How about year 7 motivational quotes!

The last thing Gw needs is more tonics and minipets. There are so many already...

How bout something that gives your player the same glow that monster bosses have. Like if your 7th year is an elementalist then you get that red glow that elementalist bosses have etc.

Not sure about a single free costume, I can already see everybody running around with it and all looking the same...what a headache! I know I know not so many have a such old account but still...at some point I see it happening more or less.

Nobody has stated this yet?

I want a boss glow/aura. Either have different colors, or just select a color based on profession.

/agree on the boss glow. Considering we (the player) killed a god, destroyed several races (or at least made them endangered species), toppled nations, and committed any number of lesser grievances (btw, I still laugh over the WoC mission involving the bad guys ranting about the player), a boss glow is well overdue.

Although whatever the 7th year thing is, I agree it needs to be over the top since I'm guessing (hoping?) that this is the last year before GW2 is officially released.

I'd like the following:
- Toymakers:
* They can show them miniatures and they'll either dedicate them for you, or or just unlock them so once you enter the HoM with a character, they'll be added.
* Any miniature dedicated in the HoM is also unlocked for them.
* They can make replicas of any unlocked miniature.
* They can also take away everlasting items tonics and crates, destroying the item in the process. In exchange, they can make replicas.
* Replicas can't be dropped, sold nor traded, and can be made as many times as you want, for 10g each.
* They can exchange 7th birthday present tokens.

- Miniature slot:
* When you put a miniature there, it gets a 'show' icon, so you can show/hide it in town or outpost like costumes and headgear. In outpost they'll try to show as soon as you enter if they are set to 'show'. But there's still the 20 miniature limit.

- 7th birthday present: Birthday Tokens
* A 7th birthday present may be 7 white tokens, 4 purple tokens, 2 gold tokens or a single green token. You can give them to toy makers to unlock any other birthday present you don't have already added to their list. For miniatures and tonics that are not birthday presents, the only way to unlock them is still finding the original.
* They do not stack. This is so they take a lot of space and you use them as soon as possible.
an do whatever you want with that.
The tokens would reappear in subsequent years. This present it's no longer about what you may get, but about getting what you never could before.

That's what I want for the next birthday.

I think the Boss Glow / Aura is the best suggestion yet - whatever class your character is, that's what colour Aura you get...that'd look awesome, it'd immediately distinguish 7th year players, however it's not something that could be sold or could provide a game-skewing benefit.

The boss aura wouln't do.

It is used in PvP to indicate NPCs. And in PvE for, well. Bosses.

So make it disabled for PvP and for PvE you're fine unless miraculously you start taking friendly fire from your heroes somehow

The reason is that it makes you able to get what you really like AND it makes it unattended for the future of the game.
Card idea is nice.. maybe opening present would give a random amount of cards, from 1-50 cards? The most expensive item to trade for would then also be worth 50 cards.

Costumes, based on NPC's outfits. Sounds good.

Ever since the first not-free special costumes i wanted free not-special costumes!

I like the token choose-your-reward idea.

Just make rewards relevant for 7 year old characters that are getting ready for GW1 sunset (= stuff that helps with titles and hom).

That would include:
* Assortment of minipets
* Possibly hero armor tokens
* Consumable titles consumables and other stuff that helps with grindly titles like xp scrolls, conset consumables, zkeys, summons, consumable items that add to rep titles (and possibly wisdom, lucky, etc...)
* Crafting materials used for prestige armor sets/hom weapons.
* Possibly other tokens to allow lots of diffrent rewards. (zcoins, medals of honor, end-of-game tokens, even armbraces)

Other than that, whatever can be sold to other players for profit would be fine. :-)

hmm, maybe some new gifts with new stuff, i like opening gifts
but then with consumables and some inscribable weapons, maybe party weapons: staff with nice colors and such, lol

maybe a festival hat, a happy birthday hat of course
and maybe such costume, who knows

happy birthday npc for that maybe

hmm, really thinking atm

new bag slot for a normal bag maybe? 7 years old char gets new bag, yay
and maybe in pre you can put in charr bags and in post you can put a normal bag (or charr bag bought/obtained from someone who has it/pre charr) in that spot

maybe just new mini's, every year has some i like myself

thats all i can think off atm

Hmm. I kinda wonder...if a lot of people wouldn't LIKE costumes as BDay gifts. I personally would, but I know a lot of my friends don't particularly like costumes and would rather show their armor. Plus, a lot of people LIKE being able to sell their pressies for profit when they first come out. The boss aura thing would be cool too but poses the same question. I'd personally like either, but I wonder if this is why they stick to tradeable tonics, minis, etc.

Whatever they do, I'd like them to make it one specific, non-random thing, and I want it to be untradable.

I would love it if it was something untradeable. Maybe for once I can enjoy my present and not feel pressured to sell it.

I like the idea of the boss aura or even like an emote or something. EL tonics are out of control, please no more. Same with pets.

I would love the mini myself. Maybe make it similar to the mercenary. You get a mini me token, take it to registrar and it turns into a mini replica of yourself as you look when you register it.

Pet tonics. Some forms (moa, white moa, rainbow phoenix) exist already in the mysterious tonic, but I'd love to walk around town in Panda or Polar bear form.

I would be down getting even white versions of those like the Flamingo tonic. Or gator.

I'd love pet tonics as well, even the forms that already exist in the mysterious tonic are too random to be called already avalaible.

an EL Black Moa would just be too much fun.

Boss Auras! Totally! This needs to happen!

How about a customizable title? Type whatever you want to appear under your name (within already established naming guidelines and conventions of course)

I really like the toymaker idea. Although, any mini crafted by said toymaker would have to be untradable. If they weren't, it would fluctuate the rare mini market. But, I really would like to see this implemented.

What about a new pet? Use exisiting skins and match them to your class. So for instance and Ele would get a saltspray dragon and a war would get a kveldulf. Those are just examples. Oh the pet would take the place of a hero on your bar so as not to favor the ranger class.

Yeah, why not?

But if people don't like it that's cool, it was just a suggestion. Just don't need any more tonics or minis.

The best gift for my (character's) 7th birthday would be a GW2 beta or early access key (that is of course unless GW2 releases before the anniversary).

As much as I'm a strong supporter of free trade in mmorpgs I'd really like It to be something cool that is not tradeable - I don't want yet again feel I should sell it day 1 or otherwise I'm losing XXX% value.
It could be a hat, costume, special aura, or even a title (not maxable, with a number showing number of years).

I always craved for that one. Its, by far, the best sin armor.

I like the idea of a set of new free costumes. But.. I really dont see that coming.

A new title, like "Tyrian Ancient" would be nice.

I also like the idea of an exclusive non-tradeable weaponset being avaliable to us by craft/gift/quest reward

More EL tonics? noty.

I really like the idea of the Canthan Costumes! That would be great. I always admired them.

I wouldn't mind seeing an Everlasting Bee tonic.....however I think by now most people in the community realize that I want this. LOL!

Maybe we could have a mini set based off of GW 2 Professions and Races? (Would be a nice preview)

Minipet Storage? That would be great to store all the minipets we have been collecting over the past 6-7 years

But if they continue with EL tonics, I want this:

I always hoped for a mini of that, but an EL tonic would be even nicer!

my esp (which only works on my hubby and a few close friends), says this sounds pretty dang feasible....think about it, last year we had the hero tonics, we already have beastie tonics (ooze, hellhound, etc)...and since they arent going the route of the minipet ---they might just be continuing on with the stupid tonic route instead.

I am for an aura or tokens to get the previous minis we are missing (have YET to get a green bday mini )
