To open or not to open... - Guild Wars Forums

Sovetskeey · Dec 12, 2007, 04:03 AM // 04:03

I just got my third second-year present (I don't remember getting the second one but oh well) and I remember when I opened my first second-year present I got a Wind Rider. What a crap minipet and what a waste of a present... No idea what the second one was.

So now I'm kinda torn... My luck hasn't been so great in the past so do I risk losing out on a bunch of guaranteed gold for a gold minipet or do I just sell it and get the guaranteed gold? That's the other thing... What's an unopened second-year present worth? The only listing on the auctions is for 125k and that seems a little too good to be true.

Also, are your chances affected by your character's experience, playing time or anything like that?

The opinions I got in-game weren't all that useful. One opinion was "everybody just throws them away I'll give you 100g for it". That gave me a good laugh

Zeek Aran · Dec 12, 2007, 04:14 AM // 04:14

Just open it. Whatever it is, it's free gold.

Negligate · Dec 12, 2007, 04:15 AM // 04:15

open it

presents are devised to surprise you not for u to sell for what 30k?

ill pay 30k anyday for a surprise

Sovetskeey · Dec 12, 2007, 04:26 AM // 04:26

I should also add I'm not stinking rich. I generally hover between 30-40k in my storage.

Johnny_Chang · Dec 12, 2007, 04:30 AM // 04:30

Just open it so we can laugh at you if it's a common. xD

Whirlwind · Dec 12, 2007, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Yes open it, isn't the suspense killing you, honestly? Seriously though.

Yichi · Dec 12, 2007, 05:55 AM // 05:55

who honestly cares....

Sovetskeey · Dec 12, 2007, 06:04 AM // 06:04

I hate you guys so much... I really do.

All I got was a piece of shit Juggernaut. Worth exactly as much as that POS Wind Rider.

Guess I'll be back in 5 months when I get my third year present because I was hoping to buy some new armor or something with the proceeds.

Oh and by the way... Thanks for answering my other questions. I hate MMORPG kiddies so much.

A11Eur0 · Dec 12, 2007, 06:08 AM // 06:08

Here's a thought: don't hinge your financial success on minipets.

Whirlwind · Dec 12, 2007, 06:10 AM // 06:10

Well since you're being rude about it.

Don't plan on spending money you don't have

You could of got like what, 30k for it max? Compared to the chance at any mini? Sorry but its a gamble and it was your choice.

Brianna · Dec 12, 2007, 06:13 AM // 06:13

Rofl thread of the day, thanks everyone for the laughs. Especially OP.

Peer pressure at it's finest.

Sujoy · Dec 12, 2007, 06:14 AM // 06:14

You don't care about the minipet, you only care about money! All pet's are great, so when you say "piece of crap", you are making a fool of yourself... oh what a fool people can be!
