Mini Pig Woes...

lol - wouldn't it be a riot if it were for the new design-a-weapons (which were added to dat file this last update)?

The people who collected minis instead of weapons would now have the opportunity to trade for something they don't want - a weapon

And the people who just sold their pigs to buy things like weapons would now have no way of getting the new weapons.

Also - we know we can trade dedicated minis - but do they have to be dedicated in our own HOM or can we trade dedicated minis we bought from others too?

Course I'm guessing that it will be a minipet and any dedicated pig will work - but if I'm wrong this could be a very interesting event - looking forward to tomorrow with bated breathed.

The prices will go up when everyone is starting to trade in their pigs and the supply of pigs is going down.

I agree with the topic creator.

Events and festivals are supposed to be carefree, fun, happy times (at least in my thoughts of how they're supposed to be) but I can't help feeling more along the lines of doom, drama, and upset people from this event. It just feels like there's more tension and frustration than anything else.

Eh, there's always that amongst gamers. No matter whether an event went particularly well and smoothly, someone will ALWAYS find something to moan about. Life just isn't life without drama, according to some.

I do find my humanity sprained again by people moaning about hindsight. That's just life.

Warning, shocking conent below in the context of those who are savvy with my posting record:

After the Gaile log, I was quite surprised to see that I was indeed, wrong, about how this was going to unfold. Although it doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the game, it is odd that they are choosing a bizzare mini trade in system. Can't say I agree with it, as it shows a weird direction of choices in my opinion. No QQ, not asking for anything for free, just a weird observation on my part.

Unless....

People who are hoarding pigs will hand over their pigs to get a gorgeous, super-mini, which everyone will be apeshit about, and then when the final event happens, and the "volatile" gift is given, the minis turn out to be a bomb that perma-kills the char and account. Take that greedy fooks!

ITS A TRAP!

Why can't people just wait and see what the weekend brings? It just seems that
everyone acts like a bunch greedy 6 year olds waiting for Santa Claus. Please remember that this is an special event that ANET could just as well said not this year we are too busy with GW2. I know I will just take things as they come and enjoy whatever that may be.

gl putting this in people's skulls but +1 ^^

you're telling people not to be greedy? how much are you selling that polar bear for?

owned.

End of event, also through lunar tokens, as you mentioned, top people in rollerbeetle racing, or possibly a new, unmentioned npc that gives the new mini (hard quest? gold? some other itmes?). Those are my guesses if not the mini pig collector.

If its true then no minipig and no new mini for me

If you own something rare and people want to pay exorbitant prices for it, that is not greed it is just supply and demand. Your comment is far from owning.

plus, i was pointing at the part that ANet could have cut&paste the event and flooded the market with simple pigs again

but "OWNED" if that makes ya happy

Gaile was in SJM late last night (AZ time), and said that people shouldn't be buying pigs. No, I don't have the log -- but anyone who was there would be able to back that up.

Are we certain that only rats are gained via the new fortunes? Not rats *and* pigs?

I really hope there was someone that screen shot that so that people won't be pig crazy anymore. *checks other threads*

This post here should help you

Victory Tokens are a go.

Gaile said people should not buy many pigs.

Yeah, not that chat, dude. I'd see that already. This was her other visit to SJM yesterday.
