Well, I did my daily every day. I even did it for a few tries on an alt in desperation. I got 5 mini zeps, another clockwork rocket bot, 3 rag dolls, lots of gorillas and racers but NO LUMPY.
It really makes me sad that pet (and mount) collectors are treated to such randomness. For everything else in the game some persistence gets you rewards. To have something available on a random roll for only 2 weeks a year is pure torture. I have little doubt that I will still be playing next Winter Veil (I have bought my season ticket), but the thought does not excite me in the slightest. This year I was all excited at the thought of a new pet but became more and more despondent every day. I am left feeling hollow and very miserable.
So I turn my thoughts to the Darkmoon Faire. I managed to catch the reset in the early hours so have a head start on my collecting for this month, but with 2 of the quest items currently bugged and one extremely rare drop (I’m NOT paying 12k gold for it on the AH) it looks like I will only have enough tokens for one pet this month – welcome to my collection Darkmoon Cub 
.
I can cope with the collecting though, I know it WILL happen if I keep going. I don’t mind the grind. It took me almost a year of perseverance to get the Green Proto Drake (back in the days when you got an egg once a week rather than the current 3 days).
Ah well. Happy New Year to everyone who still reads my whines and drivel. Have fun in WOW. I hope I can find some again.
I’m totally feeling you here Seph. I’m at 166 pets now (got my second darkmoon this time – my first last time). But despite having done the daily every day, I have no lumpy, and I wasn’t play in 2007, so I have no rocket bot either. It’s genuinely incredibly disappointing. With you on this one!!

Argh, that must be SO frustrating!
Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year, despite the pain in the butt stuff on WoW.
