Whoever votes "No" is just doing it to be spiteful.

I'm not exactly aching for one, as I assume some people are; but what am I gonna say, "NO! I don't want new free content!"?

Curious what kind of jingle pet people would want. Wolf? Some of them are already white....

There should be the third "I don't really care much" option.

You can only bring one animal companion at the same time, after all, and my ranger already has her Moss Spider called "Moss Hinder", as for the rest, they don't use the pet at all, so it doesn't really matter much.

I'm not opposed to a new Jingle pet, but I have zero desire for one. That is fair grounds to vote "no" - because it's true that I don't want one.

This ^

There is just no need for a new jingle pet. If there had been a "I don't care one way or the other" option I would have voted that way.

That's ridiculous.

People who vote no are not being spiteful. For example, I voted no. My main is a Ranger. I have a full menagerie. I just really am not seeking another pet. I don't use the dozens that I already have.

Would I say no to one? Of course not, but that doesn't mean I want one. So since there is no "Either way, don't really care much." option then "No" it is.

Or maybe they know that the Live Team has no active artists, so any new models or textures added to GW 1 further delays GW 2?

Isn't the completion of a new content series, 2 new quests, and an increase in all rewards enough?

What is the point of another jingle pet?

Pet builds still suck, no reward or title for capturing them all, and jingle pets are just lame copies of their original with a small red collar around them.

I'm in the range of "Why not" and "meh". It wouldn't be a bad thing to add, but not really beneficial either. And yeah, there are other more important things that I'd like to see changed/added in GW /coughdervandparaupdates.

Added a middle-option for all you whiners =P (even though I don't think you can change your votes... na na na). Now we can focus on the actual topic instead of the poll options!

Personally, I don't care at all. I don't use pets and I sort of feel that there's a limited application for them (especially for the ways in which I pay). Some are pretty cute, though...

They're cute, but I just don't see the need for another pet. There's already 2 in that tiny garden, and I kind of thought just the bear was enough Jingle action to be honest. :\

JINGLE DINOSAUR!!!

But really, there isn't need for yet another pet.... players already have plenty of options when it comes to animal companions. Plus I would rather have the live team working on things that actually affect day-to-day playing (dervish update....), instead of creating a new model or mesh for a pet. Plus the jingle pets aren't even unique (in regards to HoM).
So I vote no, unless the new pet is a jingle dinosaur, in which case, I'm all for it.

Wait... why should we be asking for a new pet?
We can't just ask for random things. And besides even if they do add one, just one simple pet takes alot longer then u expect

Well someone in the team must have thought it a good idea to give up the Jingle companions we do have.

I was expecting a new one this year probably wolf though hoped for something else.

I guess yopu could keep adding Jingle animals till every one was represented which is a little silly.

Best to create some lore as to why the Jingle creatures exist and how many species there are and go from there.

Reindeer would be the best imo Spider though a little strange would also be good.

So voting yes

Why not just add the Jingle Moas that spawn in the Secret Lair of the Snowman?
They aren't white, so they wouldn't be exactly like the ones now. And they are already in game, no need to create a new one. Just gotta make them tamable.

Hm... the red festive moas would make sense. But there must be some reason why they didn't use those in the first place.

I have never seen a reindeer attacking. All the ones I've seen are neutral with limegreen names, and never attack.

There was just this discussion the other day on alliance chat in my guild, and we decided we want a new jingle pet.

Unanimously that was Jingle Dhumm!

Yeah! Dhumm with a jingle collar and maybe a Santa hat. Maybe some decorations on his scythe.

Now wouldn't that be cool?

P.S. Just saw another vote for Jingle Dhumm. And yeah, I wanna use charm animal on Dhumm.

Meh. I actually don't like the jingle pets, sure it's fun and novel but if I want a polar bear or white moa there is no chance I'm going to bring the jingle versions, it makes them look lame.

I think I've only seen one person use a jingle pet since they were released, but I think that's largely due to the fact that pets suck really bad in GW1 and 95% of the time no ranger will ever bring one.

While I don't think it takes a huge investment of resources to make a jingle pet (add bells to random white animal that already exists) I would far rather they invest there time into something I might actually use like a new weapon skin or festival hat or something.

The jingle bear already existed as an art asset for a Wintersday quest in Elona. The jingle moa was very similair to the art asset that already existed in the wintersday moa in one of the EotN dungeons.

Bells on the claws. Maybe not a collar. I envision it sporting a santa hat and scuttling sideways.
