its not that we want the pigs we gave away back its more than we did something NICE by giving them away...and now we find that if we werent nice and hoarded them we could get something for them...as has been said the moral is to not be nice, and hoard everything.
I am not unhappy that I gave a bunch of my pigs away...and if the 'surprise' is something I neither want nor can get due to my generosity then I will probably just dedicate the rest of my sty and pitch'em in the trash.

I don't think so.
I dare Anet to stop with every single event from now on and just focus on GW2, see how this community will DIE painfully (And tainted GW2 indefinitely).

It isn't fair to those that gave away their mini pigs to those that didn't have one.

Why did you make this thread then?

A.net should just reset the GW games back to the way they were.. then leave us all alone......

Considiring huge amount of pigs released last year, i think that new mysterious mini will be not so rare one. Something like 50.000-100,000 pets or even more... ( Suppose that there was ~500.000-1000.000 pigs released initially. Some was destroyed, some still keeped in collections. So even if only 100.000-200.000 of them will be converted at a 5x rate, we ll get at least 20.000 of them, and probably much more)
So after all dust settles and novelty wears off it will be in price range of Destroyer/Ceratadon/Asura ets.
Imo celesial rat will be much rarer because anet will definitely screw drop rate.
-
I give away all my pigs (~10) long ago and don't even bother to re-buy them now. It will be much easier to just trade that pet after weekend for a modest sum of cash.

It's not a case of how rare or valuable it is, it's a simple case that the people that gave them away for free are now screwed out of a new mini or 25k+

Malice is correct.
To be quite honest, who the hell cares if you gave them away.
Be content with the knowledge that at the time, you were charitable, and as a result, in this instance the better person for that charity.
I mean, seriously people. I was generally pleased with the Guild Wars players who were generous at the time, and was rather impressed. Now this whole thread and the mindset behind it is pathetic.
Mind you, I gave away around 20 pigs and have not purchased any since

Well if you don't care about minis one way or another, you have nothing to gain from this thread (and the whole mini-"were you selfish enough last year"-pet thing).

I guess I'll have to farm and try to buy 2 more mini pigs, 3 seems like a good amount. Personally I think it should be 1 pig for new mini but well, I'm not A-net. Gaile said it would not be that rare of a pet so I'm hoping on that. Also what does everybody think the "Special" end item is. My vote is on everlasting rat tonic
. Or a new skill Raten Blessing
EDIT: "there is made"? GRAMMARTIME!
katherinetheblood
Here is my question, if everyone is so against selling mini pigs, why are the prices going up? If you love your mini pig, don't give in. Anet will learn its lesson. Its like treating a spoiled 2 year old, if you dont give them what it wants, it will scream for a while then learn who is in charge. Gamers don't HAVE to do every feature. Soon enough...they will see it doesn't work and burn it. Then there will be a flood of mini rats and piggies and the 5 shall be pleased. I just cant wait for 4 years from now, Year of the Dragon shall be wonderful. *smiles*

Here is a suggestion:
Make either one collector with several possible trades or three collectors each specializing either in pigs, lunar or victory tokens.
Special Collector
Item: "Celestial Surprise"
Collecting:
- "More than two, less than a dozen" (three would be nice) Minipigs
- 250 Lunar Tokens
- 250 Victory Tokens

You'll get in average one pig out of each stack of Lunar Fortunes (year of the pig). Yesterday I spied a herd of pigs and stacks of fortunes that I had pushed off to a mule account and properly forgotten. After burning the stacks I'm now in possession of 14 critters and thus covered my derriere concerning the collector but I still think that the way this pig-sink was implemented was less than optimal, even technically ineffective because the originally fairly localized ensemble has since then dispersed among the larger population and depending on the exact amount needed for a trade not too many people may be able to meet it.

