Clearly not for the other 3 million players that love them : P. No one's forcing you to use them. A boss aura... that would be a bit weird. Giant pink stripes on my char... maybe not?

A mini me would be ftw.

Tbh, by the time we actually get to April next year we'll all be too excited about GW2... I suppose.

My Guild Wars birthday is October (2005 ) anyway.

Good idea. Mini Olias with 9 Mini Minions.

I want a Mini Merchant so I can sell stuff in explorable areas, or a Mini Xunlai Agent for my storage^^

What 3 millions? There are less than 100k people playing over the month, if we are lucky. There isn't even 1kk (total amount) of people, I don't count how many people have their accs banned, how many bots got caught, how many people just don't play anymore and so on.

Based on xfire.com, GW is on 8th place, even behind Spore CC. And only 12k people on Xfire play it per day. Even Counter Strike: Source (not a MMO) has almost 39k people per day.

About OP - you deserve nothing. No offense, but glowing people would drive me and many people mad. There are enough chaos glove morons around Kamadan and other towns.

Ok, a more serious suggestion: How about some sort of costume to change your armor into something else.
Not like a tonic, which changes your whole appearance.

But I have to agree.... 4th year minis are not a must, as long as Anet comes up with something original.

I wouldnt like the idea of only 1 possible birthday present, or are there 9 more variations of your boss aura ?
And would it be tradeable/costomized ? wouldn't make much sense to get a "veteran"-item if I could put it on a 5 minute old character... or simply buy it off someone else.

As this is Sardelac you should specify your suggestions with a little more than a sentence.

you're using xfire as a basis? most people don't use xfire to keep track of their friends; they use the in game guild list and friends list.

doubt anyone really knows how many unique users there are now except for anet.

Wow, if I wanted to judge by amount of online people on f list or g list, I'd say there are 75% less people now than a year ago. Maybe because out of like 40 people on f list, there are AT BEST 3-4 people.

I dont want armor change unless they add cool armors for 4 year olds.
Well i was thinking some like that imp stone to turn it off and on.And yes id like it to be customized so alot of ppl would get pissed BWAHAHAHAHA!
And would only give you aura of your profession so if you are a Wamo then you only get yellow.

LaZy Make up about half of the guild wars population anyways, so multiply their members by 2 and theres your answer

A mini me would be cool, but not practical with armor. If you have more than 1 armor set then your mini could end up with some wyvern or something lol.. Not that anybody uses that but yea..

perhaps you need to join a new guild or update your friends list then .. .

and perhaps you need to read what i posted again. my point was not that the friends list and guild list is a better way to judge the amount of people but rather that its the reason why most people don't use xfire. why use xfire to track your friends in game when there's already an in game method to do that?

probably the only way the community would be able to get a gist of the total number of active players is to see how many districts there are during the festival events. last one i went to there were around 120 districts on just the american side so multiply that by the max number of people in a district and we'll get a better idea.

There you go trying to make sence. You know it will just confuse people.

to the Op

While I agree with the no more minis I dont know what I want for a 4th year. How about a personalized weapon. Put a dealer, one in the major towns KC,Kamdan, LA, and you take your 4th year token (personalized) and can create your own green with your own name. It has any of the available mods but cant be made god like its like making a custom gold, or one of the PvP weapons. The difference is its "Nighteyes Claws" or some such after your char.

Attirudes like this amaze me.

Buy a game and have unlimited online play time...for 4 or more years.
That should be enough!

Sick of minis anyone? Give them away, dump em in the trash if you like.

On second thought...I demand a playable Oink mini (takes 0 damage). Great tank and the least Anet can do for anyone who is nice enough to use bandwith for 4 or more years for a minimal investment.

I'm sure I would feel differently if Anet was decent enough to at least charge me $180/yr plus game cost.

Mini Kilroy coming up ---- I can feel it. I doubt that there will be anything other than minis. They'll continue with what they have been doing, keep the masses content with more of the same old same old. I personally would like to see an extra "page" of slots in my storage account. Not visible to others and hence no "epeen" from it, but sooooooooooo much more useful to me. XD

Something automatically customized for the player that gets it. It can be a mini, no problem with that, but a non-tradeable one.

NO.

Birthday presents are miniatures. Period.

What we need is a way to store them.

The boss aura could be a title, when equipped, you gain the aura. However, it could, perhaps, find space on the account page or something. That way, titles could still be displayed.

It would look horrible, and serve the same glowy e-peen enlargening as chaos gloves on a black FoW wearing, ninja mask monk.

A true veteran is one that has played alot and not by how old their character.
Mini pets are grand out, their a nice gift boss auras or stuff like that will just look silly, tons will have it and it'll jsut end up being meh standard like chaos gloves.

I personally like the minis. I'd love to see some more of them added. I was shocked to see that the green third year mini wasn't Glint, as everyone suggested it. So for the green for fourth year, make it Glint. As for the others, I don't know. How about for gold, a mini Great Destroyer and Abaddon? Something like that anyway.

But instead of minis, another option would be an armor closet, weapon cabinet, mini trunk, and just overall more storage space.

Guild Wars 2 would be nice, if it was released before the fourth anniversary of the game. hehe Sure they could do both but I'd be more thrilled with the sequel's release than with more minis.
