I can't believe this! I have had 4 characters get their one year birthday present and I have THREE SIEGE TURTLES!!!! (The other one is a jade armor.)
Yet another reason to hate minipets.
This is so unfair. I know the flamers will be quick to call these "free gifts" and to tell me "don't complain".
But it's just one more thing that (for me) makes the Guild Wars experience less special as time goes on.
To quote John McClane:
"Feeling pretty ****ing unappreciated, Al..."

Got ANOTHER Siege Turtle!!!

I agree that it would be nice if the random generator didn't give us repeats... But it is a free gift. We're not flaming, just basing our responses on logic and reason.

You wouldn't be moaning if you got all bone dragons or w/e would you? no, I didn't think so. You are pissed because you didn't get any of the more expensive ones to sell.

50% of my first year minis were Siege Turtles, and I still have 1 more coming in about a week. >.> Turtles aren't nearly the worst possible pet to get.

I would indeed complain if they were all bone dragons (what is w/e?). But at least I'd have something valuable to sell. My point is that of all the possible minipets, it's not fair that three out of four are the same. If you think that's fair, then that's your opinion. This is mine. The game would be more fun for me if I didn't get the same thing three out of four times.

Yep.. All I've gotten are Jade Armors.

I think they should of made it so you cant get 2 of the same miniature in a row on an account or something like that or maby highten(or double?) the chance of getting a mini one colour higher for a different characters 1st or 2nd birthday.

I think the "random" number generators in GW's coding are broken. Ended up having four Fiery Gladius' drop in a row during Kodonur Crossroads while playing on my Rit.
They were all blue.
None of them had a suffix mod.
Three of them had the same damage range (13-20), but different gold values.
Weird. Something seems wrong.

Sorry...I feel your pain...but since the 2nd year pets came out, 1st year ones are cheap and undesirable anyway...
Just a little salt in the wound.

all mine have been temple guardians...they remind me of a dog I once had that I had to put down myself because I couldn't afford the vet's fee...thanks for rubbing salt in THAT wound you insensitive poops...c'mon I want something else....waaaaaaaaah! O.K. The part about the dog is true, but I don't really care what I get....just kinda nice to open the inventory and see a gift there. I would prefer to have something I didn't get before, but I'll just be tickled either way....look...a present....ooooooooh, aaaaaaaaah!
Sir Skullcrasher
I can't wait for my 2nd birthday which is coming up soon!! 
Edgar The Crosseyed
Please stop complaining... i know its not cool to get the same pet over and over.. But its just chance!! Some pets are more common so its naturall to get douplicates!
As a child i always got the same Flippo's and Soccer cards! Just deal with it!

i had to wait until 2nd year bday gifts started coming out to get my 1st year gift and by then my friend had given me a gift, a siege turtle. i got 2 bday gifts from GW, 2 seige turtles. i happily traded them to guildmates for a necrid horseman and a hydra. i didnt care what i got cause the unwrapping was fun and i still got something kewl out of it anyway =D go go minipets!!
Sir Skullcrasher
I hope that I could get a Mini Dijnn!
TheHaxor
my last 3 minis were devourers =/
other ones were troll, turtle, fungal wallow (crap, although I like the turtle)
epic failure by the random generator imo

I've got lucky with mini pets i guess, 100K from my first jade armour, kept my 2 fungle wallow things, 300k from Mini water djinn, keeping my thorn wolf atm.
400k for nothing isnt bad.

And to the OP, all I can really say is trade the damn things. :/
Kool Pajamas
Stop complaining and trade it for something else.
Aera Lure
i have only ever gotten white minipets, and that is across nine characters, so: boo hoo. I feel your pain. Like others have said, hey, its free, and you can even sell the white minipets. At least you used to be able to. I sold all mine and now await 2nd year ones very soon. Fully expect white ones. 
aaje vhanli
At least 2nd year whites are better minis than the rare ones lol

They need to change the system so that characters with high amounts of XP (showing they play the char a lot) have better chances of getting a rare pet. My first char who I've played A LOT got a wind rider on the 2nd bday, which was also the 2-year anniversary of GW. A few weeks later I logged onto my friend's account who gave up on the game after a couple months, isn't even level 20, and has a grand total of 30 hours of play time, and he got a Lich. I'm not complaining since I got to sell the Lich, but it just doesn't seem right.

I don't think that'll work.
You could farm with one char and get loads of xp, but play it a lot less than your all others.

we can call each other whiners or ingrates or whatever, but the heart of the matter is the random number generator which seems to get stuck on certain numbers more than it should

3.7mil xp on my sin.
620 hours logged on my sin alone.
Given away greens, golds and other stuff for free to friends, guildies and even strangers alike.
Birthday Mini? Fungal Wallow. In a sense, its fitting, since no one likes Sins anyways (but still better than Mesmers!), but you would THINK that ANet would come up with a system slightly better than what they've got.
I mean, my teenage brother could program a better algorithm for a number generator that took into account vast numbers of variables to produce more "appropriate" results, compared to what I've seen in this game.
And when are people going to stop lambasting others for their opinions? This is a discussion forum, where people come to voice their opinions. The "leave if you don't like it" policy so many members seem to have is quite... well, retarded, given the environment.

on both my first Bdays so far I got 2 whiptails.
Im not looking forward to my second Bday. I only want a Aatxe, Mandragor, Djinn or Gwen. I dont like the others.
