Mini-pets! It's what we got for keeping a character 12 months right, but what about 24 months? What would YOU like?

I've been having thoughts like... what about separate gifts for characters and accounts? 1 type of gift for a 24 month old character and another for a 24 month old account. The account birthday present is mainly for the PvP'ers who don't keep characters, because I thought they were left out unfairly in the first round.

For 2 year old characters I'm thinking of:
* a class specific gift
* another mini-pet! (mini-pets, round 2!)
* a Zimmer frame? Stair lift maybe? Ok ok... just kidding

For accounts I'm thinking of
* a title for old age ("granpa", "old coot" etc - something slightly funny that you wouldn't mind for being an old timer)
* an emote (something to do with being old maybe)
* a flashy aura
* a useful class-specific item that appears in each character's inventory (like the daggers + ritualist staff that come with one of the Factions packs)
* a useless item that looks funky - maybe a familiar that sits on your shoulder
* spectacular capes that reach the floor (on a toggle with the old style)

I think so far I like the idea of Round 2 minipets for character birthdays and spectacular capes for account birthdays

What do YOU want?

What about an item that changes your character's look to a that of a monster's, i.e. Shiro'ken Warrior. But it only works in towns.

i want parade suit which would only take 1 inventory slot, i like to wear something neat at special situations... it should be dye able and you could wear it over your old armor (douple click on and off). so you could also use it outside from towns... :P

ps. there should be dif ones too

Although I'd just sell it, maybe one token to change your characters appearance? I mean it's a reasonable possibility since you are "aging," and this would give them the perfect opportunity to allow this without allowing it full-time which they don't seem to be in favor of.

I'd be happy with anything though. Mini-pets are fine by me as the only b-day presents.

anyway, whatever Anet gives us as birthday presents is more than enough, and i think i have read somewhere they already have presents ideas

I would like my mini pet to grow a little each year. Maybe 30% larger per year until it reaches the size of a seige turtle....

Really, I would!

* a useless item that looks funky - maybe a familiar that sits on your shoulder
*parade suit

But in general the suprise is good

I vote for this! That would be so cool to have random enemies or storyline characters running around towns. Gwens, Ruriks, Mursaat, Trolls, Charr, Shiro's, Kuunavangs, Togo, Danika, just anything! LOL

the ability to silence people posting crap in the local channel - and not like me turning the channel off, but them actually not being able to post and instead get the message 'No one hears you'

they will end up giving us a armor piece that says "I played guild wars for 2 years and all i have to show for it is this crummy T-Shirt"

Id rather have my character age then get an item, be realistic and i want a new look.

PvE:
A medallion that when you're carrying it reduces the price of NPC merchant goods by 5-10%. Or, increases gold drop amounts by 10%. Just the basic merchant not rune/dye/etc. Would count as a helmet, so you can put it on or take it off.

(You don't know which you'd get, it'd be a surprise in that little present box thing. You could apply runes and such, just like a helm. Would be pre-customized.)

PvP:
A medallion that reduces the cost of buying skills by 5%, or increases your faction gain by 5%.

(All types of Faction, same as above, mystery, add runes, works like helm, yadda yadda.)

if this happened their would be so much chaos in pre
you would be able to sell and expert salveage kit for 50k+
and everyone would get so much money for golds and max dmg weps
and everyone would not want to stay in pre anymore
and everyone would have charr bags a nd it would just ruin it

but... there whould be a thing like a time traveler where you can go back without any items in your inventory and the worst armor that you start with (except it would still have the appearence as before just to show that your from the future) and be lvl 1 (basically so that its like you just started a character) so that you could get the legendary defender of ascalon title and get the charr bags and stuff and when you travel back to post searing you have all of your items you had before plus the items you got in pre
