Thing is, I and many of my consorts have had the itch to delete one of our older characters before ANet introduced a yearly birthday gift to commemorate the creation of our characters.
Many of us also don't have the access to a credit card so we can buy additional slots so we can freely create and play our new characters.
I've probably owned about 20 characters (just from PvE!) and somehow I feel that it's an achievement to have had my account for 6 years, but I only have two characters that are already over 5 years of age.
I'd think it would be nice to get a small item or achievement to show that our accounts are of a certain age. I'm not sure how or what could be implemented so it wouldn't be unfair to others, but I just believe that it's quite an achievement to have had a 6 year old account.
Cheers
An account-based gift for your 'Birthday?'

It's long been an annoyance that my oldest character is 8 months younger than my account. Back in the 'no more than 4 character slots' days, I deleted my 2 oldest characters (which I wasn't really playing anymore) to make room for 2 new characters, so I could try the remaining 2 professions. Six years into the game it seems a bit late to do something about it though.

It would seem reasonable, that when the account hits the 6 year mark for something to come your way to commemorate it.
If the celebration commemorates the players "loyalty to the game" then age of character shouldn't be the deciding factor.
I could play the game continuously creating new characters each year and get nothing or I could start one character play for a week and never touch the game again till now and get the goodies.
I came into the game 8 months after it came out so will get my year 6 mini next year.

Actually I agreed. Never knew about the gifts until I deleted some characters.

It took me some time and maturity to stop deleting my characters. I'm indeed sorry that I deleted my 2005 warrior, ranger and elementalists. But I do believe that an acount based gift is better. You don't have so many mini/gifts in the market if it is based on 1 acount rather wide chracters range.

I am in the same situation as many here. I never knew about gifts, till i joined the first guild. So my account its almost 7 months older than my characters. So

As long as I still get the characters' birthday gifts. I would rather have 32 gifts every year than just 4.

my dad gave me his account and immediatly got one, hell if not get commemorated for our age of our account we should get as many presetns as characters every birthday of the account... 8(characters)X(year)6
i agree hell most of didnt even know about hats or minis either.
they should give us a chance to recover an old player.

The call for everything to be simplified so everyone can get things easier has gone to far in this game.
Dont get me wrong its a great idea.But the whole point is to give your Character a Birthday....that Character accomplished being on your account for year and the continuing years.....

Been playing 5 and a half years.
Oldest character is 2 years.
and even I think this is a bad idea.

My account is 6 years old and I always regret deleting my first toons until I was happy with what I picked. I wouldn't even mind if the account-based gived was auto customised either, it would just be nice to get something to show for account age not character age.

My point is Anet gives us something, and people immediately ask Anet to simplify it.

If anything, the people who have been lucky enough not to have deleted characters before there ever was any indication that there would be birthday presents, are the ones who have it 'simple'. (By your weird definition of the word simple.) Because I'm sure my 6th birthday presents aren't going to be worth 200 ecto when I get them 8 months from now.

A single "gift" of some sort to commemorate playing the game for six years is a good idea, because basing it just on a surviving character proves nothing.
Some idiot "like me" could buy extra Character slots "Which I did" and could have say 14 characters each getting birthday minis and any other goodies.
Having a six year old character does not prove you have played the game for six years that character could be lvl 1 and in presearing with 6 minis and an everlasting tonic as a "Reward" for game loyalty.
While an account based gift doesn't prove you played the game any more than a character based one does it at least reward those who for whatever reason deleted their original characters.

It isn't an idea to simplify anything , either way it's a waiting game, it just adds gifts based on account age rather than just character age.

@Aba: What you're failing to see is that he just wants a separate gift for account age. He's not asking for a 6th year birthday present for each char that was created 6 years ago but was deleted before their birthday arrived. Because even though I personally don't, many people in this game play it hours on end each and every day, so keeping more than one character for 6 years is a simple waste of time and extremely boring. But it would be nice for them to maybe have a gift to remind them that they did indeed start the game 6 years ago.
It's not making it easier to get anything. He wants a new something that you couldn't even get before.
Personally, I'm indifferent about it. I wouldn't want it to be anything too significant, but maybe a small reminder that you're however-old wouldn't hurt

Maybe not a birthday gift, but I deleted my ranger from May 2005 when I got back into the game in Dec, 2006.
I personally would like an emote for an account age indicator/reward.
You can buy a 6th year minipet for your character, but an emote is real proof of how old/new school you are.
