Finite Items

i wouldnt consider myself to be a hardcore collector by any means but i would like to know that certain items might be attainable for me sometime down the road.

what im referring to are the limited number of certain minipets. mini kanaxai, panda, island guardian, naga, oni, etc.

i know of some people in-game that have offered obscene amounts of gold [ie. 1500ectos + 50-100 armbraces] for one of the more sought after asian minis with no success in attaining one.

as it stands now, i have absolutely no chance in hell to get one for myself because #1. i dont have that type of money lying around and #2. the people that do have them just arent willing to part with them.

im not asking for a random free draw but maybe anet could have another contest to add some more of them to the game or have them drop from the hoh chest. anet could limit the amount of hoh drops to 2-4 per pet a month.

at that rate they would still command super high prices but at least id know that the opportunity to get one down the road would exist.

i have the same feeling as Korcan, however it is really sad to see this happens, cuz of certain number of ebayers has effected the price in no matter what, so i hope anet should do something bout the player who purchased the gold 1st,then consider of may little more number s of those pets. speak of the price of those pets, i mean who in this game that either farm24/7 or trading 24/7 would have that many of armbrace? i bet no one, really, i known a player who purchased gold and paid 100k+1500e+125 armbrace for a Panda mini pet, and it is bout 12000 ectos, for which person in this game, even u saving from beging of the game, i bet u dont even close to this number of ectos. so plz Anet, do something bout it, the enconomy has been in chaos since the HM came out, dont push it further, the causual players(collectors etc) cant handle it anymore

I think having minipets drop from HoH chest is a bad idea... well really the whole chest itself is a bad idea, but thats a whole other point. Anyways, I do, however, agree that they should be made available in the US. either trough a drawing, a creativity contest, a festival, or something along those lines...

I don't think they announced what the mini pet reward was from the brand the boss contest and for all we know they could be a mini panda. But before they release the rewards they need to fix the list because last time I checked the same name was on there twice.
