Blizzard has pulled another fast one on us. They are now utilizing non-combat pets as bait to get players to act accordingly. I can't say it's a bad thing. The more secure the game is, the better playing experience for all. First we get one for merging with Battle.net,
now we get one for using the Authenticator. Next thing you know they will offer us one for cash alone, nah, they'd never do a thing like that.
