my kids was watching telly…YouTube it :joy:

Giraffe would get upset and would run away from ya,as you would leave your pet outside of buildings all the time:d

Na, cmon. Dont be so serious. You have to admit, it would be fun. Asking for a Giraffe is not terribly unreasonable :grin:

In Ancient Egypt, pharaos used cheetahs as hunting cats, basically. So yeah, it can be done. Look it up on Wikipedia, under the “Cheetah” entry

Well in WoW you can hunt with scorpions and turtles :slight_smile: Why no a giraffe?

Hunters hunt with canines

TIL owls and cats are canines

It would just look down on you anyway.

Just think about how many times you would have to ‘call pet’ as it’s heads got stuck in a tree somewhere and you ran out of distance so it vanished
