What did you get from your 7th year birthday present?

You must be quiet for some, I just wanted to show that there was a version of exploitable minis. 
By the way, I just made a new version of the entire map of the Zaishen Menagerie, check it out!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Hound of Balthazar was a possible new mini.

Why did they bother to make 7th birthday presents stackable?
What possible purpose could this serve?
Are we all going to have so many 7th birthday presents, that we need to stack them?!
The mind boggles.
Perhaps they're going to rain from the sky in some kind of 7th birthday finale event.

this may just be something i mixed together in my head that make no sense what-so-ever but isnt it usually the case that bday presents dont give out new things till the actual date on the 28th or am i Potato.

They did twitter that a lot of the new presents are old ones, but not just the common ones. They're going to possibly be the mini panda or other sorts. And it does state the same on gw wiki, maybe not specifically the panda (although in their twitter they announced it *could* be the panda), but they did say some might be the rare minis. We can only interpret what that means.

I only have one 6th year spawned after the 7th ones started appearing and it doesn't stack with old 6ths (as expected). |

By the time last year we already had a complete list of the presents' contents and now we haven't seen even 1 new mini! Can really ALL the new minis COMBINED have a droprate of less than 1%?
I expected the rarity distribution of the 7th minis to be like:
- Old purples - common as whites in previous year presents (~80%)
- Old golds/greens - uncommon like purples in previous presents (~15%)
- New minis - rare like golds/greens in 1-6th year presents (~5%)

Please stop fail trolling.

So I have my one and only 7th year unopened pres. Do I wait or open now or sell it? My next pres will not be for a couple of more months. What to do...
Asia Skyly
I would hold on to it. Opening it will give you a junk mini anyway.
jayson
What's the benefit of holding on to it and not opening the present?
Asia Skyly
Hope... You hold on to the hope that Anet has screwed up, that there will be an update that "unlocks"the 7th year mini etc.

Remember to transfer your gift 13 times between accounts, spit 2 times behind your shoulder, take three steps backwards and do a backflip, walk under the ladder then open the gift on the account with most points in hom calculator.
jayson
Well yeah, you can always hope. But what if the present has one of those supposed rare minis in it?
tonini

esthetic

Do we have to be in specific places to get them? I've been mining for drops but haven't seen hide nor hair of the actual "birthday gifts".

You get subsequent presents on following birthdays. Every year has a different selection of minis to choose from.

I do know this because some wiki friends and I tested stuff from time to time when we had the opportunity, in this case it involved an instance-reset.
My personal conclusion was that stackable items are really identical for the game, so the content of most of these presents is not determined until you open it. Thus there is a reason why birthday series 1 to 5 (and 6?) do not stack.
Now I'd guess that they either intentionally used different coding for this year's presents, or (and I think this one is more likely) they simply could not use the regular birthday present template, since this birthday present can contain at least 30 different things, not 14. Consequently, they probably used the more general code for presents and had more important things to spend their time to than adapting the "predefined content and thus non-stacking"-part, so that the 7th series is more alike to "Coffers of Whispers" or "Gifts of the Huntsman" than to the former birthday presents.
Hanok Odbrook
How dare Anet make allow all the rarer minis drop from this year's birthday presents. They are uncommon and rare for a reason. This shows an absolute disrespect for the high end traders whose income depends on the rarity and price of these minis. They have done nothing but dumb down this game over the past 7 years since day 1 and catered to the lazy player time after time. I have had it with GW - epic fail here and I certainly won't be supporting GW2 - I hope it fails so epically that it'll go down in the history books as the poster boy for fails.
Hanok
oh yea, /sarcasm by the way. Thanks Anet, finally a chance to perhaps complete the mini collection. Well played.

So,no1 has gotten any of the non-old pets from the 7th present yet?
jayson
Yeah I'm curious to know if anyone has gotten any mini pets not listed on the wiki 7th year presents.
Kiki Go Boom
Maybe the reason why we aren't seeing any of these other minis is because everyone is holding onto their presents and not opening them? Only way we'll ever find out is if as many people open it as possible.
cosyfiep
oh theory time!
well, one reason may be that a lot of the 7th year-ers are not playing gw this weekend and wont log in to find out their gift until late sunday night
perhaps after reading what minis they could get from the wikis--only the previous years ones are listed--they have decided not to open them and just put them in storage
and for the conspiracy seekers--the other minis are a lie! (cake anyone?)
I would wait until monday and then start wondering what they are since people are obviously not either checking or just dont care about them right now.

tonini
it could be a possibility that when the beta is over they might notice an error in the presents so by monday when the beta is over and the current gw administration not so busy dealing with server issues and such they might notice something or john stumme honestly didnt know...?
cosyfiep
...or it could just have been hype to make people want to open the gifts saying something else might be inside.....
I am more inclined to believe people havent opened them or just havent logged in to check after seeing the wiki say only old stuff in the gifts.

I got a mini Mad King Thorn (3rd year green) from my only 7th year birthday present so far.
Won't get another 7th birthday present for another 4 months... and by then I might be playing GW2, and not caring about GW1 stuff any more.
