MiniPets and Deposit all collectibles
Content Designer
Putting the minpart in an invisible bag will prevent it from being deposited. You can also put weapons and other items in the bag that you don’t intend to ever sell, so they won’t show up when you visit a vendor.

it seems pretty stupid to purchase a bag just for that…
this functionallity is flawed at its base. IMO…
I agree – minipets should not be deposited with “deposit all collectibles”. Suggesting using an invisible bag to get around this flaw isn’t really adequate resolution.
You are correct. It is more than adequate.

I think that they should have like a “pet tab” in this game like they do any other MMO so pets do not take up inventory space and you can summon any one of them that you want at any time without of course having to have them in your inventory.

Well, consider the pros and cons of the current system. The only pro of having minipets deposited along with other collectibles is that it allows you to quickly store the minipets that you collect along your adventures. How often do you get a new minipet by the way? Compare this to the cons:
1. it is unusual behavior that confuses new users who have grown to associate the term “collectibles” with crafting materials. There’s really no indication that minipets are also considered collectibles. Couple that with the fact that it makes no sense for the command to pack away a minipet that you’re currently using, its understandable that users would not expect this behavior
2. It is an inconvenience. If you, for any reason, fail to have your minipet in an invisible box, you have to make a trip to the bank to retrieve it. This could be overlooked if there were a reason for this inconvenience, but there really isn’t. You really do not get a minipet all that often, so the ability to quickly deposit it is unimportant. So this just imposes an unwarranted hassle on players. Guild Wars is a game that brilliantly eliminates almost every useless inconvenience from gameplay, so I don’t see why this should be any different.
The invisible bag is a very inelegant half-measure. I don’t know why you’d want to base mini-pets around a system of hassles and compromises. How many of these little guys do you think players are willing to carry around in their bags at one time, let alone buy?
It would really be nice if we had a separate pouch for our mini-pets instead of having to use an invisible bag. Major problem I see is that I have to constantly re-summon mine whenever I zone.
I think it’d be pretty awesome to have a couple minipet slots in your Hero Panel (or even 1 slot). That way you can just keep them there with no worry about depositing them to your bank or having to buy an invisible bag for your minipet.

It’s really annoying to constantly click your Minipet back into appearance when you hit a loading screen!
If we just had a Mini Pet equip slot in the hero panel, that would be awesome!
That way it will be deployed automatically anywhere and you won’t accidentally deposit it.
