Considering that Minis seem to have people in an uproar because they can be sold for gold... Why not have a Mini Trader a bit like the Material Traders seen around town? That should end the problem of people constantly spamming for minis because they can just get them from a trader for a nominal amount of money. They could be put on the same programming as the dye and materials are, where the prices vary between kinds. This might lower the amount of minipet spam seen in towns around the Guild Wars worlds.
The Disguise Idea is golden. I would love to run through Ascalon City dressed as a Charr. Whee.
2nd Birthday Ideas?

I believe we have talked about this before Gaile- But I'd like something that isn't tradeable. Theres no point in having them as birthday presents if anybody can get(buy) one before their birthday.

if there is a new minipet to be had, Id suggest an extra bag for them, only usable for minipets..sort of like the storage upgrade or materials.
I loved the idea of mini rabbit, by the way. While we are at pre-searing beasts...how about a swarm of bees or butterflies?

It would be very nice if the zodiac sign of the character can be a minipet. Secretly i prefer the chinese zodiac because it includes rabbits. 
I bet you Gaile would agree in that.
But i also like the idea to have your character as miniversion.

but even cooler as a "dying nightmare" would be an "azure shadow"
yeah, i guess the AZURE SHADOW would be my favourite
mini-grentchs and mini-glinth could also be funny
lou edit: a new idea came to my mind
what about a emote having a hologram party with all your other pve-chars in your account and they are partying around yourself, maybe just like the /dancenew emotes of the faction-collectors-edition-assassins-and-ritualists, dont know if this is possible but i would love to see my other chars as holo-versions dancing around
MrTumnus
-Whatever it is, please make it non-tradeable.
-I'd prefer no minipets, unless they're unique to character and not to be tradeable (but transferable across the account)
-I do like the disguise idea.
-Return to Pre-searing. Since those that are turning 2 years old are presumeably Tyrian Natives (Canthans were born no earlier than sometime last year right?), have the characters enter a different version of Presearing not accessible to Pre characters but...I dunno..New Ascalon or something; A rebuilt version of it. Maybe with some more story of what happened to Gwen. Or possibly access to Arah before it was destroyed, have it be a sort of town/outpost with no portals just need to talk to mhenlo (since he seems to have his hand involved in everything somehow) to get there.
-not sure how this'd work when Canthans and elonians celebrate theirs...
-maybe an /emote like the deer or phoenixes they have in pvp but a different type. Like a Rurik (since he never saw his ppl get to Kryta)
-make the pigs stackable for the love of dwayna.
-I also like the idea of a non-tradeable signet of mini (pokeball idea), though only bosses/enemies would be affected unless you can cast it on anything. (mini gwen's would then be very impressive to see; 2 yr old pre-sear character?)
-A non-tradeable horadric cube that can merge 3 healing potions and 3 mana potions into a rejuv...wait..nm
-A journal, so you can write notes on certain mission/quests, reminders, in-game tips, stuff like that without having to alt-tab to wiki/notepad/blog/guru.
(tangent) This should probably go into the suggestion forum, but I was thinking it'd be nice to be able to read game bulletins (the ones on the login screen) in game, like from a NPC in town (Town crier in Ascalon, Kamadan, KC, Shing Jea, and/or LA). (/tangent)
-Or maybe an armcrest/tattoo showing your native nation (Lions for Tyria, Dragons for Kryta, and um...Flamingos? for Elona) that would fit on your left shoulder. A subtle way to show your character's age, but noticeable enough in game.

Hmm.... a mission back in time maybe? like a commando raid? that would be cool.But why not in a normal presearing? Just make sure the time travelers cant trade in pre cause its forbidden.Expanded presearing would be so cool!Why can they have skill trainer there? Noob Island and Istan got skill trainers and alot better armor!!!! I'd love to have 1 skill trainer in Ascalon even if i have to pay 5k for a single skill!!!

if I HAD to get another mini pet
a mini reef lurker
a mini jahai rat (yeah yeah look at the avatar ok?)
the mini aaxtle is a good idea, as are the imps, the djinns and elementals (boulder, ice golems etc).....and of course the smite (it would be green I think).

I would rather have something that can't be sold for a second birthday. It would be nicer if there wasn't an increase of "WTS [insert minipet]" spam in the local chat. Be it a new hat, weapon or anything fancy that's customized for the character, I'm sure Anet can think of a few ideas with their creativity.
Angamar
This *may* have been suggested somwhere in the preceeding 24 pages [I only read the first 4 pages before posting this], but what if rather than giving people a new Mini... you gave THAT CHARACTER the ability to display more than one Mini at a time [and this could be extended to the number of birthdays that character has had... thus if someone had a 5 year-old character, that character could display up to 5 mini-pets at once].
You can throw in another mini for each birthday too, if you want, but this idea would give people a way to "Display" the age of their characters [which, I suspect, would go over very well indeed].

forgot who suggested it (SO many ideas) but please, please PLEASE do NOT give more people divine aura. As someone who bothered to pre ordered the original GW CE i would feel kinda stupid for paying that extra money now wouldn't i? besides, it's kinda cool when i see someone with glowing hands like myself
P.S vote no to minipets! need something special, like that disguises idea, thats awesom-o

Give us a /conga emote that summons spirits that do a conga - and your character gets a special glow(halo maybe?) when they are playing the conga drums
I'd live with that

I still really like the idea of a special dye, that makes your armor or equipment look like the ghostly mans or batik printing or something like that.
But..is there even a chance Anet would NOT go for minipets?

