BlizzCon 2008 Bear Exploit

Hey community. I was cleaning up my WoW account when I found out that on my bank alt I still have the mount "Big Blizzard Bear" in my bags. Of course it's used, but it's
still in my bags so I was thinking maybe I should take advantage of this and do something with it.

I've read about shady pet trades where people trade Mini Tyrael for Murky's etc (in-game item, not codes). So I was wondering, does anyone know how I can use this? I mean,
I want to trade or sell this mount, the only way I can get up in my head is to transfer of the character to X account then learn the mount on X account. You'll receive the mount and
the FoS.

Anyone got any ideas?

Destroy it and then use the Item Recovery?

[Toldorn]

Try and send it to me :P

How would that even help? The item is "Binds on Account", even if I destroy it and restore it I am back on square one lol

Make a second battle.net with your name I'll call that bnet2, then make a new account on your current battle.net(acc2). Send the item to the new account (acc2) and transfer that account to the new battl.net (bnet2). Then sell the new bnet.

What do I get in return?!

That's what I was thinking, and if you do a name change on the battle.net account (the newly created one) with one of the services offered here, perhaps Sephiroth's unbanning service you can put the character on your own account and learn the mount, thus it being account-wide.

Correct?

Yes, basically follow Strath2121's steps to get it on another battle.net and then the account can 'learn' it. Before shelling out for a name change service you can try my method for free:

1. Create a new Battle.net in the same Surname as the Battle.net of character you want to transfer. But for the first name make something stupid but not too offensive like, Zombie, Dr, Derp. Something that is not a real first name.
2. Add a WoW account to the appropriate expansion level.
3. Transfer the character to the new battle.net with the fake first name.
4. Use the above form to request a Battle.net name change to your own, attach all the appropriate documents. Blizzard should see it’s not a genuine first name and process the change. Adding a note saying something like:“I didn’t know my name would appear in the battle.net friends list, so I used an avatar. It’s a bit embarrassing and a friend told me it could be difficult authenticate the account if something happened”
5. Ta Da new Battle.net name.

Also I would be very interested in this

Which form are you refering to? I might do something like this with my Blizzard Bear pet and Moonkin Hatchling (idk if they are worth anything)

[gingerkid123]

Is this something that you can do with another battle.net with a different name as well? If I say the account was stolen and that I want to move it to a new bnet account?
