Mad King's Guard Minipet

Whats funny is if there WASN'T a mini pet for this contest, people would be bitching about that like last year...

Bahah. Im winning that mini.

They won't give it away any other way, imo.

no one cares...........................

Working on my art. If it only comes out through the contest and I win, just might be tempted to get my money and not have to farm anymore. I really want a mini polar, but hey, look at the cost/effort to get one.

Just don't get the idea behind mini as a prize. Sure, a few people MAY decide to keep it, but let's be realistic and admit right now that the idea of 4000+ duped armbraces will be too hard to ignore.

I'm sure they'll go the polar bear like route and have it be a super rare drop from a new hallweeen addition.

At least getting it via an art contest means you've created something that stands out from thousands of other related entries. It's not based on dumb luck (well, mostly not :P ) where the only thing you do is repetitively grind for it, you've actually earned it through skill and ability.

I approve of this message

Mini Pets...

... Meeeeeeeeeeeeeh

And those of us with no artistic skill whatsoever are automatically disqualified from getting one. Don't really see the fairness in that but hey, this is Anet we're talking about.

here's hoping for mad king's dungeon

Not like it would be the first time something like this has happened. I don't remember there being a lot of discussion about this or this though. Then again a lot has changed and while these were still very expensive in 2007 they weren't commanding 5 digit ecto prices.

Umm did you forget the issue from last year when a cheater was among the winners? and considering how they let that slip by and if not for us guru peeps they wouldnt have even know it. so saying that earning it that way is semi fail too.

I just don't hope they go the mini polar bear route with a tiny droprate *puke*. Hypothetically thinking.

Believe it or not but there are people that would keep it... people like me. Hell no I'd sell something I won in that contest.

Now I just need to do my very best to achieve it... if I do not win I do not regret... there are other minies I'll never get, but I live it.
I don't see any problem with minies as rewards. Just unfortunate that some actually sell them cause imo thats stupid.

Yes, because if you have skills and abilities above the norm you have no right to get any reward for it. As I was trying to say, the people who get this as a prize actually deserve it becuase they've earned it through their own skill. Not just dumb luck or having a boat load of money to spend on buying one.

Umm did you forget the other 19 people that didn't cheat and rightfully deserved their prize?

It was an honest mistake. I don't think that Arenanet should have to trawl through all of Deviant art, the fan forums, and all of the billions of pictures on the internet for that matter to figure out if someone cheated or not. Yes, it was caught only because of us guru peeps (actually it was a GWonline peep), but that was only becuase some of us had seen that peice beforehand as well. Otherwise, we would have looked at it and considered it a relatively okay peice of art among 19 other entries. And in the end it got sorted out as well.

Supposedly there's going to be new Halloween content, so there's a chance part of that may lead to the new mini.

Which one of these do you think fits you better? "yous trollin!" or "Yous stupid!"

wow. skill updates? use the ones you have now. anet likes power traders so they give us minis
