Maybe you should check your facts before posting, as half your statement is total inaccurate.
The third prize, the panda, as stated in
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miniature_Panda
is a minuture of Ling Wong who appears in a quest on Shing Jea Island
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/The_Red_Frog
Therefore the third prize does have something to do with the Guild Wars Universe, and seeign as its the only appearnce of a Panda in it it is extremely rare compared to other pets. It is also another reference to Anchorman, as the Kind of a Big Deal title track is too.

I dont care about bloody events or prices.specialy useless RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up minipets.! FIX the bloody bugs anet!... and 7 heros pls ^_^

At first I thought the OP was joking, I mean who would complain if the grand prize was this rare pet versus that? I made my little joke about my favorite mini. Then I realized that it is serious and I was truly shocked at the level of whine involved. You sir are the champion crybaby. Dude, get a grip.
I think I have to agree with stolen souls:
"Poor Anet...can't help but feel bad for them sometimes. No matter what they do the ingrates find something (anything) to complain about. :/ "

So, the OP knows '200 people that would prefer mini panda over Kanaxi or Vizu'
Perhaps the majority of the other 1,000,000 players would prefer it the other way round.

QFT .. all i can say on this one.
reetkever
Ehhh what?
Why are you even complaining or making a thread on this?
I mean... It's all a matter of personal preference... You know 200 people who like panda better, but I bet I could find 200 people who like Kanaxai better. And what does it even matter if you don't actually win the prize anyway...
If you won the first prize, and you only got an access code to a Miniature Pig, while the winners of the 2nd-9th prizes all got miniature Panda, 100K, a new computer and a box of chocolate, you'd have a reason to complain... But that isn't the case :P
Also, from your point of view... Look at it this way: 'More people like panda's'... right? A-Net gives away more panda's than Kanaxai's as a prize, so more people would be happy. GG

Yeah, the big problem with the OP's arguement is that the Kanaxi mini is way rarer then the panda (how many Kanaxi are there now... 16?). Thus, the Kanaxi is way more valuable. If you really wanted a panda and got the Kanaxi, you could sell the Kanaxi and buy like 5 pandas.

IT IS BECAUSE IT'S A NO FEE GAME, THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL EVEN PLAYING/BUYING IT!!! (note: I said many not all) Telling people to go play WoW is just silly... If I wanted to play WoW, I would, wouldn't I?
But just because I'm choosing GW over WoW(for whatever reason), doesn't mean I should shut up and take it up the *** !!! It is a good thing that there are people like the OP that complain, complain, complain. If not for people like that, no interesting, new things would happen to this game.
While I really dont give a damn about minipets, and I think they are one of the worst things that happened to GW since it's release, I want to repeat myself again, and say THANK YOU to those who constantly complain. You guys are what makes this game better! Thank you for NOT putting up with the mediocrity and the will/desire to come in the forums and say your piece.

Remember when people were whining that only Asian regions got all these mini-pets?
Why are people whining when non-asian regions are given a chance at it??
WTF is wrong with you people??!?!?!?
If Anet didn't give you a chance at it you complain.
Anet gives you a chance at it, you complain.
Dear god....thats the kind of shit that demoralizes the people who are trying to make you happy.
Every single step of the way you fight and whine and complain. Every positive action, every negative action. It all gets the same response, whine whine whine.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time....
I think they handled it well. 1 grand prize gets the uber rare mini, 20 others get the panda. This means Kanaxi stays rare (that makes what, 17 or so?) keeping the collectors happy and there are more pandas running around (personally, I see pandas aaallllll the time, there were 5 in Kamalag the other day at one time) You win a pet you don't want? Let us assume you DO win the grand prize. Sell Kanaxi , buy a few pandas from the profit, give em to your friends. Win Win

Everything here is taken with a pinch of salt.

There really is only ONE legitimate complaint anyone should be allowed to make.
That complaint are/is the exclusion:
Eligibility (location): Entries will be accepted from legal residents of the United States (excluding the State of Rhode Island, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, military installations and commonwealths), Canada (excluding Quebec), Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. (Canadian residents will be required to answer an additional mathematical question in order to claim their prize.)
Im pretty sure its because of legal/technical reason, but thats the only thing about this contest worth complaining about.

The OP could have worded his post better, but I too find it weird that the #1 prize is Kanaxai, and the #3 prize could be a panda or island guardian.
I think the mini panda is more coveted than the mini Kanaxai so following that logic I'd say, Panda for prize 1, and um...kanaxai, Visu, Island Guardian should be given out....ah who cares I stopped reading after seeing Panda.
Also, panda plays an important role in GW history, as it had been shown in a picture in Chapter 2's game manual. However, the Panda is sacred in Asia so Anet in their infinite wisdom, decided sending in a sacred pet to it's death over and over again would be insulting to some people of the Asian persuasian. Hence, ppl have been hawt to get 1 since it had previously been denied.

This is a joke you know...
LOL
EDIT:
All the peeps with teh ecto want Panda. Kanaxi is noway near as popular. I know quite a few people who sold their Kanaxi to get Panda.
I am sure most people here dont know anyone with the ecto required to buy them, dont know their value, dont know who owns them or is selling them etc.
Rare minis are all going to be common anyway so doesnt really matter numbers they releasing for this competition thing.

This is a holiday contest involving carved pumpkings.... and those are great prizes for the contest. Not only that the mouse (#1 prize) is very expensive.
The op sounds like this is the prize for winning the PvP ATS or something..

How do you pronounce Kanaxi anyways? is it can-axe-ee or kah-nax-ee or can-axe-eye??
And who is Vizu? Is that the Assasin from factions? Cause in my manual her name is Nika....so confused.

And Vizu is the Assassin who struck down Shiro the first time, two hundred years before the events of Factions.

The Mini Vizu is actually a mini-Nika. Since Vizu is a ghost. :P

i see thanks for clearing that up guys!

Some of you guys are a joke. You claim to know the prices of these pets but you don't. The prices are volatile and vary from person to person. Case in point, I know for a fact a panda was sold in game for 12000 ectos, yes that is right 3 zeros. I know owners who continue to get offered 250 armbraces (duping anyone?). How about that beetle that sold for 400 armbraces? Do you guys know how many ectos that is? In any event, it is hard to put an exact price on these pets due to a number of reasons ranging from personal preference to remnants of the duping saga. Anyways, just clarifying........
