QOL suggestions

I'm sure these have been brought up before, but...

1) thank you for keeping the game up and running, and giving us stay-at-homers plenty to do over the next few weeks. Kudos!

2) please consider making pets
A) account bound
sellable for gold, like 1.5?
C) or, if none of the above, at least make them unable to drop more than one of the same if you already have one in your bag.
Love the pets. Hate 50 abyssal chicks, and pulling Brutus everytime from my Zok bags lol

3) Look at Prophecy and Demo for how quickly stacks of Madness accrue, and add a minimum item level to queue for prophecy and throne. The portals in prophecy disappear too quickly also. Also, you cannot get gold in demo without fully getting all the portals in the first section, maybe relax that a little so you can miss one portal and still get a gold run. I know it's probably unlikely, but could a 5-man baby Demo be brought back and put into random skirmish to "train" new players on how the mechanics work? Pugging random trial has been pretty rough lately, especially with adding CODG back into the mix.

It seems like the devs are doing a good job of listening to their playerbase and responding in a timely manner to problems, thank you for that!

Getting gold in edemo is easy if only the purple shards are open. Typically it fails to gold when people open the blue and green shards or dps wonder off. Basic strategy is tank and healer keep demo away from purple shards, everyone else goes to purple shards to kill stuff. The problem is too many people didn't have to grind for twisted weapons when if you didn't gold you didn't even open the chest. And you could only queue like once or twice an hour.

It was once an hour, on the half hour mark. I grinded a lot of twisted out.

I've been running my Tank OP on Trials the past three weeks or so, (just to get a quick load) and the amount of times over about 15 EDemo runs in that time where a healer has stayed anywhere near me I could count on the fingers of... ONE HAMSTER FINGER!!!
Then today... I queue with my Rogue... and there are two healers chasing after the round one Demo tank, like it's a bloody contest to see who can heal him the most.

Don't get me wrong... it was great. I hardly pulled any aggro at all, and round one was over quick sharp... but it did grind my gears a little that I never seem to get that help when I'm tanking the bugger.

I hate Random Queues...

I'm not remotely surprised. When I end up in there, it seems like I'm the only one healing anyone. There have been many times I wonder if the other healer even tried.

Wait, you mean a tank is supposed to be distracting demo from killing and stunning us while the DPS opens the portals???? And there's two tanks and two healers for each run? That sounds like balderdash to me XD

Also a OP Tank and have run Demo multiple times over the last few weeks. I have never seen a healer hang with with me against demo and its usually demo and I hanging in the middle. Only time I do get into trouble is when someone opens non-purple portals or dont kill what is coming thru the portal then my threat skills pull in a mob along with demo and its usually death. Healers - if you see random mobs hanging around go directly to demo and heal the tank as with threat generation the mob will soon be on the tank

When I get Edemo with my tank I usually post "I'll tank demo, need one healer to keep on me like glue" in the raid chat and I only get one healer on me like half the time. The other half they are so poor at healing that even with 3 r13 tactical and 2 r 12 tactical and no rusted iron legging equipped they can't keep my 700+k tank from dying. And yes my tanks important stats are capped for ToMM or IC.

Don't get me started on the peeps that won't listen when 3 people call out to open purple only...

Yup. Having a healer stay with the tank makes a difference because of Demogorgon's 'dailies'. L0L People seem to think all tanks are unkillable machines which is often true but not in these zones where we are 'leveled down' to the content. Still completed an epic demo with only 8 people because everyone did their job. Of course, the DPS in that group was amazing as well. At least we tanks have a use in Epic demo unlike Tiamat which I just feel like I'm carried mostly - same with other TRIALS like CDOG.
