Only reason I would think that can't be right, is because didn't ppl say, a few pages back, that the .dat miners didn't find anything new mini wise? Or did I miss something?

Sorry, it was a WTB. And it is quite possible someone was posting it as a hoax. I tried to talk to the toon - no response, but wanted to relay what I saw just in case...

I've heard this from two different sources now, you being the third.

Did anyone catch that before all posts in 15 section earlier this morning that were deleted, caught the screen of person saying he got Miniature Panda from 7th year present, wondering if that was real or fake to be honest.

It was fake - hence deleted to prevent rumors and thoughts like yours from occurring.

Like poster above me said it was fake. It was made as a joke showing how easily it could be faked and how people could "troll" this page.

I understand them not wanting to give away the secrets of the presents but its a little strange that no one has gotten a single one yet.

So if the algorithms haven't changed in the past year or so, these stackable presents should choose the pet on opening.

Right...how does WTB prove there is a mini? It only proves that people want to buy it if there is one. Don't post screenshots unless it is a screenshot of the actual mini please. ty

Has anyone thought that, seeing as no one has seen these new minis (urgoz/monolith), that people are just doing this to push up the price of unopened gifts?

Ofc, and that's why the previous unproven hints on uber minis were deleted from this thread. I guess all the latter ones will be as well...

why? stumme said there's mini's in it that never have been in bday pressies, so it could be true, and even if those arent, there's something "new", so prices go up anyway

i could be that people do that, but there will be some (or just one) which never have been seen from from these pressies, so prices dont go up that much.... unless most people didnt read that o_O

Well, I remember myself with few buddies spamming "WTB BBoH, 100e" and having bidding war (110e, 115e... 125e and willing to negotiate price... ) and if anyone asked what BBoH was, we'd call him a noob or that someone who had one would know...

There was, of course, no BBoH.

It was entertaining.

New minis introduced this year are likely visible in the .DAT file.

I don't know how to explore .DAT content, but it should be fairly easy to check.

Well that and I was waiting to finish a couple of missions/VQs in Tyria to maximize my Z-coin profits so I can sell them and get the rest of my Z-keys for my PvP title.

With this anniversary celebration, I can finish it now -

I have 38 of 50 in my HoM. I still have to get my Obsidian armor and some more of my weapons. I will have 50/50 by the time GW2 launches.

So how exactly is GWAMM a reward for loyalty when I've been playing a little over a year and a half, and they've been playing for seven years? And none of this, incidentally, takes into account how much easier several of my titles were compared to what those players had to do to get theirs.

Three words: Spammable drunk points.

I know I know! I hated it. Finished my drunk title maybe several months before they made it ridiculously easier. And don't forget survivor! Holy hell.

This is my reasoning behing thinking there isn't a new new mini in them....someone would have found it by now, imo. This just makes me think its one of the really rare one, just no proof yet.

So still no news on 7th birthday extreme rare ones. Well i got an Eye of Janthir and Adelbern, at least some rarer ones. Could we revive the research page on gw-wiki, to examine the drop chance?

I don't really understand all the conspiracy theories or anxiety some of the people here present..
Here is how I see it:
-JS literally wrote that there are other than past years' purp/gold/green minis in these gifts
-JS also said they are rare
-no data has been dug out by .dat miners, which leads to an assumption there may actually be asian minis in these gifts
-if the above one is true; aNet woldn't want to flood the market with newborn asian minis; which leads to another assumption: they are REALLY rare. Even if there would be ONE asian mini popping out of these gifts per month it would be a huge ammount

True, but at the current rate of people seeing the WTS/WTB and the pics etc, I'm under the impression even if we DID get a legit screen or whatnot, no one would believe it anyway. There could be a few "new" minis, the rare ones, that people HAVE gotten from bday gifts, just no one believes them. Just my thoughts on that.

The GW.dat doesn't seem to have new miniature icons. So any other miniatures in 7th year presents are probably already existing ones.

Someone tried to edit the wiki to add a few miniatures, like the asian ones, but others removed them.

My guess is that any uncommon, rare and unique miniature from previous birthdays and and miniature that can't be obtained in-game anymore has a chance to drop from these presents.

But then, if you got a panda or a Kanaxai in the 7th birthday, would you announce it so its price drops slightly as their numbers would no longer be limited, or be greedy, keep it to yourself, prevent at all costs this from being know and pretend to sell it with its usual price?
