Spirit of Competition was available during summer of 2008 and it never dropped for me. Supposedly there was a 1 in 8 chance of getting it in the mail but sometimes RNG can suck badly. I think I did about 100 tries and nada.

Checked the trader post today, what do I see? Spirit of Competition! For the next 31 days you got time to buy this pet before it becomes unavailable again.

I refused to do any kind of PvP back in 2008, so naturally I didn't get it..

It was rumored it would be a pet that would be available at every olympic, so I looked for it in the winter of 2010, summer of 2012 etc etc, but was sorely disappointed, when it never reappeared..

I was on vacation from 31/7 to 7/8 this years, but the first thing I did when I logged in at 8/8 when I got home, was to go to Orgrimmar as fast as possible and bought this baby... It's now MINE FOREVER!!!

Tell me about it!

I was annoyed for years because I actually *did* get the pet fair & square when the event was happening but it was one of many that I deleted for space (y'know, back then space was actually pretty scarce especially if you didn't have a lot of gold and had a bunch of collectables like I did) my rationale was that they said pets obtained through quests and what not would all be reclaimable and I thought even if there was a mistake, at least the event would be coming back in 2012...

For some reason when we got the collection tab my Spirit of Competition was NOT there. I sent in tickets and showed that I had achievements which proved I was (a) active back then, (b) doing PvP back then, and (c) had some PvP achievements that were clearly gotten from winning matches and none of them could help me. I was super annoyed.

Luckily, they finally made it available again.

As I was never doing PVP, I never knew about this until collections came in and I saw it on the "wanted" tab on here. I'm sooooo glad we've got it :D

it was actually available in wow classic TBC during the olympics, I felt the same and thought they would never make it available again but they ended up doing that, i think they also made the drop guaranteed after one bg instead of a 1/8 chance
