I think that there should be a new title. When that title is equiped, the aura shines around you (only in towns).

I vote a new batch of mini's. A lot of these ideas would be great to have, like improved runes of holding. That is why they definitely should not be given to players that have been around for years. They should be available from merchants to all.

I like the idea of a title to show how long you have played. It might invoke a little more respect from newer players. Though it can be abused. Also the idea of a mini-you is highly improbable. ANet would have to customize way too many mini-pets to make this probable.

Keep your thoughts coming, these are interesting for us and useful to the developers for what players would like to see in the future.

Personally, I'd like to see mini-pets be given some ability. I'd be happy if they went around during battle and picked up my gold, no I'm not saying they pick up everything, just gold. It will give them some purpose and help save me some time.

Blech I do not want to see Aura's for 2nd birthday presents....

I'd rather see some cool looking minis (or the token idea) than aura or "paragon wings" effect.

Bumping for further interest...or has this poll come to an end?

It would be really interesting to hear Gaile's views on the results (or anyone from ANet's development team for that matter).

Thanks to everyone who took part and there is still time for a last few thoughts. These may not end up being 2nd birthday presents, but the popularity of certain choices may end up being a bonus for something else.

I strongly disagree with the special Aura, though it seems through the poll, many people would like it, the reason i disagree is because i own Prophecies CE which was very hard to optain, litterally searched all online store's in my country and just one had it, apperantly it was also the last 2 in stock so i ordered both.(my bro has the other one)

I feel more people with Prophecies CE would be against this special aura, afterall CE is becoming very rare now, and not to much people have it, unless nightfall CE which a lot of people have.

A net i beg you, please let us CE owner's stay special.

New mini pets are a bad idea in my opinion.

We don't want a second go of "ZOMG YOU GOT A NOOB MINI PET!!, MYNE IS TEH PROzNESS!!" just because they got a rare one and you got a white one.

Yes, sadly it does happen. This not a complaint because I didn't get the miniautre I wanted, and I'm not whining, I'm just putting forward my views . I just believe that everyone has put time and effort into this game and we have all paid the same price, I just don't see why some should be rewarded more than others is all!

I understand that some of these ideas are unrealistic but please could we just have a present that is customized to the character.
I know a lot of people on this forum will not agree, thats fine, but thank you for reading. =}

It has been said that this aura would be different to the Prophecies CE one. The trouble is for a lot of people, they didnt get into GW soon enough to get the CE or have the money to buy it.
They'd just like something similar, but different enough so that they can be distinguished from one another.

Personally, i think it would have been fairer if ALL 3 collectors editions had the aura anyway.

Well, after everything, we did get a new mini-pet set. I admit, that many of the mini-pets are every nice, but it was clearly not the most popular choice.

The MOST popular was an aura or visual that would distinguish a two year old character and NOT be tradable.

After that came a token that allowed you to choose what you got (maybe even being able to choose your mini-pet instead of it being random).

Well, that really does wrap up this poll or any other like it. My thanks and gratitude to all those who took part.
