mini pet purpose
First off, I'd like to say that I used the search function and didn't find anything about this. And this is not another thread about what minis should be added. Instead, it is to suggest something that should have been added since the beginning since lots of people seem to have mini pets.
My fiance and I were discussing the subject and we both like minis even though all they do is follow you around. But many people hate them because that's all they do, they serve no purpose and are "a waste". My suggestion is that perhaps, if not in Guild Wars 1 but in Guild Wars 2 if they have minis, is to let them have a purpose.
For example, if you're in combat and money drops, your mini can pick it up. Or perhaps a certain type of mini can do a certain type of thing. Like one picks up weapons, one picks up gold, one regular items, etc. And of course you can only have one mini out at a time so you'd have to choose which one you wanted to bring out (unless you filled your inventory).
Of course this can be altered, but the main point is to let the minis have some kind of purpose other than following you around so that the people who don't like them and think they're pointless will even have a use for the cool little critters.
