I'd love to see no minipets at all.

No really, there are way too many freaking minipets. I'm opposing any "new" ones at all.

Agree. we don't need another e-peepee, add something useful instead like more storage, or make something else stackeable in storage.
If you have to add something.

Hes suggesting it because of the upcoming third birthdays.

And the whole E-Peen fad is really starting to get annoying.

Yea, people who think rely on their e-peens should quit the game, I agree.

On-topic: Honestly, it may be a good idea for a minipet, but minipets in general are a bad idea.

I didn't say it to get my post recognized or to get more replies. I said it so hopefully the team sees it and considers it. I think it'd be a great idea for 3rd years, being one myself. Also this is my first post here so take it easy on me; I didn't know what to put it's a tough world for girl gamers lol ....and I'm not familiar with the "e-peen" concept...but I don't think I want to know lol.

A mini Glint would be great for a 3rd year gold.

And the e-peen remarks, along with all of the trendy, negative, juvenile phrases/terms have always been annoying.

LOLOLOL whats wrong with you guyz?
Somebody suggests something that not the community can implement and you go like "OMG douche bag... he said 'dear..' !!!1one!1"

Just because he didn't say "noob" or "wtf nerf!" he/she isn't one of us anymore... right?

I like the idea ... even if I for sure will never see a third anniversary pet.

You're mad cause it's true?
Seeing that it is a virtual item bought with virtual money that is accumulated basically by spending more time on the game, then that is what it is.
Mini-pets aren't needed. They just show how lucky you are, or that you are rich by trading/farming. Or you might have won some GvG tournament, but that happens rarely. Especially rare minis with their 500+ecto worth, it just shows how much money you have. There are plenty of people who would want a Kanaxai, but hell if I'm going to trade all day so I could have a chance to buy one whenever someone wants to try and auction it off.

Back on topic, I don't really care about the pet because I know I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting any decent mini-pet for my character's third birthday. Glint is an ok idea, but I like something else. I wouldn't mind a Reaper, Kvelduf (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Kveldulf), a weird monster like a Leviathan Eye, Warden, Executioner (if it retains the correct size compared to other minis and has a weapon) or a Nightmare. Not that Glint is bad, but I would rather see something than "strong boss from one of the campaigns" again.

Oh, by the way, I don't think you can call "e-peen" a "fad". It's been around for a long time, I remember it from the early days of Runescape, its been around about as long as "noob" has.

Not as much as the whole "epic fail" thing. Seriously.. it should be a bannable offence.

He was probably refering to the fact it's just lately become an increasingly popular term on these boards.

More on topic, I would also prefer something besides mini pets for the third year presents. I believe the developers asked for our opinions on what we should get last year, and a lot of people were disappointed to get more minis in the end. But perhaps they've had enough time do actually do something big this year.

But if we are just getting more mini's, then a Glint would be pretty darn cool.

Yah I have to agree that something more than just a mini, or something along with a mini, for third years would be nice. Not sure what, unique weapon? No idea. I mean 3rd year is a big year for us loyal players...it's in some ways the last real year for Guild Wars....because next year it's GW2.

They should just give everyone 1 mil gold for 3 years, the economy is already screwed over from inscriptions, so I don't see why not.

I'd like a mini copy of myself... yes I know that sounds stupid but it would be interesting to have a mini Koudelka xP. And to sell my mini me for 100k+100 ectos, "it's the only one!".

I want a Mini Margonite Ascendant plz A-net! And Mini pets are only e-peen cause people make then that way. Not the minis fault. I love minis, just a fun thing to have. My 2k Mini Devourer is still my favorite.

It would be awesome to finally see a Glint miniature. She's the coolest 'npc' (if you can call her that) in the game if you ask me. Even Koss and Zhed have miniatures, and they are nowhere near cool.

Mini Glint would be cool- so would any of the other mini pets listed on here. What I don't get is..why people trash mini pets so much..if you don't want one or don't like them..then don't buy them...it's as simple as that really.

Posted that once before, I really do think it would be a cool idea (even just make a morph (Disney Treasure Planet) that does a mini me of whoever has it open at the time.

Glint also sounds good.
Have they done a mini dwarf yet?
Maybe a mini Seer

Been suggested several times but I'd still like to see it. I, for one, unlike many, really like mini pets. I was surprised that the third year green one was Mad King Thorn instead of Glint.

But I'd still rather see more storage space or an armor closet instead of new minis.

Don't forget it costs Anet money to bring in new storage space so it won't come, as mini's are easy/cheap to make.

As for a mini, a tengu would be cool
