What did you get from your 7th year birthday present?
Premium Unleaded
Isn't there usually a couple people rummaging through the .dat? Surprised they haven't said anything yet.

You guys are trying rly hard to destroy GW1 so we'll buy GW2 huh? |

I am so disappointed. I have always associated Anet with creativity. There is nothing creative about this. It is a complete cop-out.
While many of you did not like the 6th year Tonics, I thought they were creative and great! Even Norgu!
This... is a slap in the face. Nothing says we don't care like reusing the same old mini's for the player who have been with you from the start; and that is disappointing.
I expected better... a lot better.
Guild Wars had a great run. 7th year gifts were supposed to be the glorious ending to an awesome tradition. The event is sensational. I thought it was going to have an amazing ending with a great 7th year gift. Instead it is a terrible, just terrible ending to a great game.

I can't really blame ANet for recycling birthday presents, it has to happen soon since GW2 is about to be released. Maybe it would have been more popular if everyone gets this new 1 or the other ultra rare mini pets for their 6th birthday presents instead.

Decided to open mine and got a Flowstone Elemental.
ah well, not that I need money I'd get from selling unopened but the feeling is not cool.

so basically we're getting purple/green/gold mini's from all previous years now?
Well, I can't even log in today... 040 errors. I want my hellhound!

Well I am happy I did a different preorder than Gw2 as the support here for the last several years has been abysmal. I understand the need to recycle pets but just a heads up to your PR marketing people/dev team its a bad idea to abandon a game with repeats/lack of support before your sequel is actually released.

And also supposedly adds a few rare minuatures so people who have been chasing a certain one for years may actually get it. I'm all for this

And if those rare minis are the super rare ones already in the game - well, OK, I still think its stupid to dump on so many to give massive rewards to a tiny few. But if they are brand new ones which will only rub salt in the wounds of those who were disappointed, well that will be just a level of incompetence to which most game designers can only hope to aspire. So keeping my fingers crossed they are nagas and pandas and not something totally unexpected.

another chance of getting eye of janthir, as i like that one, and maybe 1 i dont like which is rare, so can sell to get that eye mini 
getting the hound as pet is great, but repeating mini's like this also can give others which they didnt get and still want
i didnt get much worthy mini's, but i just wanted that eye of janthir
and candysmith marley is also nice, so who knows
would be cool to gte normally unobtainable ones, like panda.... or just that brown rabbit (s its my luck which sux, lol)
anyway, i cant wait to see what new minis we get
i at least have 2 (very small) chances of getting white rabbit in pre it seems
with a small luck % its good to see older ones (especially if the ones i like) come back
they may do this every year imo
and john, we're at the same low luck level, as i gave away some cheap ones a few years ago, and noone wanted that elf o_O that was for free, but i did manage to lose it to someone, yay
i think its nicer to see small new things added to GW instead of just new bday pressies (like a few things in the suggestions section)
and even the repeating of mini's is nice if you never had the luck to get the ones you wanted, and didnt wanna buy em all (or just couldnt due to higher prices, like i had with eye of janthir, so maybe i get it now... nah, luck still too low, lol)
so thx for at least giving something PLUS a few new mini's

I almost have a full set of minis, I am kinda of sad that the 7th year is going to be mostly recycled minis from previous years. Even if the are the purple/gold/green only. I have several chars. that have b-days coming up so it is not that I am lacking in possibly getting those minis. over again.
Did not expect that the 7th year was a chance for more minis I already have :/

I like it. Finally, I don't have to feel the yearly annoyance that I screwed myself out of a lot of platinum because I deleted all my existing characters 2 months before the first birthday event.
June Bug
It would be super funny if the pressies dropped all kinds of minis... including Kanaxais, Pandas, Polar Bears and such. :P I'm guessing that's wishful thinking though.
thelessa
It would not be do disappointing if the really rare minis were the ones that came in the 7th year (Kanaxais, Pandas, Polar Bears etc.) With the golds and greens from previous years. But I am betting that won't happen... The purple minis are just too common.
Hoping for a post of a rare 7th year mini, not just the previous years purple/gold/green. So that there just might be something to look forward to when mine come do.

if its true... lol to the people with a kanaxai.

can someone post a pic of receiving one of the asian or other wise super rare miantures

I don't believe it until I see it! If I can finally get a Panda... I had given up on it, since the price is out of reach of normal people.

IF THIS IS TRUE... They will eventually be within most people's price range, and the most expensive pet in the game will be, in-fact, Polar Bear.

Well it wouldn't be surprising if it was true. Looks like someone already raged and changed wiki.
But i would wait till we get a official conformation.

As I posted in the other thread:
3 presents:
Zhu Hanuku (5th year gold)
Lich (2nd year gold)
Jora (4th year purple)
I am guessing that these are "pre-presents" and more presents are to come the next few days (the birthday is on the 28th, today is too early).

Man, if any of the super rare pets are in these presents that's going to be a huge B.Slap to the people with wealth in this game. I'm all for it being fair that people can get the minis they want, if that is introduced at the start. Some people worked hard for their wealth and having all that work slip away would not be cool.
Mind you I would be one of the people happy that I could buy all the minis, but I wouldn't think it was fair at this point.
I'm going to go ahead and believe that Anet would not add them to the presents anyway, as that would be ridiculous.
....and please don't wine and say you should be able to get every pet. There should be things for people to work towards in game, and there is nothing saying you need to have them all.
I know some people will hate me for this, but please don't just troll without thinking about it. (and in no way am I saying I would lose out here. I only have one high-end pet)
EDIT: Did anyone search the .dat file for new pets yet?

I would love to have every mini pet, but I know that is just not going to happen. I just think it is sad that we are having a redux on the previous mini pets.
This is the 7th B-day, I had hoped for something a little more special.
