Why not give them the ability to pick up gold for the party? Does nothing to change the way the game functions really and gives me a reason to remember to bring out my mini pet. Sometimes I see piles of 30g or something with a party of 8 people and don't bother to pick up. But having a mini pick it up would be not only amusing but less hassle on my part.
Edit - No items! While picking up gold wouldn't unbalance the game picking up items would, not to mention you may not always have room or want to waste room on whites or non max items.
Edit2 - Some groups will bitch if a person runs away from the others for a tiny pile of 35 gold. Minis would silence those complaints. And for those that say "Why didn't you just pick it up when it dropped?" - well I tend to focus on my skills during combat rather than what drops.
General Use for Mini Pets!

SRO did it, and if can work in a persistant game, why not Guild Wars were people aren't going to moaning about a monkey picking up their gold?

More reason to break out the Mini's in explorables.

Definately a good idea, wouldn't mind them having some other uses aswell, but not totally sure what else they could be usefull for.

That's a really good idea, would save me some hassle and money 
..But I'm not sure the community deserves it, I mean they'd probably complain...

I would be rather indifferent to this. It saves you a few clicks every now and then, big deal. Next people will want it to pick up all their items for them.

anyway /signed - would absolutely love this idea, even if it had to be a mini dedicated to 'your' HoM i wouldn't mind.
weather items go into a mini pets inventory or yours would be up for discussion, but i would love to see mini pets actually have some use.

I like this idea :-) Gives the minis something to do, and it benifits the whole team ^^

I would rather have them bite ankles and cripple the ennemies but picking up gold is nice too. But only gold, no item.

I would also lik them to be able to pick up other team mates gold/green drops ah yeeee

cause its annoying if he picks up itemss when youre dropping whites to pick up a goldie maybe?

I'd like this but I think it would make life easier for the botters, less for them to code or whatever.

Would be nice, but then Minipets should be invincible and not die from AoE-damage.

And make them pick other items , make a little window where you can choose what types of items the mini pet should pick up.

Have them p/u gold and items...w/o aggroing groups. You'd still have the option of opening inv and dropping what you dont want. (ankle biting is good too!! RAWR!)

But still, /signed. Would be a great help, even if I would pick up junk to salvage.

Its not like picking up drops is hard to begin with so we can get some convenicence features.
hell, some games have "pick all nearby drops" key and it works nice.

Unless stated otherwise in bot script, but even then it usually picks up drops very fast. Sometimes bots get caught just because of that, nobody has to PM them to check.

Bots don't even need "fast reaction time" to pick up items. Use the ";" key to target nearest object and then hit spacebar and you can pick up items incrediably quickly too.
There are interface options already available such as that that make this game very easy to perform certain functions. People just don't know about them. Rather then requesting minipets get a function, I suggest people just learn how to use the existing interface to its full efficiency.

Some people are forgetting the purpose of this function is to give mini pets a practical but not unbalancing purpose.

It's not because I'm lazy... It's because I want minis to have a purpose besides looking pretty. It'll also give people incentive to remember to bring them out.
lol at the people who are already whining about it. Maybe reread the original post and see that he just wants a function for minis.
By the way... NO, they should NOT pick up items. That would be annoying.

wu is me
If picking up gold automatically is important to ppl, why should it be necessary to have a pet for it to happen?
