What am I doing wrong? There is nothing, absolutely nothing I hate more than that bloody pet gnome, which never shows up for me.

What you’re doing wrong is expecting for a low-percentage-odds event to happen. I don’t see very many from my own PvP play, and I spend a decent (but not obscene) amount of time in that mode.

I see a fair number of pest rescues from my guild, but I’m also part of a top PS4 guild with several players who top the weekly leaderboard on a regular basis. So they’re the ones doing the work for me and I just vulture their efforts when it’s one of the handful of pests I don’t have fully maxxed.

Yeah, my expectations may be off for the low chance. Any clue why they made the chances so low tho? Is it because it is kinda splitted between the 30 players to find one?

I will surely change my tactic soon, and play less PvP.

It’s probably a low percentage chance to spawn a Gnome in general combined with the lower likelihood that a Pest Gnome will get chosen from that pool. The latter is probably a fair-odds wager once you succeed in the “first pull”, but it’s still likely a similar experience to trying to find a Hoard Mimic.

Team, I just found a pet gnome and it only gave me 2 pet food, and I know then I wouldn’t get a pet, and we did not have any pet active at all, it is also 50 minutes from daily resets.

Please don’t tell me that it did not get activated cuz it is less than a hour from the reset and today it is a wedensday pet running..

I am so bloody done with this, just drive over me or something.

Could be a coincidence but blood frenzy level three fights tend to up the odds. Again could be a coincidence.
