*shrug* A few had some idea of what was going on, even if the details weren't clear. Plenty questioned whether there really was an account reset as claimed rather than taking the dev conspiracy route. Also, didnt help that mods were deleting posts that said 3rd year presents were indeed popping up early.

So yes, it's easy for people to say they had it worked out, especially since they sort of did. Heck, you worked your way up to it yourself as well at some point.

Exactly, yet Regina still posted that incorrect info on her talk page. I wouldn't care in the slightest if she posted this 3 days ago instead of the spin that was actually posted. Hell, a simple "I don't know, let me find out" would have been much better.

The sad part is, that maybe that was the information she got, when she tried to find out.

I don't care if the mini pets birthday present came out one day earlier. I just want a uber cool one this time instead of the "necrid horseman" of the third year birthday present :P~

Yeah, I know, and I'm not blaming her for that very reason. Especially because this is just a repeat of the many times it happened with Gaile. Gaile was never the problem, the lines of communication between her and other devs were, and we're seeing a sign of what's to come - more of the same.

You do understand that there was only one pet given away and being sold?(which was the Miniature Cave Spider to WW). And Andrew as already posted on that matter...

I saw the new minis early sat. morning like..4-6am( I believe so).. eastern time. Gaile even showed up in Kamadan 0.0 she took out her frog, hehe. Said she came to see the new Minis. No 3rd year for me for a long time..in the mean time need to keep farming for my own Buny

It is really good to see that the new Community Manager can set things straight in a few lines in just one posting. Much better than overly sentimental frogtalk lacking clear information, often being ambiguous or misleading.

Thanks for clearing it up Regina, even if it is a day or two late.

Better late then never I guess.

Can someone explain the screenshots in the Closed thread of the mini Margonite and the mini Devonna? Are these real? If so, who has them and how?

dunky_g · Apr 29, 2008, 03:07 PM // 15:07

im guessing faked.

maby not..

.. i dont care but would be intresting to know

MarlinBackna · Apr 29, 2008, 08:41 PM // 20:41

The only people that were willing to buy for that much were: A) People filthy rich that they have literally nothing else to spend it on or B) A person who buys gold through RMT or a duper. They are just dumbasses, really, because the mini's worth is only going to go down. The people that care about this are the same jealous people that eye the filthy rich and their toys and bitch about how much they are poor. BTW, I am not rich by any means, but I know that complaining about my economic status won't make me richer or happier.

garethporlest18 · Apr 29, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Well I don't care if anyone got them early. Hell they could have given them out back in March, because that means I'd have mine now. I don't mind. I have a hard time spending 1.5k on a lockpick, so you won't find me buying a mini even if it's one I want. Therefore I couldn't care less! As long as I get my pet I'll be happy.

Now you can continue this useless bickering.

Well the explanation is quite clear. It is however unfortunate that it was needed. Why would anybody care?

Let's be honest, in a game world (like any other) where people are trying to scam you (remember the armbraces) I think any player would like to know that when they fork over the huge amounts of cash for the early mini's that it's legit.

It's important that Anet clarifies ahead of time what the deal is so people don't have to worry about scams quite as much. A half truth is more dangerous than a lie at times.

Again the explanation is good and clear but it would've been wise to indicate that some people might get it early for said reasons. Not a great deal of effort to avoid some scam fears.

Thank you to anyone who actually managed to stay on topic. Closed for flaming, bickering, insults, conspiracies, etc.
