Ok, now this makes me angry...
ANET gave away tons of mini pigs. Some of us were really nice and gave away our mini pigs to those that didn't have any. Now there is a collector for them, and those that gave away their mini pigs to others that were not at the event or who had losing districts are here without mini pigs because we were kind. All those people we gave them to are selling them for...get this... 100k! 100K! WTF? Nice people finish last. Not only do we lose out on any money (which is fine, that was why we gave them away), but now we can't get the new mini using the pig. I call BS on this one, big stinky piles of BS.
Mini Pig Woes...

Selling the Mini Pig for 100k is a nice way of saying "Hey, I'm a scammer!"
I got 3, sold 2 of them for 3k. I don't need one, so I'm good.

Do people actualy buy them for 100k?
The minipets are probably going to be as easy to get as the pig anyway.

Could someone clarify this for me?
I checked update notes, and see nothing about a collector. Where/who can I trade my mini-pigs with?

Agree'd Rahja, kicked right in my arse.
But on a serious note, people are paying 50-100k for a mini pet, when the ''reward'' for trading it in will just be another common item, so quite literally they're paying tons of cash for a stupid soon-to-be common item.

This thread is filled with greed-laced fail.
Cmon now, are you serious? Are you really that upset about something, do you only give things to people when you have a motive for yourself? Its not like the rat is going to be hard to get anyways.
If you are complaining about people what people do with something you gave them, then you are less idiotic, but if you are complaining that its ANets fault, holy jeebus you need help..

Meh, I think it's bs. Hopefull it's one for one, I've always kept myself one dedicated mini-pig and gave the rest away.

Fingers crossed we get mini polar bear

I feel your pain, Rahja. I had three at one time. Think I still have a dedicated one somewhere. Seems like some of us always seem to hang on to the wrong things. Heh.

well, we will need to wait and see what the reward for these pigs is....it might just be the rat...in which case I will trade in one of mine, otherwise if its just something like a free lunar token, who cares????
and no I wont sell mine---I gave the other bunch I had away as well and kept one for each of my guildees (I have one I dedicated the others are waiting to be picked up---though since its been over a year-----------------)

They shouldn't make it a requirement to have more than 1, since who actually does like to waste storage space with 5 minipets that at the time couldn't be dedicated and were worth nothing? Might as well give them away to the people who were unable to get them.
Jongo River
I was never nice enough to give them away, but I did bin 8 at one time. I originally had one on every toon, but decided it was a waste of space. I tried to sell them for 1K, no bites, so in the bin they went.
I already regretted that decision, a month later, when GW:EN launched. Now it's time for double regrets? Come on ANet, what on earth is the thinking for rewarding players for holding onto a second pet, that was only available a year ago?

I think you missed the point. ANET shouldn't make the mini pig a requirement to get the new mini from the collector. It isn't fair to those that gave away their mini pigs to those that didn't have one.

If you are upset at ANet about something related to it, then I think you are spoiled. There is no understanding of how this might work. I heavily doubt, especially with the "polar bear fiasco" as it was called, that they would restrict a new mini to "multi pig holders". I am quite sure there will be an alternative way to get the "celestial surprises" other than just a pig trade in. I have ten dollars down on the bet that the "celestial surprises" are lunar fortunes (fits the bill huh?). If not, and it is a non-rat mini, then I guarantee there will be another way to acquire it.
If I am wrong, then yes, that is a bad flow choice, but you have no idea, so QQing about it makes you look oh so selfish. I say we wait and not jump to conclusions, as it only hurts you in the end. Remember everyone buying pigs for 100k last year and then QQing about it. I laughed. Impatience grants nothing to your well being.

"Special Miniature Rewards
In addition to the festival rewards mentioned above, two special miniatures will be available this year. For those lucky enough to receive multiple miniature pigs during last year’s celebration, look for a special collector with a celestial surprise for you."
Doesn´t sound like there is much misinterpretation possible.
Painbringer
So I guess since I got three last year gave one away and saved the other 2 I should feel thankful
Slayer Z
Still got my Mini Pig from last year. =]
IlikeGW
I think i trashed mine because no one wanted them. Considering the crappy limited storage in game, I made a wise choice as far as I'm concerned and am not going to lose sleep over this bizarre retrofitting of the pig's value.

The designers had a load of these pigs themselves. They can't be bothered to grind out their money in the new loot scaled enironment like the rest of us.

Drastically increase the value of one of the, previously, most worthless, non-merchable, objects in the game.
Sell pigs or new mini in newly invigorated minipet market
WIN!!!

For those lucky enough to receive multiple miniature pigs.
Ok now receiving because of luck is something, receiving buy buying off from someone is something else. I want some clarifications about it. Furthermore I think that it is just common dumbness, people trying to scam other people by making them think it's a new mini released NOW for this update. Just wait few days and mini pigs will be crap again.

Is the collector there yet, or not until friday? It's a bit ambiguous as to when the collector will be there, and I'm at work so I can't tell.
I only have one mini pig, but that's because I got like 3 from the festival and then trashed them because I needed the storage space for mods and inscriptions and hero runes XD. Curious to see what we get in exchange for the mini pig, if it's something cooler I might trade mine in for it.
I really hope it's something stupid like tokens or fortunes that you get for trading in a pig, that way all the people who actually donated their extra pigs don't feel completely gypped. Also hope it's not like 'get a stack of fortunes for trading your pig, and cross your fingers and hope you get a special mini from the fortunes' because that'd be just as dumb as the polar bear hunt.

They're likely not going to be restricted to multiple pig owners. I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to trade your mini pig for the new mini. So, what they're saying is that if you trade your only mini pig for the new mini, bye-bye mini pig.
And the people selling mini pigs for 100k likely have more than one or two, so no, it's probably not the people you gave your pigs away trying to sell them for 100k.

Might NOT be a pet, and if it is, a celestial surprise would most likely be the new rat. But of course, the entire point I am trying to make is that no one knows. Is QQing becoming a precognitive defect?
