I have a fair few characters, and all of them bar 2 have now reached their 1 year birthday. A grand total of 10 1st year birthdays so far.
Here's how my present's look
1st Minipet: Whiptail Devourer on my Ranger...my oldest character...still got her
2nd Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Warrior...still got her
3rd Minipet: Fungal Wallow on an Elementalist...since deleted
4th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on a Necromancer...since deleted
5th Minipet: Temple Guardian on a Monk...since deleted
6th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Monk...still got her
7th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Ritualist...still got her
8th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Elementalist...still got her
9th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Assassin...still got her
And that brings me to present day. Just an hour ago
10th Minipet: Fungal Wallow on my Necromancer.
Notice anything unusual? Yeah...8/10 of my characters have got FUNGAL WALLOWS FOR THEIR FIRST YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
I know this is a system of randomisation, and totally at random. My monk has by far the most hours, and my necro to just roll over a year has the least (by about 100). And both recieved the same pet.
But I'd like to hear about your experiences...not "omg lol I got X Y Z minipet". This is a slight QQ thread yes...I'm pretty freakin' pissed off that I've just recieved my 8th fat, ugly, slimey overgrown rat. Tell me...have you got any particular minipet a fair number of times? I'm talking more than twice here...I've got a friend who has claimed 3 Mandragor, and I heard of someone getting 5 Kirin's. But I think I still stand as the unluckiest person with first year minipets in the history of pretty much ever.

wallow x3, hydra x2, jade x2, whiptail x1, and finally a decent pet, unfortunately i got it late in the game (people already had 3rd year mini's, so this was worthless) ... A MINI SHIRO 
!

I've gotten a lot of stuff, most of which I can't remember all specific ones. I've gotten a Jade Armor, a couple Trolls, a Necrid Horseman, an Aatxe, a Koss, and a Water Djinn.

sorry mr slayer to see you are hex with Fungal Wallow, i myself am hex with necrid horseman, this is very frustrating, and I have suggested that the same account will not get the same mini pet suggestion to no avail.

Mini Titan. Mini Jade Armour. Both in storage until I figure which char's HoM to put them on, then they're either getting sold, deleted, or put on an inactive char, depending on how lazy I'm feeling.

I also received 8/10 fungal wallows for my first birthday presents. I did get a mad king thorn for a 3rd birthday, so it is alright I guess.
I pwnd U
I have only ever gotten one duplicate mini. Both my War and my Ranger get a Mini-Juggernaut for their 2nd birthday present. Otherwise all have been different.

They seriously need to change the way the mini pet system works. Like if you already got a mini on your account for a birthday you shouldn't get it again on that account, unless you bought it in which case it wouldn't count.
Anyway, mine? Four birthdays in a row, all four whiptails. I was sooo mad.

I know I posted in a thread simmiler to this ages ago but anyway the chars I remeber taht stand out.
For 3 chars 1st birthday on same account I got 3 Bone Dragons ( sold them )
and the same 3 chars when they hit 2nd year birthday they all got a Thorn Wolf each (sold 2 kept 1)
only have 1 char left that is 1 or 2 weeks away from 3rd birthday Dunno what i will get
I deleted the other 2 about 5 months ago and rerolled them.
So much for random minis but made me some cash at the time.

Are you complaining? I <3 fungal wallows... I'd be glad to be you. Fungal wallows are the only monster you can have as a henchmen! (Yes, there's tengu from talon silverwing, but he doesn't count)
cosyfiep
I think it was wallow month...my last bday character got one as well (for a while there I was getting shiros....still hope to one day get that dang bone dragon!)..
pwnd I just looked under mini...and it came up pretty quick.

in a way it requires some luck to get 8/10 minis the same you wouldn't complain if you got bone dragons each time would you?
I suppose thats just the way it works really each time doesn't reflect the last minipet you got and it is basically random. Some people have to get the 'rubbish' minis for them to be 'rubbish' and a few people get the 'rare' ones which makes it rare.

Ive had 1 purple for the first year (when they came out) and 2 purples (both nornbear) when they came out. I think that is above average luck .

Hollygen
Across 10 characters, 3 of which are now passed their 2nd birthdat, I've only had one duplicate (two hydra), otherwise I've had a nice spread of whites and purples. No golds yet from presents, but there's time

my fungal wallow was the seige turtle, jade, and jungle troll.
other than that i got a mini rurik as my first gold just last week.
other than that, minis really have no use, other than generating random comments from people as the pass by. i wouldnt worry about what you get. its kinda funny that you got 8 wallows tho =P

But I wont agree that a person should get one of each randomly and then no more. It would be possible to randomly get one from a pool until you have one of each, then cause a recycle. They won't make this happen for two reasons - they don't care about programming changes to the base code and they won't make a change that eliminates trade. This would elimiante the need to trade minipets.
However, I am quite happy farming 28 minipets a year - it is hard work and takes an entire year to get mixed results. I dont want it to stop at a dozen or so when I need 200 mini's for my ten playing characters HoM.

Fail less at opening presents imo?
Seriously though - most of us open up nothing but whites. I've seen one purple across the entire battery of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year pets. It does seem like the system distributes good fortune somewhat less than randomly, and it's unfortunate that you managed to open 8 Wallows.
However, any of the 1st year whites are pretty much valueless at this point, ya know? Not something to get worked up about.

Although you can complain, if you had gotten 10 Shiros... I'm sure you wouldn't complain about how it wasn't random enough. 
Issac
Man that really does, I haven't gotten any really bad minis or that many in a row at least lol. Should be getting one more in a couple of days I think. Hope its a good one.
Abedeus
A lot of Whiptail Devourers for me, one Troll, one Siege Turtle and one Rurik. Oh, and both ,,uniques'', Asura and Ceratodon.
viper11025
If U REALLY wan't to know................I tihnk all whites here. Over 3 characters and the rest have yet to get theres I think.
Ate of DK
I got nothing but white minipets in 3 years.
take_me
Even though I never got an expensive mini, I consider myself lucky that I never got a mini twice.
Let's see if I can remember all correctly:
3rd year minis: Mursaat, Minotaur, Abyssal
2nd year: Mandragor, Harpy Ranger, Thorn Wolf, Wind Rider, Koss
1st year: Devourer, Siege Turtle, Necrid Horseman, Jungle Troll, Jade Armor, Hydra, Fungal, Charr Shaman , Kirin (in Pre)
.
