I was thinking I’d buy some gems for the Rox and Braham weapons, but I figure I might as well sell some minis and exchange some gold for gems instead. If I’m never gonna be able to complete the collection, anyway.

I’m sorry to hear you feel the same way. I will hold on to my minis for now though. I see Mr. Sparkles topics on the front of both this sub, general discussion and BLTC sub. It should lead to some feedback at the least.

^ That likely means that ANet has not yet come to a final decision as to whether or not the Mr. Sparkles mini will have additional means for acquisition down the line. There’s still hope. Keep this thread alive and hope that Colin or Anthony spots it and gives you an answer.

I recently started collecting mini’s and I have a completionist attitude, I would love to have Mr. Sparkles, but I can’t so easily go to Gamescon. I would like it if they put him in the gemstore for 500-800 gems or whatever as well for a limited time.

So you don’t get the mini….accept it and move on. Maybe they will put it on the Gem Store in a few years, but I doubt it. Anet has put out exclusive mini’s since the start of GW1 and the several extremely rare ones have never been available in any other way (that I’m aware of). Now if you want to complain that minis are all account bound, that’s another discussion.

Nobody is intentionally provoking your ADD tendencies, they just want to reward those that went to a convention event with something special.

And still it’s a shame for a lot of the collectors out there.

Well. I really hope you’re right, but I fear it just means that they have not been informed that Mr. Sparkles will be released ingame.

Ouch, don’t tell that to these guys, they take small groups of pixels in video games as SERIOUS BUSINESS.

This is kinda a kick in the kitten, for us collectors if there’s no way in-game to get Mr. Sparkles. They need to either put a way ingame to get it, or remove it from the collectibles tab, cause its going to be a constant reminder that you get screwed if you don’t have the time/money to go to the conventions/parties.

OMG, I cant even believe this conversation is taking place. Give me a break, seriously. It’s a freaking mini pet. And it’s a reward for people who attend and event. If anything, they should do MORE of this type of thing simply because it’s fun and gives people who attended something to flash around in game for a month or so until the novelty wears off. For some reason i feel confident when i say that the same people who are complaining about this would be defending it were they able to attend gamescon. But anyway, WOW, just WOW… reading these forums would make even Veruca Salt face palm with embarrassment.

I’m glad that you don’t care. What are you doing here then? They can do all the giveaways they want but I see no reason for them to break what we have been completing for the last year. Really. We have spent a year gathering all the minipets in the game. Why take that away from us?

If you’re a true collector, you’ll buy a code for one on ebay But honestly, think about any other gift they could give. Only other in-game reward I could see them giving out is maybe a weapon or armor skin, but then not everyone could use it. Even if it were a toy or a buff people would complain.

I wouldn’t because it would feel like cheating. It would not be something I have worked towards obtaining as other minipets in the game – Defeating Liadri, doing dailies to get the laurel pets, running Molten dungeon over and over to loot the Molten mini etc. I don’t want to buy my minipets off eBay. I’m tempted, but just no. +I don’t have that kind of money, but that’s of course not your problem.

To be honest I think it’s great they reward people with ingame rewards for attending their events. But why something exclusive? Give them a 20-slot bag, an exotic weapon, a gem giftcard.

Can we not bring OCD into this? Trust me, OCD isn’t some cute quirky thing that just makes you collect mini pets and whine when you can’t get them. You’re looking at a collector’s mentality – not OCD – and that’s something you won’t get unless you collect something of your own.

That said – this is what every maker of anything collectable often does. They make some special, hard to get, unattainable for 90% of the population gimmick and if you want it – you have to either be at the right place at the right time or dig deep in your wallet. I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. Does it suck? Sure does but that’s the collecting world for you.
