Epic site - your efforts have got me totally hooked on pet battles. Thank you so much :)

I just joined today to be able to say Thank You Very Much for your site and efforts of those who contributed strategies and comments. I ignored pet battling since its inception but Legion finally got me curious. With this site, I managed to complete Family Familiar! I feel so fortunate to have found so much information in the easiest to use appearance. Gratitude to all who helped.

Love the site, and I want to thank you all for your hard work.
I can't seem donate. I just get a page that takes me straight to pay pal, but no option to donate

Hey! Thank you so much :)
I fixed that pesky button, thanks for letting me know!

I wanted to say thank you to Aranesh, the development team, and all the kind contributors at Xu Fu for these amazing strategies. Pet battling became so complicated and frustrating solo. There is no way I could have accomplished what I did without your efforts.

It saddens me that people such as yourselves, who receive no money for your work, have done more for my success in WoW pet ventures than the Blizzard company itself. Blizzard takes in $12-15 US each month, and has received hundreds of dollars from me over the years. Yet after years of financial and personal commitment to their products, Blizzard cares nothing about my success in their world, particularly when it comes to pet battles and pet collections. Low drop rates, unspoken pet spawning times, and useless customer service help ticket responses pushed me away from the game. If Blizzard had even 20% of the passion for WoW fans that Xu Fu staff demonstrates, I might have stayed. They do not, and I doubt they ever will. As a result of this, I am leaving WoW with no plans to return.

Xu Fu was one of the pest parts of my WoW journey. You all listened to the community, took feedback under advisement, and constantly sought to improve both the user interface and site content. You linked with other sites and we're not threatened by criticism. Cheers to you, Aranesh, and all the other staff. All the best to you in your current and future ventures. Thank you.

Hey Gatekus,

I was very moved by your words, and it took me a while to find the right words. I hope I found them now: Thank you. Thank you for your immense praise towards me and all Xu-Fu contributors. You are right, passion for WoW and all its pets is the driving force behind this page.
Your words for Blizzard are quite harsh, and I do not intend to defend them, that's not my place and not my task ^^ I met a number of their employees over time, and for those individuals, I can vouch that their passion for this game is at least equal to my own.
If that were not the case, most likely I would not invest my own passion into this project myself.

Be that how it may, I am glad to have been part of the positive side for you, and wish you also all the best for yourself!

Great site!

Minor addition suggestion though: Since the site has my pet collection info AND needed pets/levels for strategies, I'd love if it suggested which pets I should level, increase quality of and/or obtain next based on which is used the most in strategies.

Like just from my browsing, it seems the recommended pet for me to obtain would be the Zandalari Anklebiter.

That will come. Not too soon I'm afraid. The collection import is quite young and was the last big feature I added. Next up the battle tables will use it as well and show you which strategy you have the pets for and which not. Your suggestion will come afterwards :-)

This site used to be mobile friendly... now its just no menu or any navigation on the top anymore. So, I'll have to alt+tab out to look at guides for now.

Hey Kuuro!
The page was never designed for mobile :S Just recently I edited the menu to be more mobile friendly. You should see a "Menu" button that expands into the actual menu when tapping on it.
Can you please tell me what device you are using?

Love the site!!! I use an iPhone 6+ and recently I do not see any menu tab and when I search for battles nothing comes up? Again awesome site!

Ah, I see... I use iPhone 5c/Safari. There's no menu at all that's visible. Sorry for late reply!

Took a bit of playing around. The search field was blocking the menu. You should now see the Menu button though! Please give it a try :-)

Its working now.. YAY! Thanks so much for fixing.

I only came across this site in legion, but I wanted to say a massive thank you! Your site is amazing and thanks to your info, I have been able to get my family familiar and family fighter achievements. Highly recommend!

I just recently stumbled upon this site and I'm legitimately miserable that I didn't know about it sooner. I normally just default to WoWhead, but not anymore! I love this site so much. It's so crisp and clean and well put together. There's so much love put into this site it really makes me happy! Thank you to everyone who put so much into it. I hope I have the funds to donate one day to help support it. You guys deserve all that and more!
- Sincerely; a super appreciative user :P

I really like the upvote option for posts. It should save a lot of, "Me, too" and "You're right" posts (yep, I'm as guilty as anyone). I'm wondering however, if you've considered offering the option to upvote the Strategy Alternatives themselves. Most of the strategies have worked wonderfully for me, and I'd like to share that with other site users without cluttering up things with a "worked well" post. Now, I'm sure that you don't need any more projects on your plate, but it's something that popped into my mind and thought I'd throw it out there. Loving the new site more each day. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Thank you very much :-)

In fact, votes for the individual strategies are already on the roadmap :D
There's a few smaller things I want to get done before that. The next update (pretty soon, I'm more than halfway done with that) will add the legion ready checker functionality to all pages. When you are logged in and go to any section, the tables there will automatically check against your collection and tell you what pets you're missing.
After that I will do some really smaller stuff, but then I want to rework the battle tables to include more info. Mainly what breeds are required, what pets the enemy has, upvote option (^^) and some more stuff.

Will take some time, but we're getting there :-)

Thanks for responding so quickly, Aranesh. I always look forward to your new tweaks and updates. Awesome job! You rock!

<3

Love the new features. The upvote thing especially. =D one thing though - when a new comment it posted it seems to upvote it automatically. While I AM always right - it feels kinda weird having that happen. =P <3 keep up the great work fellow battlers and collectors. =)

Hey thanks a lot ! :D
The initial upvote is intended, it's your own! I went with the assumption that you (as the poster of a comment) are indeed right, and would of course upvote your own comment. Wouldn't have posted it otherwise, right? ^^

We're Live! We're Live! Hooray! Congratulations to Xu-Fu's!!! /dance

/dance :D

Hey! Nice job on the new features. Gonna explore more, jsut wanted to pass along the kudos!