Hey Rajah, the greatest mistake we do is thinking that A.net can deal sensibly and rationally with the community.
This is an epic fail, A.net behave towards their customers like this:
A.net order "Dance!" and we all have to dance, "Sit down!" and we all have to sit down, "Run in circle!" and we all have to.
This happened for the BMP: "Buy now from the shop or you'll never get it later!" and people spent 30$ even for something useless to get it.
Like dogs in a circus.
(Just to clarify my position, I strongly fought to have the BMP sold separately since the beginning, and despite this I will never buy it because I cannot reward A.net for the horrible way they managed the whole thing).
Some weeks ago I proposed to create some new titles obtainable fighting somewhere, so that those trying to achieve GWAMM could have some challenging title, and not spend endless hours farming margoyles like idiots to get sweet, booze and crap like these.
Yay, they introduced a new title, and guess which one? Another farming title LOL!
Every time we expect that A.net does something sensible and reasonable, we fail.
But if you stop and think, you'll realize that they behave towards their customers in the correct way.
Why? Because sensible people don't play videogames.
So, A.net -correctly- can't be expected to address the requests of sensible people.
Madness? .... This is A.NEEEEEEET!!!

This thread was created because some of the really generous people who were not greedy and were nothing but kind and giving are really getting boned here. We don't even have an opportunity to get one. I am impoverished since Oktoberfest ended. I used what little wealth I had left and donated it to LaZy for the event. I managed to get a few friends to help me get some armors and stuff in EotN. Now they are broke as well. This little setup is somehow fair? I am not one to QQ on this forum unless something is very wrong, and something is VERY WRONG with this setup.

Rajah - those of us who know you, and know where you stand on this game, understand exactly what you are saying.
BUT there a a lot of people here who troll for the hell of it just to create dissension, there are those who trash anyone who happens to have a different opinion to theirs, there are those that are self-proclaimed "experts' on every aspect of GW and will slag anyone who does not agree with them, there are those who like to simply flame others in a negative way as it makes them feel better about themselves, and then of course you get the fanbois who will hear no wrong about Arena Net.
Unfortunately the above listed people seem to be in the majority now, and any sensible discussion of topics like this always degenerate into flaming or QQing. As some love to say here, we have to just "deal with it".
/salute to someone who truly does have the essence of the game and the community at heart.

Although I can only speak for my alliance, we did'nt allow thousands of people to get pigs last year because we ever expected anything back or in return so the requirement for multiple pigs for this new pet does'nt feel like a slap in the face.
I would also hope other guilds and alliances who helped people get pigs last year feel the same.
I would hope there is some other way of getting pigs/rats and I trust Anet would'nt be as silly as to exclude the players who had no chance of ever getting enough pigs to join in. We'll see.

I believe that the main issue here is again about ANet moving goal posts.
Anet representatives have stated that they like to shake things up every now and then, and on the PvP side this is a desirable thing to prevent the gameplay from getting stuck to a couple of FotM builds. On the PvE side the effects are more contentious. Let's consider, e.g., FoW armor. It takes a lot of effort to acquire but the amount of effort is fixed and well known so that people can judge whether they want to pursue it or not, and that's the way it should be. Imagine the QQ if Anet decided to 'shake things up a bit' and changed the requirements for FoW armor from ectos and shards to bones and glittering dust. Or, added a collector for tattered capes (useless item that hasn't spawned since early days of Prophecies) who trades the cape to a stack of ecto. These kinds of arbitrary decisions to grossly re/devaluate certain items don't make PvE exciting or dynamic, just irritating, especially if it benefits a small subset of players at the expense of everybody else.
However, I don't believe that these kinds of upheavals will taint GW2 through HoM inheritance. If the mechanism works as I've predicted, the rewards are pretty mundane and cosmetic. Like with minis, no matter what you put on the pedestal, as long as there are at least 20 minis you'll get a single mini in GW2, the exactly same mini for everybody regardless of whether your collection is one of kanaxais and polar bears or wallows and devourers. With current prices it is pretty easy to gather enough common minis to meet the goal as well, so don't fret over one missed mini here or there.

Also, forum QQ is gonna be ... BIG regardless of what they would do (well, they can release correct info long time before it takes into effect to allow flames extinguish themselves by the time it is released ...).
Should "elite" pet collector see that his unique collection gives the same result as ordinary joes white collection, it is not going to be pretty.
Ditto, vice versa.
Lots of people are going to feel "slap in face" when they see how their hom was rewarded compared to someone elses. And that being only cosmetic reward is gonna be small issue for them.
Not pretty.

