/15loyalcustomers

Sure, we get them because we bought gems, but like Gavroche says, “Something for you. Something for me.”

Thank you Anet !!

I spent $1000, I wonder if I get a mount ;|

Thank you! This was totally unexpected and AWESOME! <3 you guys!

Sweet I just logged in after the OP and I got my 3 holographic minis. That was a nice surprise. Thanks!

Nice! Very much looking forward to download the patch tonight and seeing what I got on my (and my husband’s) account.

Freebies are always welcome and appreciated =)

No Arenanet, THANK YOU!

I meet that criteria, why didn’t I get freebies?

Try logging or clearing mail.

Really nice gesture, thank you and stay classy Anet.

I’ve already bought gems for €30-50, and I haven’t received anything?

Still nothing, maybe they haven’t sent to everyone yet.

Thanks, and its not even been a year yet!

Very cool for people who collect minis. Good job Anet!

I just recieved this ingame mail:

The Guild Wars 2 Team
Thank You!

Because you purchased gems through our Gem Store or via a Guild Wars 2 Gem Card between the launch of Guild Wars 2 and June 9, 2013, please enjoy the attached gift from ArenaNet. These minis are available in the Gem Store for a limited time to celebrate Dragon Bash but we wanted you to have a set for free. We really appreciate your continued support!

Attached was a Dragon Bash Mini Pack. In the pack was:
Mini Holographic Branded Minotaur
Mini Holographic Axe-Wielding Destroyer
Mini Holographic Corrupted Wolf

I just want to say how much I appreciate you folks at ArenaNet, I feel positively spoiled by this company. You’ve continued to impress me day after day, month after month, with your imagination, constant attention to the game and the players, devotion to fun and the guts to launch this amazing MMO that goes against the standard.

Thank you

Just wanted to thank you guys for the 3 free miniatures.
Keep up the good work!

yeah that means…“continue to spend money on our game we will reward you! We don’t like ppl who don’t and who can’t”

Here we go the screen caps are not that great but here are pics.

Since I can’t get online to check, do these have spots on the mini tab in the bank?

A warm ’thank you’ from me too. I love the decorations in Lions Arch and the dragon projections are amazing!

Really impressive graphics and I’m looking forward to seeing the fireworks.

Thank you anet

Doesn’t make up for the borked update and continued inability to fix the game.

Can’t wait to log on to get mine!

thank you a.net but gem buyers should also have a complimentary dragon weapon ticket too.

YES! these were great to discover in the mail thank you very much

Are these minis account-wide? Or will only the character I pick them up on be able to use them?

Also, it’s really nice when companies do things like this. Anet really knows how to get my loyalty!

i will be really glad as their real money paying costumer if i get a complimentary dragon weapon ticket too (to follow i hope)

C’mon man, don’t push it. The players are consistently ignored or feel mistreated, and they send us something nice to make up for it. And all you can do is ask for more free stuff?

I mean, I’m no fan of RNG chests, or the way Anet has been running the show, but this was a nice gesture that deserves our respect, even if I don’t care about minis.

Didn’t get anythign and i;ve bought plenty of gems before

I haven’t gotten any ingame mail yet But I hope I’ll get one, too. I bought gems in the past and would love to have some new pets as well <3

Thank you Anet!

Way to be an epic downer. Stop playing the game if that’s how you feel, yah?

at least send us something useful. and of value.

we cannot even sell the minipets. or use it. or make our character pimped. the cash that i/we spent during the early months of the game, where 100 gems is just less than 30 silver or even less than that, is not yet evened out. it hurts me so much looking back to months before that even the a.net economist defended the measly and almost laughable exchange rate. and they give us 3 minipets that we cannot even profit from.
at least compensate our patronizing well by giving us an almost rare weapon skin. or making the minipets sellable. or be only be gotten by those who paid them cash so its value will be high and high amount of gold can be gotten from them.

alcopaul.2156:

Or they could have just given us nothing at all and probably no one would have noticed or said anything. I don’t recall seeing threads before this happened where people were saying, “I bought gems now where is my free stuff!!”

Man, some people will find reasons to complain about anything.

I really do completely understand your position and mostly I’m in the same boat. It’s 3 mini pets I’ll never use. But this will go a long way if it’s only the start to repairing the ties between the community and developers. Think about it, next time we may get that rare skin ticket instead of 3 mini’s, but I doubt they will send us anything if we all complain about the useless mini’s.

You have some strong points, but this is just a kind gesture and I don’t think we should take anything else from that, other than if they see we appreciate it, maybe we will get something even cooler next time

well they gave us something that is useless. so i guess they couldve have just given us nothing at all so you would think that their act is not good enough.

We just need to be patient. I’m sure they’re mailing it out to everyone who qualifies. They’re probably just being suppressed due to excessive messaging.

alcopaul.2156:

Useless to you maybe but there are a lot of mini collectors. You know those ones that buy gems for the mini packs and the limited time minis.

Once again, if they had given us nothing then you wouldn’t be here complaining.

Did you buy gems with real money or did you convert gold to gems?

Just a heads up don’t do the mystic forge recipe it’s an ugly http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Icebrood_Colossus not the fractals giant.

Aye nice freebie thank you.

I’m not all that fussed on mini’s tbh but anything free in game is a plus in my book.

On the other hand the 50silver a race gambling at Moa Racing is far too steep, especially when its able to be bugged by hammer wielders to alter the race outcome.. 50silver is silly season prices imo.. so free gift in one hand and more gem purchases on the other

1.) You go in Resort A for a vacation and spend $2000 dollars and they give you a complimentary shirt when you leave.

2.) You go in Resort B for a vacation and spend $2000 dollars and they give you a lottery ticket giving you the chance to win a car and a complimentary shirt when you leave.

You know which resort to return to next time right?

I spent 60$ and I didn’t get anything worthwhile.

Why should I, already spent hundreds of hours on it. I’ll just complain on every possible occasion until they fixed it. And that gift simply doesn’t make up for their poor update history. And it also doesn’t make up for spending thousands of gems on RNG boxes with a chance so low that it’s ridiculous. Hell, that’s the least they could do to compensate.

Cool idea. Nice surprise for some.

This isn’t a resort its a game.

Seriously, once again, if we had not been given these as a gift you would not be complaining. Were you complaining before the gift?

You are the minority in this thread as you can see most everyone else seems happy with the gift.

Now go start your own thread titled, “I bought gems Anet now give me some free kitten!”

If you are really this upset about it the next Dragon Coffer I get I’ll mail it to you as a bonus to your gift. I hope you win something fancy.
