pets and mounts
has always been a pastime for a large number of World of Warcraft
players. Once achievements were added to the game these collectors
had something new to set their focus on. With Cataclysm coming ever
closer what will change for these avid collectors, and what (if
anything) will they have to look forward to? While nothing can be
known for sure until Cataclysm is released we can make an educated
guess on what is to come by looking at past expansions and minor
clues given by Blizzard.

Without a doubt a
large
majority of World of Warcraft players find themselves drawn to the
allure of collecting, sometimes for prestige, for money, or even just
because they have nothing better to do on that particular day. At
first only pets and mounts were available to sate the hunger of these
collectors, however Blizzard (probably noticing how addicting
collecting could be) later added in the achievement feature with
rewards for completing certain achievements. These achievements not
surprisingly appealed to those who already enjoyed collecting, and
served to draw in those who had been uninterested in the pets and
mounts game.
