I feel that after buying ALOT of costumes recently, asking for a simple reskin is a drop in the bucket compared to a new set of costumes. And can be done with minimal effort.
I vote for a Jingle Raven. At least it would explain where the White Raven got its start.

You mean to tell me that just because you wouldn't use it, you think it should not be put in the game at all? Thats what voting No says.
If anything, voting No is "anyone who doesn't agree with or think exactly the same way you do doesn't deserve to have anything in the game."

Following the trend, if they are going to do a new one this year the most logical route to go would be the reindeer. They've already got a "jingle" model and skin, probably all they'd need would be some animations that they likely lack currently.
All that said though, I don't particularly care if we get a new one or not. As you said not many people use pets even after the pet update a while back. So the pets just end up being like the candy weapons, cute festive items that you forget about for the other 11 months of the year.

I said nothing about how I voted or if I even did so it's a pretty wild jump to toss up your " " with in inacurate quote of what I mentioned in an earlier post as an attempt to know where I stand but you seem to believe you know other peoples motives already so it's not completely surprising.
I merely mentioned that it's interesting seeing the mindset that anyone not agreeing with you was doing it just to be mean.

I vote for Jingle Pig (warthog)!

When I use the word "you" for instance I am referring to you, not some random group of unknown people, for them I would use the term random group of unknown people, for people in general I would probably go with something along the lines of people in general but thats just me.
was not quoting me? the use of " " with the exact words I used as well as a few you added towards the end in the post of mine that you quoted must have confused me on that part.
"presumptuous" ?
how ever could I get the idea you were talking to me when you quoted a post of mine {commonly reffered to as "reply"} as well as misquoted statements of mine in that same "reply"
anyway I'm bored with you now and shall move along, have a nice day!

i voted for "yes"
i got all ranger pets in GW charmed (without pet unlock pack)
also, the "they should use their time on GW2" reactions kinda say more like "let em do nothing about GW1, just cuz i dont need anything" IMO
if you think GW is good as it is, why do you still play, if you did everything up until now?
/endofftopicrant
sure, more pets would be cool, we have a menagerie for a reason: ranger pets
so lets use it some more, cant hurt anyone, it'd be a bit of work (at least way less than the upcoming contents) so it wouldnt hurt us, anet or any game they have (GW and GW2 in this case), and new stuff always make people happy
anyway, i'd like to train another pet to unlock it with hearty (which i always use)
what kind... hmmmm, maybe jingle rat, widow or pig
those would be funny
make of it whatever you want, i like the idea

If there is no jingle pet this year, it better because they are working on a MiniPet Battle Arena where we fight with minis.

If we drop all the trivial stuff then the Dervish mod could come in a couple of hours earlier.

Ha! I'm seeing some suggestions for pets that crossed my mind -- jingle rat, jingle crab!
But I am So. On. Board. for jingle reindeer. I don't care if they attack or not, they are the cutest things ever and I mostly only do the Wintersday quests to see them. I'm glad I voted Yes before the "Meh" option was added.

I don't really want one just because I don't want to have to keep doing that quest chain every year to avoid missing out on some exclusive reward. I'm not thinking about now so much as I'm thinking 5 years down the line.

We wanted to keep the number of tame-able pets to a reasonable number and keep the asset list manageable, therefore, with regret, we decided to remove the hippo. -- Gaile 01:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC).

Most pets use a common base model that already exists in the game (rainbow phoenix, phoenix, eagle, black bear, polar bear, jingle bear, moa bird, flamingo, crane etc). Here is the quote form Gaile:
So adding a new pet which uses an already existing skeleton is fine, but new skeletons (like the hippo or the reindeer) have the above problem. If they did add another jingle pet it would probably an alteration of an already existing pet for this reason, not the introduction of a whole new skeleton. |

They could even take the Kidnapped Reindeer and just use that existing model:

Variety is a major piece of keeping any game interesting.

They should really do a Scrooge costume for players, sure to be a huge seller.
I am guessing here that had they asked if we wanted festivals at all someone would have said don't waste resources on trivialities.
Trouble is what is trivial to one player is good fun to someone else.
Pretty sure we could find players that disapproved of every game change ever made.

Maybe there is another sub team working on it.
Oh well, i can't help it if certain individuals don't like pretty things, not up to the x'mas spirit, and want dervish builds as soon as possible just for their own benefits and usefulness. It doesn't hurt to rest abit and enjoy the christmas spirits rather than working in questing your ass off.

I'd have to split my vote for a Jingle Hog or a Jingle Crab. I'd prefer the hog, been a fan of them since I first bumped those Prize-Winning hogs back into their pen all those years ago.

techincally we could only put some pets in our hom. but i bet that didnt stop people from capping them all. xD i sooo would love a winters day raindeer or wolf.
