    Am I wrong to think the market for taming whistles just opened up real wide after the new taming revamp? With the whistles only good for one tame and not being reusable I have found myself being very frugal with my taming whistles. Collars I expect to burn through but I guess I have gotten spoiled with being able to level up using only 4 or 5 whistles through the lower taming skills but now I find myself only taming the higher end pets since this change. 2 silver ingots per whistle may just be easier to purchase than the cost of gathering the mats and then crafting the whistle.

    Temporary fix for what? Were people actually complaining about being able to reuse their taming whistles?

    yes. the original complaint was people accidentally writing over pets they wanted to keep.

    People complained that they would tame over a high level pet with a low level pet, just absent minded people wanting the world to protect them from their own mistakes.

    This sort of thing happens. All it takes is one small distraction. I remember when the repair and salvage buttons were right next to each other and the disasters that happened. If something can be done to prevent such disasters (and people potentially quitting because) then it should be done. They just need to make sure that the fix doesn't also negatively impact people.

    My hope is that it is a quick fix to make them lockable. I was one of the people in stream saying that when a person is working on the taming skill being able to use a whistle multiple times was beneficial. But if this isnt a quick fix the whistles will not be cheap. 2 timber to make a pole plus the silver isnt as easy to aquire as it used to be. I hope it goes fast but until then I will be only taming higher level mobs.

    For what it's worth, I don't believe people on the stream WERE asking to make them non-reusable. It seemed to me that the clear consensus at the time was to make them not overwrite IF locked, and that important distinction just got lost along the way between the chat, Chris, and whichever dev got assigned to implement it. (Although, as others have said, they are now reassuring folks that the if-locked part will be implemented next week.)
