The way I see the suggestion it's not so much about auto-picking gold as it is about minis having other utility than just e-peen flexing in outposts. Thus /signed because it would be pretty funny to watch minis get a run for their money

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ! so cute.

if I may, we have to train them to pick up the gold

hehehe, and after training, if you put them on a gold picking up "mission" they will have a backpack mounted onto them. Does not "physically" gives you extra storage, just something visually entertaining.

There are interface options already available such as that that make this game very easy to perform certain functions. People just don't know about them. Rather then requesting minipets get a function, I suggest people just learn how to use the existing interface to its full efficiency.

good point, and i agree, but if the devs get some time on their hands from all the money sink titles, this cant hurt. its a computer game, its permeated with laziness no matter how u spin it.

besides, Fredrick the titan needs a day job

Also, higher-end minis should pick up the gold faster (A mini-Necrid Horsmen picks up 1 pile every 5 seconds, while a mini panda catches them before they hit the ground ^.^). If highend minis wern't expensive enough...

Lol someone gets it. Thank you.

Enough with the "I want it to pick up items cause I died and can't reach em."

I can see a mini pet lugging around a few loose coins more than I can see em lugging around a few 75 lb shields and other items. I just wanna give them some purpose other than to look pretty. Can anyone think of a more useful/useless purpose for minis to serve?

warcrap · May 12, 2008, 08:23 PM // 20:23

minipets are extremely useless and not worth the money.
they should get this feature and a few other things.

Arduin · May 12, 2008, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Yes! (And make rare mini's double the amount after pickup

)

/signed, it wouldn't be a real time saver it's just SOMETHING for them to do.

Maria The Princess · May 13, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

played a game that had your mini pet pick up ALL your loot, that was convenient. at least we will not see the random person leeroying or staying behind for drops.. its especially bad if its a monk haha

how it worked is that as soon as your inventory would be full, you would get a messege "inventory full" and the pet would pick up only gold from that point, untill you make space in inv.

but even if it is only gold, it would still be cool.

Ah I should mention that a mod added the poll but I hope everyone understands that "Gold Drops" just means loose change and should not be confused with items. Mini's picking up items would be unbalanced and is not my goal in my thread. Mini's picking up loose change, nothing more nothing less.

and have an option as to whether they pick up whites/blues etc

Isn't that what tanks are for? they are already standing there.

Not that ANet would ever make something useless into a practical feature.

But still,

Do this in GW2. It's a waste of time putting the effort to making this happen in GW1.

NOTE:

Please can everyone quit posting "/signed +1", "/signed sounds good", and the like. Attempts to get around the 12-character minimum rule will be deleted. A poll has been added so those of you only wanting to "/sign" or "/notsign" this idea can do so without posting. If you wish to discuss the idea, please feel free to do so in a civilised manner.

Someone's already suggested that you "train" your minis to pick up gold. After some reflection this actually sounds like a good idea. Perhaps make a cross campaign trip to gain the ability or knowledge to teach your minis to pick up loose change. GW players get a practical use for minis and Anet's got another reason to encourage players to get each game and the expansion.

mystical nessAL · May 15, 2008, 05:30 PM // 17:30

Just because a game has it, doesnt mean guildwars cant have it.you can kill monsters in SRO, that means u cant kill monsters in guildwars?

Make minipets usefull. -.-

Brought up before, won't happen. Anet want minipets to have a cosmetic value only.
