I love all the noises the mini-pets made.

It gave them PERSONALITY

Bring back mini-pet noises inside of explorable/mission areas and give us a TENGU mini-pet >.<

How would you feel if they took off the animal sounds from /rank? It would take away SEVERELY from the effect and grandeur of the emote.

Me!!!!! I loved the noises they made. Especially the little, cute, bossy Charr Shaman.

They NEED to turn the sound back on... so depressing now...

Give back their voices!

It's the equivelent of people in condos having their dogs vocal cords removed so they don't disturb the neighbors. Ghastly!

Really...that's a ridiculous rationale. The Troll grunts were only one thing; annoying.

I've never seen someone say "WTS TROLL MINIPET MAKES COOL GRUNTING NOISES 55k!" for good reason.

Obviously you don't have any minipets Zinger and don't care for them.

But the people who have minipets and spesifically the ones that make noises, usually have them becuase they love the creature and the noise it makes.

IMO, muting [or de-barking] the minipets was a bad and premature move by ANet to calm down the very FEW whiners that were complaining about them.

IMO, i'd rather them remove the ability to show minipets in outposts all together have have their noises back, rather than be able to show them and them be muted.

I wasn't aware that your word was now law and nobody's entitled to opinions anymore.

Well what we have here is one group of people (people who wanted mini pets silenced) imposing their wants on another group of people (people with mini pets). It was easy enough to just set your sound options to turn off background effects when in outposts. They had OPTIONS. But now, people with mini pets have NO OPTIONS to give their pets their voices back.

I feel bad for the mini pet owners and I'm a believer in options.

Yes, I sold my Mini Devourer into slave labor, I ate my Mini Fungal Wallow, and I sold my Mini Jade Armor for lots of moola. Sue me. I'd prefer to use an inventory slot for something more useful.

What's your point? That I don't have a heart? I would advise that you take a look around these forums...

It's called an "assertion." It's good diplomacy, unlike your pointless insult.

So you are claiming that the Minipet is not the visual representation of a Troll in zeroes and ones with a predetermined artificial intelligence, and that assertion is only my opinion?

Well, then, I recommend you submit your "opinion" to a film writer as a horror film plot. "VIRTUAL TROLLS ATTACK: Big Hearts, Bigger Beatdowns!"

Minipet sounds were annoying. End of story. Obviously, the majority agrees.

Its not pointless. It made me feel better.

Your logic cannot be applied to my OPINION, because its my OPINION.

I like the noise. I find it really cute and i want it back.

I don't care how illogical that seems to you.

Game update : Introduced option to toggle minipet sounds on/off.

There's your solution, thread over.
