Miniature improvements

I would love to see some additional features for mini's. I only have 2 right now and won't get any more because I do not see the sense in them just circling around or following me.
It would be great to give them some more features, e.g. if two of the same kind "meet" or run into each other, they could start a little greeting animation (my Azura could give another Azura a high five?). If 2 are natural enemies, how about having them starting a staged min-fight? If there's only one around, have it run towards other players and greet them. 3 or more could start a random dance or a conga line.
Well you get the idea. There's a lot you could do with them and it would make it certainly more reasons to own one except for the status they represent currently.

i like the general idea of it, altho as much fun as a conga line is i doubt it could work unless they were humanoid minis.

also it would create alot of unnesicary work for anet especially at this time.

but i wouldnt mind seeing sothing of the sort.

especially like the highfive between the asuaras

It seems that miniatures can't fight. It has been already stated by Grey.
But other interactions would be cool. It would be nice to see mini asuras gather when their owners are near each other.

You reminded me of an old thread of mine.

And looked at it and reworked it.

IMHO minpets, however "cool" they are, are nothing more than a gimmick with miminal impact on the game. There are far more important things that need to be fixed, balanced, and changed, before adding something as rather pointless and useless as this.

Again, this is just imho.

/signed, that would be cool. Viva minipet anyone?

How about if you have the mini of your profession active (need some monk minis) you get +1 to your primary attribute, 20% chance?

id really love, when minipets would receice a pokemon-like concept.
A Minipet-Arena would be awesome, with Minipet-Tournaments XD

only impossible with the ugly human minipets.
Minipets could receive then the skills, with that the normal monster versions fight with, or thei get totally different new own skills with own balancing, somthing how race bugs got own skills for the minigame (err event game, god how i hate it, that we can play this only at events -.-, why the hell lets us anet not play race bugs whenever we want to)

Id find also awesome, when Mini-Pets would fight for us in pve, something like a invulnerable little helper, whihc could grow up over time and could become more powerful and become a pet for everyone.
How would i love my mini-kuunavang, when it would grow up to the size of a saltspray dragon ^^

An other nice thing would be, when minipets could wear some bags for the player, so that we get some more space for loot or so.
or some minipet unique emotes would be awesome

Minipets were ever so or so the better "PETS" XD
I realy hope, in GW2 will exist a Ranger similar profession than, that has instead of animal Pets > monster/demon pets like the mini pets and naturally the halberd weilding dragoon (dragon rider) must come XD

*dreams*

Personally, I like the idea someone else said about minis picking up assigned loot. That alone would make them worth having. Then the AFKers at the D. Festival wouldn't have gotten robbed so badly during the gift drops, too.

would be kinda cool, watching some asura pooling in an area having a coffe break, even a smoke. depending if their owner was a real jerk, have'em break out a flask of some egg'nog lol
