Exactly. Wasabi seemed to have the only one not nerfed in the game and profited big on it then boom the buyer gets screwed. GG

Now Wasabi gets 175 ectos profit off a year 3 mini 3 days before its supposed to be released.

An official statement was made about -- Year 3 mini's will be released on monday-- another --All birthdays are reset to day 1 general public release --

I was a beta tester. Many friends were. Do we have our pets early ? NO

Its crystal clear and the public demands action against either if there was an unfair advantage made by a certain person, or towards the person or persons involved in making the official statements of release and the reset of creation dates.

Either way its crummy and if it looks like a bookah then it must be a bookah.

A good way to tell if this is merely a case of beta testers with slightly older characters would be to look back to last year. If they are really a few days older, they would have also received last year's minipets early.

Wasabi had the item when it got nerfed. He gained nothing from it.

I dont see how YOU of all people can throw stones since you were trying to buy the minipet cave spider.

If you're condemning the favouritism, then why were you trying to buy it? You were contributing to the problem and yet you're here complaining about it?

If a player who participated in that event still has a character they created from that period, they will receive a minipet, based upon the character's creation date. Apparently, however, even if a character was created at E3 for Everyone, appearance of the third birthday present hasn't happened at uniformly the same time. Meaning, some people who have a character from that promotional event have got their birthday minipet already, some people have not.

this is what was explained so far. taken from:

According to Regina on her wiki page, if someone still has a character from the event in 2005, they would receive a mini pet. Coincidentally, the only known people to have one of the third year mini pets currently are members of Andrew Patrick's guild. I highly doubt that only members of ZoS still have characters from that event. Not only that, but ANet stated on their website that the mini pets would be released on Monday.

right, but for some reason that person sure as hell tried to make a substantial gain, didn't he?

Drogo Boffin · Apr 26, 2008, 05:06 AM // 05:06

this is the biggest load of crap i have ever read. I have personally helped Wasabi Vanquish and and map areas. He has earned everything hes got just like everybody else. This isnt WOW they arent allowed to just spawn stuff.

Did you even read the thread? The evidence weighs heavily against you.

fenix · Apr 26, 2008, 05:08 AM // 05:08

I'll explain the whole 'account reset' thing. I distinctly remember Gaile posting it, so here's what I remember.

People asked how old her account was, or something to that effect. She said it was probably 5-6 years old, BUT, all accounts were set back to 0 as /age, when the game officially went live. This meant that everyone would be getting the 3rd year pets on the same date, regardless of if they had older accounts.

About the minipet, it's surprising that with all of the 'whitewasabi has an older account' posts, why have no other minipets been posted up anywhere? Just ZoS?

FireFox, you're bad. Clearly something is going on, so you just post rubbish posts. Making your guild look worse.

Cleavage has cleared this up a bit. Beta accounts aren't older, but ZoS are...

I had a feeling this has been going on, what with WhiteWasabi desperately trying to sell of the nerfed item, as well as getting given customised hats to sell, and then AP being in [rawr] for the mAT. This shouldn't happen.

That's great, but why does he and other members of ZoS deserve minipets that weren't supposed to be released until Monday?

Well Wasabi has been vanquishing a lot of areas the past few weeks. He clearly deserved it.

Just when I thought Anet and the game couldn't go any lower.

Eye-opener indeed. Thanks!

The earliest ANYONE, and I repeat ANYONE, can get the 3rd year minipet NORMALLY is 24 hours BEFORE the official 3rd year anniversary. That's the earliest you could make a character WITH THE PRE-ORDER. All beta character's ages were reset for the retail release WHEN THE HEAD-START For Pre-order people BEGAN.

No need for Gaile to confirm this. I've been with the game since the World Preview Event. It's been like this since the first year's mini.

So this whole "early 3rd year minis" has NOTHING to do with them being in the beta. Unfair privilege is UNFAIR.

A fault that happened only to people in a certain GUILD?

Please.

And because of this comment by Regggy Nobra.-

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User_..._favourites.3F

I can conclude that she fits the position as good as Gaile; she doesn't know what she' talking about. She's misinformed. She's lost touch with the game. You name it.

Let me repeat again here.-

ALL CHARACTER'S CREATION DATES WERE RESET FOR THE RETAIL RELEASE. Nobody can get ANY birthday minipets more than 24 hours in advance NORMALLY. E3 For Everyone occurs nearly A YEAR before the game released. If what Ms. Nobra says is true, someone would get the minis A YEAR EARLY. Not days, not weeks.

PLEASE. Fire yourself. At least Gaile never makes such idiotic mistake.

I'm bad? Honestly if you want to continue to make up theories about how we're somehow exploiting the game, be my guest. You can be grouped with the people who "swear we saw aliens last night".

What does Vanguishing have to do with anything? I have guildies who vanguish 'til they're blue in the face. Come on now, stop trying to make excuses.

I swear I saw an early minipet being sold on the high-end sections by a ZoS member who had no way of getting it other then by receival of it from a dev.

Sup Fenix. You can chill with me
