Early 3 yr mini release
Creeping Carl
So from what I can understand is that people are angry because they lost the chance to sell their minipet early for hundreds of ectos because ZoS beat them to the punch right?

Welcome to Guild Wars: The "War" On The Guild ZoS.
It's also nice to mention that WhiteWasabi is currently active viewing this thread. Nonetheless, if ANet did very well in fact give out minis earlier than mentioned purposely on favoritism or whatever... they lost my trust in them.
Just remember everyone... the end of the world comes in just a few more years.
This'll be my REAL last post in this thread. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

The yearly character creation award isn't exactly fair and balanced anyway. The boss only rewards people who've been with the company longest - and not all them, mind. He forgets about you if you change your hair-style.

Im not in anyway, however, condoning the selling of the mini's (it scares me that anyone would be stupid enough to buy for that much). Since wasabi bought it back, im assuming Anet told him/trusted him not to sell it, or that Anet simply didnt warn him about selling it. If the later is the cause then it was simply put an extremely reckless and stupid move by Anet.

Maybe we should thank WhiteWasabi for trying to sell it? At least now we know the inner workings of being friends with designers!

That, however, is not the issue. The issue is how ridiculous releasing what amounts to free gold (and while pets technically have no value, I don't believe for a second ANet doesn't know they usually are just sold) to a player for no reason.

So WW bought it back? What an idiot; him selling it was only part of the problem, it was the fact that he actually got the item before other players that made it unfair.
Also, hey avarre =)

His intentions were pretty clearly motivated by greed. If what was said earlier is true, and he scrambled to buy it back, I'd reckon he's being motivated by fear now.
It's going to be hard for him to get away from the stigma of this. Who's going to look at him and think he earned anything legitimately now? Bad choices all around by Anet employees, and their friends.

The whole thing so far is a lot of suspicion, doubts, and unconfirmed claims. I think theres only one real problem: Anet hasn't addressed the issue yet. Which, just fuels the suspicion and doubts (rightfully so).
Angelic Upstart
The silence from Anet on this is deafening.
Mind you after Reginas half assed explanation maybe they have told her to stfu.
A very grubby situation overall.

Do not post saying you received a 3rd year mini pet unless you have a screenie to prove it, thanks.

I think all the..133 people viewing this thread is eager to see you and your guild's 3 new 3rd year minipets.

As I said earlier, if the reset didn't happen at release, I should have my birthday present at 31st October of each year. If the patch gets implemented later than that, I should still be one of the first group of people to get it.

After reading through 11 pages of basically crap, were still not closer to knowing really why some members were given pets and still speculating. I think that if Dorf and Creeping Carl give ss then it'll actually clear things up.
Creeping Carl
Well it would help for me to prove that I have my minipet early if the damn mods didnt keep deleting my posts. Give me a minute okay?

Haven't opened it yet, but just wanted to confirm that I got mine, since there seems to be some confusion.

I expect damage control shortly in the forum of screenshots. With the people involved, it's not going to be hard to conceive that a few minis are going to be handed out as "evidence".
It's not going to be an argument of fact, but credibilities.

Thank you z3ro, sorted. close thread?
Joshie0808
So, i think my conclusion so far is that the 'age' or 'time of character creation' system is messed...
Would be nice for some official confirmation tho.
And thanks for screenie.

It would be nice if the people with 3rd year minis, namely WW because the issue started with his sell thread, all posted screenies of their character age. Preferably BEFORE april 28th.

If people are going to act like children with 'I told you so!'s', they're going to find themselves unable to post.

If the screenshot is real.-
- It means that character age is based on DAYS (365 days = 1 year). And with an extra day in February this year, the official 3rd year anniversary is actually 27th April (and people with headstart access should get the present at the beginning of 26th April onward).
And that's the earliest. ZoS's minis are still out TOO EARLY to be normal.

So it looks like anti_z3r0 was able to do what the devs or anyone in ZoS couldn't, prove that people were getting their 3rd year presents.
Thank you for the screenshots. Since it seems that the devs don't plan on posting, and the screenies look legit, there is no reason to keep this open.
