Default Use Gold ZCoins to Obtain Minipets

With first year white mini's now going for 10k, it would be nice to have a way to obtain 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th year minis through gameplay. How about Gold ZCoins?

Maybe:
1 Gold Coin = 1 White First Year Pet
2 Gold Coins = 1 White Second Year Pet, or 1 Purple First Year
3 Gold Coins = 1 White Third Year Pet, 1 Purple Second Year, or 1 Gold First Year Pet

etc....

No, they are intended to be gifts for characters that have survived deletion over the years.

I guess you missed the part about them being BIRTHDAY gifts?

As for the "etc" you threw in there, I'm assuming you're probably wanting to use zcoins to acquire the chest drops and contest minis as well?

/oh-hell-no!

easily solved, make the minis available for purchase with zcoins only on the character's birthday.

definitely /notsigned. The birthday minipet system is perfect as it is and doesn't need tweaking.

/notsigned. Birthday presents are for birthdays. The prices will settle after a while anyway.

I gold coin for first year?
Ha-ha! No.
More like 50 gold coins for a first year.

But being so many, people would just get the Zkeys, sell them and buy the miniature, so it would still be a pointless addition.

Too much is easily farmable in GW as it is, it's nice to have at least something that's in short supply.

1 gold Zcoin is a bit much for a jungle troll, or equivalent no?
its not like minis are hard to come by anyway?
just wait out a year, by or get given some older minis and get some in game ones, and you're nearly there.

These.

We have ways of creating gold or green minipets without character birthdays. If we need to generate white or purple miniatures somehow, we can come up with some way of doing thing, but it ought to have an attached cost much greater than what you're initially suggesting, and the reward should not be something found from the birthday presents.

1 gold coin gets you one zkey, the equivalent of 5k

You are proposing people can get any 5th year white mini for 25k? no thanks

Wow, 10k for a 1st year white common? And I have been giving mine away in Ascalon for 1k each? Maybe I better wake up and smell the coffee.

(Making plans to move to the north for the gold rush. lol)

(Hmm, wondering what my undedicated Pig is going for these days.)

Why not just go straight to what you want?
1 gold coin = +1 point in your hom.
Because that's what it's really about.

If you want Minis, read this link: http://www.massively.com/2010/10/11/...hall-of-monum/

At the very end of the article, Rubi talks about a Minipet Swapping event taking place today at 3PM EST in Lion's Arch Japanese District 1. If you want to fill your HoM it takes work.

No one gave a damn about minipets before.

Now that the HoM rewards are released it... OMG I really want a forest minotaur mini, because you know, I like it. Sure...

Nothing to contribute but another big fat NO vote.

I hardly have any minis added and I will pay the price now since I never bothered before. I shouldn't be rewarded for being lazy and getting a library of anything I want for a few coins when people sunk a ton of time and energy into acquiring them the hard way.
