Are rare hunter pets largely missing on Neltharion?

[Hoskuldur]

I'm getting the impression that the rare hunter pets are largely unavailable on Neltharion. This is not counting the molten front pets which would have existed in patch 4.3.4 (ugh, huh).

I think I've seen one hunter with one of the Hyjal cats. I tried to ask him about how he got it but he wasn't being talkative.

Just looking at the pets hunters have while standing around in town, it looks like something is wrong. I've never seen anyone with Terrorpene, Skoll, Madexx, and so on. Whenever I check the spawn spots there is nothing there. I think if they were spawning as expected, there would be hunters going after them and many hunters displaying them.

The spirit beast bird in Hyjal was fairly easy to find on retail because of how high in the air it flies. Casual killers of spirit beasts had trouble reaching or even necessarily noticing it (hunters wanting to tame had a hard time reaching it too). Terrorpene was not bad either because lowbies leveling in the zone could not kill it (it has a badass attack which wipes out lowbies if they try it).

hm?

Also, this creature appears completely unspawned - easy to be sure because it's not a rare.

It is a scorp with Madexx' model that came available as a non-rare near the end of Cata (4.0.6, apparently).

I play on neltharion, I currently have madexx, karoma, gondria, loque, and 2 jadefangs (bugged). It is also impossible to get a shale spider the normal one and rare because of deepholm being extremely bugged, I've even started noticing the pets having pathing issues and my pet will stop fighting mid combat

Most rare beasts and every spirit beasts spawn, but very rarely. Their spawn time is not Blizzard-like but Warmane-custom, which are 2-18 days.

In MOP they are fixed now. But Cata is completely left off with no fixes and updates, they can't even hotfix current pet walking bug or Deepholm units for months now.

They also promised to fix beast spawn timers few months ago, yet... Nothing.

Thanks for the feedback -

I put in 2 bug reports, maybe it will help. A spawn timer as long as18 days for what is effectively a high population server is out of this world, imo.