I seem to remember Gayle last year incuraging people to give away pig's when they had more than one, because lot's of people didn't get any for one reason or another.
The whole idea of giving anything to people who decided to keep more than one seems just wrong to me.

Anet didn't do this to "get" anyone or "hurt" anyone or to "spite" the community. Over time, most items gradually lose their rarity and become cheaper. Items that can only be acquired once or are released in limited quantities often gain value over time.
Yes, if you could get FOW armor with dust and bones, that would be a problem. Is this change even remotely comparable?
Anet made changes that benefit those that held on to their pigs & fireworks. No one who gave them away has been hurt in any real sense. They just don't get a lucky bonus. To ascribe all sorts of nefarious motives to Anet is silly. All of the conspiratorial self-pity is not attractive at all.
I personally dedicated my pigs and then trashed them. C'est la vie. I can thing of a few worse things that have happened to me. For instance, the diet coke I got at the deli yesterday was only 3/4 full. Curse that waitress!

Maybe a few Elementalists should cast multiple Wards Against Harm...at least for a few seconds we wont be affected by flames. Anyway let's not get carried away, we well have lots of chances to get this new pet, and even if we did get "screwed over" it's just the shotgun effect, you shoot [punish] one person and everyone gets hit somehow.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do about it now.
Who cares, they're not going to be able to sell them for that much. And only idiots would buy them for that much, after the festival, they'll go down.

yeah its decisions like this that have made me feel "done" with guildwars, it was a nice run but no way am i buying into GW2 if these kind of "spur-of-the-moment" changes carry over into GW2's economy, and thats all it boils down to for me
When something a year old that was never alluded to being valuable in the future goes from 0-1k to 20-25k overnight, theres a problem with that in my mind
I didn't even bother give my extras away, too many people had them for that, so I just chucked em

I had 10 left over last year and made a thread on gwonline and some kind of contest and gave away the minis to new comers to the game.
You think people will give me one for free (the majority anyway).
I'm lucky that one person in my guild was kind enough to give me one.
But if I had no one to give me a pig then I would have to buy one.
The funny thing is, if Anet then provides this so called new mini surprise in tons after the end of the festival just like they did with the mini pigs.
P.S, many great thanks to my guildie for giving me one for free, if you are reading this buddy I owe you one

I think people are missing the most important thing about the minipig trade in:
WHY?
Why does ANet suddenly care that the minipig was the most common minipet, and that it was very cheap (typically selling for 1-2K)?
I can see three possible reasons:
1) Server load. During events ANets servers get bogged down, and a big part of that load is all the hundreds of minipets. By draining the most common minipet off the market, they may be hoping to lower server load during the event.
2) There is some in-game problem with the minipet. Something about it which somehow is a problem to gameplay. Broken textures, overly complex model slowing peoples graphics down... anything.
3) Some player has asked ANet to make the pig rarer, and hence more expensive.
If the reason turns out to be 3), that is a problem, because then ANet has helped someone play the in-game market.
That would be similar to what happened in EVE, where employees helped a particular corporation gain unfair advantages.

Well, here's a thought:
There will be a way to get more pigs this festival.
I guarantee it.
Think about it: if ANet implemented the pig collector without a method to get more pigs, all the players who started playing after last years festival are, unless they manage to buy a couple of pigs, out of luck. ANet do not do this - their holiday festivals are always self-contained and accessible to all.
ANet have NEVER implemented something that REQUIRED people to have been playing for a certain length of time. The closest they got to having "requirements" was the Black Moa Chick mini which required you to own all the campaigns, which doesn't completely prevent anyone from completing it. The only thing in the entire game that ANet intentionally made impossible to get in the future is festival headgear. Everything else has ALWAYS been accessible to both new accounts and old accounts.

Quick question. Why are some people under the impression, that the mini pig collector is going to give a item/mini that the rest won't be able to obtain?
Did people actually read the special event page?
