World of Warcraft Loot

   Some like it some are totally against it, but the WoW Trading Card Game has the special loot cards. Get one of these cards and you end up with something special ingame that others can only dream of.. ok that’s a bit of a stretch but there are a couple nice things. Most are just toys, a dragon kite or a fishing chair but the one everyone wants is the Spectral Tiger Mount. With the odds of getting one of these loot cards so high, it’s probably better off buying one off of ebay, but I’m a lucky person so why not try.

   A month ago I’m at a mall and see the cards, so I buy 5 packs, sit down in the mall getting ready for my winnings, open them and find nothing.. blah.. Like I said the odds of getting one of these cards is completely crazy, so I tell myself, next time I’ll buy 5 more and that’s it. (I’m not a gambler at all) So this week I’m Christmas shopping and see the cards once more, buy 5 packs and to my suprise, I’m a winner. I may be lucky but I’m not lucky enough to get the tiger mount, I won the Turtle Mount, yes the turtle mount, the one that when ridden it only has walking speed, anyone can ride it, you don’t need to be level 40, but it’s something.

   Running off to Booty Bay to claim my prize Turtle, first you go to the card games site and put in the secret number you scratch off the card, they then send you to Blizzard who gives you an in game secret number, just for your server (if you put the wrong server, you’re screwed and might as well make a toon there now). So armed with my in game secret number I find the NPC in BB, click on him, choose riding turtle, input the the # and nothing happens :( No wrong number, No here ya go, nothing. So what do I do? Do I contact the card game makers? Blizzard? I found an email address on the card makers site and sent a brief rundown of what happened and asked what my course of action should be to resolve this. I haven’t received an answer yet (it was just last night) But as I was standing at the NPC after sending the email a level 1 walked up to the NPC and stood there for maybe 20 minutes, it had to be a GM because one they were level1 in BB but also when I tried to inspect them, I didn’t have the choice, I could point at her but when I tried to whisper, the whisper said there is noone logged in with that name. After her 20 minutes of standing there, she just vanished. So still no idea what I need to do, or what I can do.

Edit: Come to find out, I bought the wrong pack of cards to try to win the Tiger mount, but if this works itself out, I have Speedy the Turtle!

Edit2: The company just got back with me, they say I should try disabling my addons for everything to work, I can then reenable them. Have you seen how many addons I have?
