You're TELLING Anet to bring in a monthly fee? If you wanna pay for it go play WoW.
This is a retarded idea IMO. It's like saying "Ok Anet heres how you can sap more money from us..apart from the BMP (which i got through promotion so meh.. anyways) ...You can just allow us an unlock pack to unlock all Elite armors for a character.

Mini-pets are meant to be a sign of either your age or your Guild Wars wealth, not how much cash you can buy in Real Life(tm). You want Anet to encourage Real World Trading? Might as well go to Temple of Balth Int 1 and buy some GWgold from one of those many sites.
As to a monthly fee, they seem to be making good enough progress without one, and I'd like to see some proof of

Although I agree that there must be an unlimited source for all miniatures, I would never agree with just give them to anyone that pays for them.
Birthday miniatures do already have unlimited sources. No problem with those.
For the rest, contests, extremely low drop rates in end-chests or from the creatures they represent, or even being able to 'craft' them by using a lot of expensive materials or things like those could do.
But just pay to get?

No, no...

Theres already this option. get ebayed/botted money for real cash and buy the minis from sellers.
*note, if Anet catches you then you will be banned and anyone who knows what happened will have a good laugh, so its not really advisable.
but as the others have already said, its a sign of either char age, or ingame wealth, Id also add also a sign of real life work for the contest winners

It would be like changing what minipets were "meant" for. Contrarily to skill unlock packs.

No matter how secure you think you make something, there is always a way around, you will always see botters and what not in a game where in game currency has a value. If money on the other hand wasnt the main factor in a game, that would be a different story, wether they buy minipets or whatever they use em on.

Mini-pets represents your Guild Wars wealth? Please refrain from uttering nonsense. Mini-pets are signs of representing a character's age? This is hilarious, what if you are in a situation where you have sold off all your mini-pets and someone ask you to display a second year mini-pet? You can't, can you? Last of all, what's makes you think they can't change the way mini-pets are given? Did they stated it in their Guild Wars User Agreement?
From this comment above, it clearly shows how ''mature'' your mindset is.

Firstly, you seem to be putting a lot of importance on mini pets and I cant say I know any players who "bot" purely to gain the gold to buy them.
There may be a big market for mini pets, but its no where near as huge or influencial on the market as you seem to be suggesting.
But even if it was, who cares? Most mini pets are a mear 5-15k now and its only the rare ones which are more... as it should be.
I'm signed for adding a normal mini pet pack to the store, but not if it gives people the rare green, purple of gold pets because those are intended to be rare.
Also where did the monthly fee comment come from?
This game does not need a monthly fee to support it in anyway shape or form. It works great without one and from my experience GWs is a far more stable game then WoW.
I've been kicked from GWs less times then I have WoW.
Sorry but you idea is nonsense because your trying to make a big deal out of something, which isnt a big deal. Plus I didnt really understand the pvp part of your post either.
Some things are meant to be expensive in the market, its called an economy and commerce. If everything was cheap, there would be nothing to drive people to earn gold and pump it back into the market.
And sorry but are you a games developer? are you a programmer? do you have any experience in running a company or running an online game?
To so casually sit there and dictate that Anet isnt doing enouh to stop botting is just offensive to the entire Anet team who have probably put hours and days into trying to track down bots and remove then from the game.
Its very limited what they can do, to prevent them and find them. They have to trall through endless amounts of data to find signs of bot action.
The solution is NOT to just make everything cheap and give it away in packs at the store, because that is then unfair on those players who dont have real world cash to spend on them. I know I couldnt afford to keep buying pack after pack after pack in the store and I would feel a bit miffed if I was missing out on something fun or important.

Bots and farmers have been here since the start of the game, long before mini-pets were introduced. I don't think it would do anything to stabalize the in-game economy.
ANET has said again and again "No monthly fees." They must be doing okay financially with the current model.

So why can't it be done for players who want to obtain the third year mini-pets as well if their oldest character is only a year odd other than buying from in-game?

I said I didn't mind the idea of a mini pet pack from the online store (as long as it was just the normal variety and no rare ones).
I said you were making a bigger deal out of mini pets then needs to be, because you were suggesting they were a main cause (of many) of botting to generate wealth.
Which may be true for a very small % of the community, but I would seriously question whether anyone would waste their time using a bot to create wealth just for mini pets.
You seemed to be suggesting your "mini pet pack" as a way to prevent or reduce botting, by making all mini pets very easily accessed and unlocked. Believing it would remove the need to use bots to buy the mini pets.
But what you don't seem to realise is that players use bots for a lot more then mini pets. They use bots to attain wealth for a huge variety of things like weapons, rare materials and armor. Would you suggest Anet then release an instore pack to unlock all weapons, all obsideon armor and an ample supply of ectos on demand?
But its your comment suggesting that Anet don't try to fix botting which got me more then anything else. You're questioning Anet's dedication to elimination or reducing bots ingame and I find that pathetic.
Anet has staff working 24/7 to work through data to track down and remove bots and ban accounts for foul play.
But their limited in funds and staff to do it and to contend with thousands of players is not easy.

Do you want all the people who dedicated months of their lives to get one of these rare minis to suddenly be left with nothing? Do you want them to go KILL themselves? Do you want their blood on your hands??!
In the words of a 9 year old I once knew "YOU CRAZY!!!"
/endsarcsm
Anyways, your idea is preposterous. These items are rare, and ment to stay that way. If this was added to the store, a gazillion people would buy it, and then the minis would be worth nothing, and then everyone would wonder why they spent $25 on filling up their HoM.
This thread has all the potential to be an Epic Flame war.

Mini pet packs. thats just funny. Im sorry but NO!!!!!!!!!! If you get lucky, then you will get that rare pet on your birthday. If your not that lucky, then im sorry about your luck. I know my mini lich would not mean as much to me as it does if i had bought it, weather from another player or from a pack. But i got it as a gift from A-net and I thank them. No its not for sale at any price.
Next thing you know, people are gonna want to be able to BUY all titles.
Now as for your comment about a monthly fee...ARE YOU FLIPPIN MAD?????? or just retarted?

minis are meant to be (duh) birthday presents, and the rare ones are presents for various other things, contests and the like.
an unlock pack would totally kill the mini market. i mean, white first years are all like 5k and under, what would they sell for then? 50g?
