A lot of things have been suggested at the 1yr and 2yr birthdays. We got trade items, not very rewarding.

But collectors of prophecies got glowing hands. Something i personally hold in high regard (weirdly enough, but it shows a sort of wicked old-school'ing).

Suggestion
Give 3 year old characters a glow/sign around their character/bodypart when they do an emote. A true, subtle reward that is non-tradable.


pls sign or not-sign


@youcantseeme: I'm sorry if the suggestion came as a duplication of the collector's edition. it's more "something like"...

Frankly, I think the glowing effect should stay in the collectors edition. New mini's would be suitable for me.

I like it, 3 years is a long time for any character and it would be something unique, mini's were and are still fun, but they're so common now that the stigma has kind of worn off. Now when you open your character's birthday present it's "aww dang, only a white one?" rather than "Woah cool! A mini [w/e], that looks awsome!"

And to those who don't want to take away from the collectors edition thing it wouldn't have to, it would be entirely different in appearance than the collectors aura.

heck you could even make a special aura or emote when they do the /age emote and the character is over 3 years

While something unique like a glow would be nice, I like the 100k I get by selling the mini pet the day it comes out.

We the players turned them into what they are now. I don't believe that they were originally added as "trade items." Which is why when the first minipets came out, a lot of people wanted them to be customized.\

And I don't think that 3 year old characters should be given any sort of special aura. We've gotten minipets for the last two years, and really I think we should just continue to keep getting the same type of gifts for each birthday.

Although I wouldn't mind the collector's edition glow, I think the birthday presents should just stick with minipets. I have no idea why so many people have a problem with minipets. Either you like them and keep them, or you sell them and you end up getting money for your birthday instead. And they're not all the same, like a birthday glow would probably be (or similar enough for me to get bored too quickly).

And on a final note: I would much prefer a minipet to an emote. Not only is it harder to rub a minipet in someone's face the same way you can with an emote (especially one such as rank), but it would be easy to forget it's there. At least a minipet is in your inventory to remind you you've got it.

But make all the third year minis good ones please.

I only keep getting crap on my 1st year B'days, and I've had about 12 of them so far. 3 siege turtles and 2 devourers FTW!

No seriously, Anet = sux with birthday minis on my account. They have some kind of code to make sure I just pissed off all the time.

For something 'unique' for characters that are three years old. I was thinking along the line of a customized weapon.

Yeah with a character 3 years old it would be a pain to get a white mini,especially one that you don't like. If it has to be mini's make the 3rd year ones all gold and characters(devona,mhenlo,kormir ect.)

How about opening a present instantly killing your character! Of course you get rezzed later.

Mini-pets are getting tired. A change would be nice. Personally though, I think the glowing body parts isn't really that appealing either. Maybe if I ever got a mini-pet that was worh more than 15k I would feel differently about them, but I doubt it. They'd still make me yawn.

P.S. Come to think of it I once sold a first year mini-pet for 100k. Now it's worth 5k.

Im just hoping for a mini ooze for 3rd year. I couldnt care less about glowing hands and stuff like that. Besides the pets are a way for some folks to make a wee bit of money if they dont treasure theirs. (im thinking its safe to assume that you dont much care for the pets, and thats ok too). Just my opinion. Keep the pets. I want an ooze. but they probibly wont make 3rd year cut.

............ Mini's are cool and all... but how about one of those cone-shaped birthday hats?

ofcourse it would be max AL with +1 to the items attribute, and customized like other armours.

NO!

Not unless it's hourly based. I've played more hours than some people who have played since release but only very casually. Why should THEY get the reward when I have played more than them, hm?

Why should you get a reward for not having a life? I've been playing since the beginning, but i've quit many times. People have more hours than me that i've played for only a year. If you think like this, you need to go outside or something.

Seriously, just because you have a lot of hours logged on a game, doesn't mean you don't have a life. I hate that everyone who knows someone who's better at something then them gets all like "ZOMG! NO LIFE!"

I play 3 sports in high school, I play guitar, I have a job, I have a girlfriend, I have about 2500 hours logged on GW.

Wait, you're here on the internet flaming me over choosing to spend my time how I like it instead of how YOU like it, and you think I have problems?

Dedication to a game is how much you've played it. Someone who plays several hours per day is clearly more dedicated than someone who plays maybe a couple hours every month and then gets to collect minipets every year when they have not been playing very much at all. I utterly despise ignorant fools such as yourself who believe that your leisure activities are somehow better than those of others. Equal, sure, but better? Who is the judge of that?

By the way, I'd like to slap you in the face with cold hard reality.

Learn the meaning of life before you come here accusing me of being an inanimate object, thanks.

(On the subject of people AFKing, true, people can do that, though only with one character at a time, but there are also people who have barely played Guild Wars at all and they scarcely worked for theirs either, now did they? And they can get theirs on multiple characters with no work.)
