A pet is for life, not just for Christmas.

Got myself a mini Naga and a mini Kuunavang... Kuuna is ded. but not the Naga (yet).

Why am I not selling the Naga? I worked my butt off for it, and a week later the prices on it fell due to another contest. Price still hasn't gone up and IMO won't go much more up - at least for a while. Might as well keep it and enjoy it, no?

Let me know how much you want for that Assasin. Thats one missing from my HoM.

Visu is quite rare too

I say sell all your minis, especially if you have doubles... Never did like minis, had a naga once but sold that. Remember someone saying - "Minis are like assholes; everyone has one".

Phoenix Tears · Jul 10, 2008, 12:25 PM // 12:25

give them to me, if you don't need them XD

My Mini Collector's Heart would bounce in circles, would I have the opportunity to dedicate these minis to my HoM ...

But the selfish side in you surely forbids you to make someone, that will be ever too poor to get these ones happy like a small child on birthday... and when its only the cheapest (naga) *g*

As give aways you could make so 4 people very happy XD

however, just /meh

, wish I had that luck and the chance to get my hands on these, would increase very much my chance to complete my Minipet Collection of yet 38 from the 68 existing Minis, -1, so 67, because of the Frog beign only for Gaile -.-

So more than the half i've yet XD

More importantly, pics or it didn't happen.

I dont really care if you believe me or not, I was just simply wondering how many people actually dedicate what they pay so much for and how many just hold them for resale.

Just to kill you curiosity i got my mini's like this

Got the First everlasting yuletide out of the FoW chest.
Sold it within 30 minutes for 1000ecto and an undedicated rollerbeetle

Dedicated the rollerbeetle sold it for
2 yetis, 2 nagas, 1 oni, 1 shiroken + some ectos can't remember how many

Dont' remeber how much I picked up the zhed for but my intention was to dedicate them all (except for the doubles).

Jetdoc · Jul 10, 2008, 12:55 PM // 12:55

I think I have three minipets that I've kept (undedicated...I guess they're untainted that way), but all the others I've dedicated and then sold. I simply don't want to waste the storage space on a mini that I am never going to use...it really doesn't give me any sort of warm, fuzzy feeling to have something in storage that doesn't get active use.

O Nuxtofulakas · Jul 10, 2008, 12:56 PM // 12:56

I believe the way those "limited edition minipets" where introduced ingame was quite lame...
...special magazines, in limited countries, circulating in different dates, giving unfair advantages to some gw players...
Ingame content should be available ingame ONLY or through official gw products/ gw store ONLY - so that everyone has equal chances to get one (mini kuuana, ghostly hero and polar bear are good examples)

I also agree with those saying that there is no need to dedicate pets now since we don't know yet what will be the benefit (if any) in gw2 ...

my ghostly can w8 till that date

They do it to advertise their game and get some people to play.
and mini pets do not give a player unfair advantages cause mini pets dont do anything anyways. Maybe if they did that would be different

Anyways I have a mini destroyer that i plan to sell sometime... since I see those increasing in value.

Oukanna · Jul 10, 2008, 01:54 PM // 13:54

For some reason i love minis ^__^ I want to collect as many as i can. Unfortunatly i live outside of USA so i miss out on freebies like mini mania and the destroyer give away. Though i managed to import the magazine so i got one in the end ^__^

The competition for minis we had was bs imo, hardly gave away any and i got nothing

At the moment i have 38 minis all dedicated. I dont sell ones i only have one of.

Rarest pets i got are,
Mallyx (got it frm a koffer)
kunni (well i had 2, my guild bought me one, and i recieved factions special edition lol )
Bone dragon,
celestial pig
normal pig ( i still had one left over xDD not sure how many there are since the celestial swap)

...Yeah not too impressive on the rare front

I need to save up so i can buy the rare ones.

I hope i can get a panda and vizu etc unded but i dont know if there are any out there unded.

isildorbiafra · Jul 10, 2008, 02:05 PM // 14:05

I dedicated most of my rare pets. Here's the reason why:
1. Almost maxed KoaBD
2. HoM carry's over to GW2 and its the only thing that can be taken with you!

There is no point in storing gold unless your Donald's Uncle! Buying rare weps? Dido! Gold is useless....gold trading has pritty much been nerfed...so unless you need gold to invest on getting some titles maxed it wont mean a thing once gw2 comes out. And you wont even be able to swim in it!

Visit GW1 one month afther GW2 release you'll see:

"wts 1000000k...100k for 10k pm me!"

Yeah, I kind of agree with you there. But can't be changed now. Those of us not as fortunate in getting in on promos and such will just have to work harder to get them.
And I dedicate the pets I get anyway, though I don't have the uber rare ones as of yet. I received/bought the pet, why not use it - how I look at it anyway.

Yes, and it's a good marketing ploy.

If you look at it gameplay wise, no they don't give an advantage, but if you look at it monetary wise, then yes they do.

NoXiFy · Jul 10, 2008, 02:18 PM // 14:18

yea, i deditcated 12 of my 19 Kanaxais.

that was what i meant, monetary wise....
u get a magazine u sell the pet and voila...some stacks of ectos and armbraces appear in your inventory...gg anet

Pleikki · Jul 10, 2008, 02:31 PM // 14:31

mm yeah minis are pretty useless, only mini id save & ded would be island guardian, only i like

Chico · Jul 10, 2008, 02:47 PM // 14:47

If I could dedicate them, delete them and then create any amount I wanted of non tradeable versions of all my dedicated minis I would dedicate everything I have without thinking it twice. That said, I have not dedicated anything and probably won't until we know what you get in GW2 for doing that.
