What did you get from your 7th year birthday present?
Fire Turok
Hello. I figured this question is on a lot of our minds, wondering what others got from there gifts! So, post what you got here, include screenshots (if possible) so we can see what they give!

I haven't heard a single thing about 7th year bday presents if they even exist
Master Pedo Bear
Opened two 7th year b-day presents. Main was an Eye of Janthir. Alt was a Freezie. Recycling minis ftw???

I still suggest people stop posting about supposedly getting old minis without proof

The anniversary isn't until the 28th I think. No one should be getting presents yet.

Hmmmm
I can't believe they would intentionally recycle minis when there are already a glut of them out there - wonder if this is a bug. Maybe people should wait to open for a few days and see.

If they really wanted to recycle old gifts I think the thing to do would have been to wait for one more year after people are into gw2 and then let everyone know in advance that from 8 onward gifts will be random recycles from previous years.

yeah that is a very sad way to abandon gw...good thing I have to wait until this summer to get more hydras and joras (got FOUR joras--and yeah purples are totally worthless).
guess my only surprise will be if I ever see a green birthday mini when I open a birthday gift

Looks like the one year i won't make a killing selling off new minis... like it would matter... HoM is done
This b-day event is lame all around for players that don't need piles of title points... at-least there beta....

On the 'up' side at least there will be a lot of otherwise unwanted purple,gold and green minis being dumped into the game that we can give to new players who recently took up GW1 simply to earn their HoM goodies.
Mireles
ehh it will dump minis in yeah... but not at anymore of an increased rate as before.... not that many characters around turning 7 anyway..... at-least they didn't recycle tonics instead....

got a stupid nornbear, way to end an era...

I got a burning titan

So from what ive gathered, 7th mini's are recycled minis from the past 5 sets, but ... everyone seems to be getting purple/gold and green? .. no whites or am i wrong
zwei2stein
Well ... it is better than tonics.
Ramei Arashi
So once again paragon gets shafted? No paragon mini, only profession without one.
Yawgmoth
So it's exactly what I expected to happen on 6th birthday (and on every one since then). It is now likely they will do the same for 8th and forward, perhaps adding the more rare tonics to the mix as well.
But they could have added a couple new ones, a mini Hounds of Balthazar for instance.

kind of reminds me of the year when I got the same christmas gift from my aunt...I had not wanted it the first time around and seeing as I got yet another one---
yeah, I dont see them doing anything else for gw, the live team has left the building, enjoy the last hurrah and pray that gw2 comes out before enough people are hopping mad about the mess they left behind in gw1......
(though I too, am glad no more tonics!)

i got a mini ooze :/
i really hoped for something cool, but at least that means nothing to distract from the gw2 beta

There are some minis that are not repeats from the presents of previous years - they're just rare. Of course, with my luck being what it is, I pulled a Miniature Elf. XP
cosyfiep
well thanks for letting us know John (your luck is probably better than mine--have NEVER gotten a green mini with well over 150 opened gifts)!
so now we wait to see what the uber rare 7th year minis are......
waiting....

Well this was, ehh, unexpected...
I get the idea behind it if it's getting the rarer pets to lower in price for all those who are having a hard time aquiring them for their hall and all, but...
what about the people that have been playing for 7 years who get shafted with the old minipets?
I'm a fanboy, but this seriously sucks!
Edit: Just read John's post and sure it makes up for it, but why on earth reruns? oh well we'll see I guess.

But kinda a sucky way to treat those 7 year veterans out there who should have had one last hurrah. The huge number of drops mean little to them since most of them have already completed the consumable tracks. The new pet is nice but it's for everyone. They probably need these second hand minis less than any other players in the game. And I don't think a very few people getting a new rare mini makes up for treating the rest of 7 year players to junk. Probably the idea was invented by the same guy who set the drop rate for mini polar bears. The one thing the 7 year vets could look forward to in the celebration was seeing the new surprise gifts in their inventory - and now that has been taken away from them when they discover their 15 mini shaman. So basically the ones who have been faithful to the game since the beginning are getting way less out of this celebration than anyone else. Not a nice way to treat the long term players, guys, not nice at all.
Time to assume the cone of shame, gentlemen, the cone of shame.

Very uncool approach with the extremely uneven value distribution at 7th year. Normally I'm a great fan of high randomization of rewards but presents are something special and especially 7th year presents which are very rare themselves. It really should have been more even value instead of going into extremes. So it's a 10k or 1000e lottery that will leave the great majority disappointed.

being free doesn't turn a bad design decision into a good one - it's just free badness and that's never a good thing.

Anyways I think it is a bit unfair to be rude towards Anet, I can understand the disappointment tbh, and I did hope for more at this event too, even though I do not have a char turning 7. But they did add something new, even if it only really caters to people that still need HoM and titles... kinda.
I am still hoping for a bit more later, if not.... well I will be playing gw2 in the weekend.
The Mountain
Dunno, I'd rather have a lottery shot at a hundred odd braces than just another white 7th year mini/tonic that is worth 50e or so
