For those who missed out on them from last year, these baby minis are making a return to the gemstore in one package. All 5 minis can be brought for 1600 gems.

  • Mini Black Bear Cub
  • Mini Hippo Calf
  • Mini White Kitten
  • Mini Lion Cub
  • Mini Moa Chick

This comes up to 320 gems per mini, which is cheaper than the 400 gems per mini they were last year when they were first introduced.

Some pics if you are interested. Some of them are quite good!

Great another slap in the face for people who buy all the miniatures as they come out. I am never ever going to spend a single cent on gems again. I am fed up with anets business ethics.
I can only say: Games with monthly subcription ftw!

Except having miniatures isn’t required for your character to perform it’s day to day duties.

So no.

What else is there to do in GW2 than collecting cosmetic stuff? Look at the updates since release. Almost everything was temporary content since release or useless content where you have no reason to go back after you did it once (like the aetherblade JP in gendarran fields)
And anets puts 80-90% of the stuff worth having into the gem shop where you feel ripped off times after times again because of actions like this.

So you’re mad that the price decreased after a year? You must hate sales.

I’m sorry but, if you buy something as soon as it comes out, thats on you. Almost every item ever put up on sale in real life and in video games is eventually placed on sale, again, at a discount at some point. The benefit of you buying them when they first come out is you get to enjoy them longer than the people waiting around for them to be put on sale.

Really you compare real life sales to prestige/cosmetic items in a game?
Also there are reasons why you buy it when it comes out. With Anet you never know if you get another chance at buying it, they have very wierd ways of deciding what gets sold again and what not.
Whatever I am done spending money on this game once and for all.

Or to attract attention from people who weren’t inclined to buy it the first time around. You know, to drum up sales. The exact same reason anything without a physical component (for example, digital downloads) have sales.

Last I checked, NCSoft is a real life businesses that needs to show sales to their stockholders. So comparing things to real life is valid.

Side note – Anet will probably release more minis in the future. I’m not a fortune teller or anything, but my gut feeling is that chances are high that I’m right.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

Eh, this isn’t surprising at all. It’s something NCSoft would be okay with, that’s what you get for being here a year ago and spending the extra gems.

So they now have a bundle deal for the 5 animals that were available a year ago for 20% off.

So is the problem the discount or the fact you will end up with duplicates that are still account bound so you can’t sell the spares? Pretty sure they are still forge fodder.
