I may be wrong ( I've only opened 2 1st year gifts, lol) but I don't remember that actually appearing in chat from the bday gifts?

Bought an unded vizu two days ago, seller claimed it came from a birthday present. The price I got it for suggests that he was telling the truth.

So, we can wrap this up now? We've got the proof we needed from two different sources. I'm pretty sure that now that it's confirmed, more will come in, in case some people held back screenies.

Time to start duping 7th year pressies for some I guess..

well we can now expect a crash in value for dedicated 'high' end minis.

So what exactly would the value of these minis be now that we know they drop from the presents?

I got a Water Djinn and a Charr Shaman so I don't imagine they're going to be too common. But I imagine the days of high ectos are gone or soon will be.

Could it be possible that they forgot to add minis in previous gifts and " rare " ones are in new ones ( for example all gifts after 5th may ( just an example ) ) ... I'm noticing suddenly more asians sold out, and some screens everywhere

its pretty evident that most of the asian minis are dropping, unded shiroken going for 100a flat in kamadan, so it has already dropped by 30%+

I think this to. It really shows you how far the trading community in GWs has fallen.

People in kamadan still denying that the minis drop from 7th b-day presents. Don't understand why though, its all RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing pixels.

As those are the only three that people haven't been claiming before now, I'd say that they're the only Asian ones where the jury is still out.

It wouldn't make sense to not include Kanaxai, IG and Panda with the others. Why screw over everyone but a few?

You also have to consider that the duping exploit may obscure these minis from appearing as legit drops from presents, that is if they are drops. One would think that these minis are the number one target for dupers.

Ive gotten a couple bone dragons, a burning titan, freezie and a couple eye of janthirs. I have many accounts with quite a few pve mules from my old pvp days. Glad i kept some of my original created mules. Nothign too exciting yet.

Now that the news is out.. I hope you're all happy with what's new for you.

I only care about that MKG. But I'm not even playing, so I guess I don't care at all.
I hope you all make money now. Enjoy it.

On the EXTREMELY LOW chance I get an asian mini on my last 7th year, I won't be selling it. I have no desire for ectos or imaginary money. However the minis are kind of cool. Well the Oni is to me anyway.

I just lol'd hard.

I think there are enough 7th year presents out there, and yet it's still a mystery if asian pets drop.
Screen's or it didn't happen.

There is a blurry screen of the chat of one single Oni, nothing more.

Maybe a Zhed and maybe another Oni, but no other minis.

I think part of that "bug" fix update the other day actually fixed the present problem that was happening. I dunno that they were actually dropping at the intended rate prior to that fix.

Cool deal though. The game is going the way of the proverbial dodo bird soon, so why not add some sweet stuff into the mix? Thanks for the cool stuff anet.

I have many questions...

Why does it seem like more have been found in short span over the last couple days?
Dupers or did update change ratios since no one had provided proof earlier... What to do with my 2 or 3 7th years.

IDK what the asian mini owners did to the people who decided to ruin their collections, but this is still RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up. Maybe someone belittled someone for only having a mini gwen and that person was working at ncsoft and got the ball rolling. What could have made them want to ruin one of the biggest money sinks in game?
IMO GW2. If they kill everything you love about gw1....

Looking at it from another angle... 5-6 years ago many complained they couldn't get asian minis. Maybe in 3-4 years the bday gifts will give buffs to the step child classes and make them a balanced part of pve.