As I said before Anet would shoot me and a lot of others in the back giving out Auras due to the fact somebody is 2 years old.
For people who want something glowy get an IDS or something
I just hope if Anet goes for mini pets they put in the option so you can pick a pet you like and somewhere to put them... I got like 4 hydras:s I can start a farm if they keep this up.
Saw something about a journal would be nice to write something down ingame yeah, but an update of the friends network so you could add some Personal Info, like names, wheres somebody from? (I know like 3 other Guinevere's).
But I don't think this should be a birthday gift though. This should be for all players made accessible
[edit] Ah found my post

Besides that I'd say if you want the 'special' aura, just google online for a retail seller, theres still a few out there that sell the Prophecies CE pack. I do remember a quote from the FAQ saying something Divine Aura will only be available for people who bought the CE Prophecies Edition. So you would 'shoot' those owners in the back, adding DA to non CE owners. - Death Counter reset: this one I'd like to see. My idea would be something like they get survivor r1 at time of the reset. Why? Looking to the same char for 2 years would be a test of survival itself I'd say. After that you'd have to follow the same path as a 'normal' survivor would do. So lets say character A has 2.231.993 exp he would need gain the same amount as a normal rank 1 survivor to get rank 2. - The new mini pets & where to put them... Ok, if you guys wanna add more pets, fine with me. Just 2 minor details: First off, please add the option so you can PICK your 2nd BD pet. Or something you need to check 3 and click a button and you get 1 of the 3. Even though option 1 is fair, everybody asks something for his birthday and hopes he gets it? Don't you? << also should keep the 'peace' on mini pet prices. More on this in my last part of the post. Second thing, add some extra storage space(tab) or bag for these mini pets. They do take a lot of room in our limited storage we already have. I mean if a person gets 1 full set of each campaign (the 15k armor look) + core FoW Armor (lets say 4 a set, cuz not everybody has masks), thats 16 spots taken (if you keep the stuff on that char) meaning you'd lose almost 2 bags for just your good looking armor you collected in 2 years. - Adding new mini pets, would rock indeed. At least put the 'prophecies' heros in there. So you can have your mini Cynn, Aidan, Devona, Mhenlo, Eve (ect ect) with you. I'd love that and I'm sure a lot of others would to. (Non sellable(MUST!!!), but transferable in that account only if possible) - Heros: A 2 year old character has a new quest, able to get that in Lions Arch or Kamadan (Yes I did notice this sucks for somebody without access to Nightfall, but I assume most people have it). Wouldn't be a hardcore quest, just something do able to obtain a special Hero like the heros from Prophecies. Why just Prophecies? I still think this was the best story till now and 2 year olds, sorry but those are Tyrian born. So you could add Cynn as hero and customize her always annoying Firestorm or make Devona a swords warrior. Since they are already out there, idk if it's possible to make them hero's. Due the fact that non 2 year olds, can not custom them, as you can. But everybody will see and know you're 2 years old. (character wise people) << I favor this! - Something worth Money: I would like that idea aswel, but I still think doing quests and just level/hunt/farm is the way to bring in money. Not wait 2 years for a crapload of ectos. But thats just my way of thinking and I know theres people out there with 2 years of play in collectors armor so... I would understand. - New Title (it has been said) - Just a new title, with something to do so people can see you're 2 years old. All the hows and whats atm, I have no idea. [edit] I like the idea of thats been suggested a little back... Some sort of spamfree town where 2 year olds can hang out. No sales chat there or w/e. I'm pretty sure that most of the 2 year old characters aren't spammy little newbies. Of course you can only go to that town with your title on display which has to do with age, non maxable. Nothing with EXP. I don't mind an EXP title but it would to totally useless since I can make more exp in a couple months farming then with a 2 year old that you always used to scout, run around w/e. Exp doesn't show the age of a character. Also why I'm pushing the option so you can pick your mini pet at your second birthday is to avoid INSANE prices like with the bone dragon and gold pets, HoD swords and such rare items. The mini pig actions was hilarious, because some people bought a pig for about 30-60p and Pig drops in and gives a free mini-pig, I couldn't stop laughing... I have the money to spend some cash on mini pets, because I have my armors already, inc most of my heros. But I'd rather waste them on my titles I'm working on. |

Dont care about Divine aura.CE owners can keep it.All i want is the boss aura... yellow body glow especialy for my warrior.He can beat any warrior boss one on one so i think he deserves it after 2 years and finishing all 3 chapters.

Contribute, add something to argue about instead of plainly say: *** CE owners, I only care about my warrior....
My view about this is very very simple: if you wanted some DA, you should have bought CE prop. in the beginning like some did.
Grubcat
I read the first few pages when they were posted, and did not read the next 20 today, so perhaps these are duplicate suggestions.
How about a mini Kraken? That would be my first choice, and a mandragor slither, especially if it did slither.
I hope that the two-year presents would be new pets only, no repeats- so that you could tell, 1st year set, 2nd year set, etc.
