I'm wondering that too.
Mostly cos I have things to say about it.
Like.

"Why has the spawn of daily rares been stopped? The whip in the small Skara Brae hut is no longer spawning, neither are the smith rares in the barrels in the Smith Shop on Buccaneer's Den. Will they come back soon, if ever?"
I passed this one on to the dev team - I don't have a solid answer, but Draconi has a theory, and it's being investigated.

It hasn't stopped. I got a whip from Skara only last week. Only you have to prime the barrels first by opening them, or in the case of the smith rares, taking out the junk stuff.

"Why is my pet not listening to me?"
QA is getting a number of bug reports to this effect, and wanted to remind everyone of a key fact - your pet cannot hear commands if you whisper them. You have to say them normally in order for the pet to respond properly.

Pets in KR can't hear whispers. They never have done since the client was launched. Pets in 2D hear them just fine, mine were obeying my whispered commands last night, less than 12 hours ago.
