Guild Wars 2

In case people hadn’t seen it yet.

Thanks again Anet

Say what?!

Hopefully they are still available when I get home in a couple of hours….

1 purchase of set 2 minis free in the gem store today. I suspect it will still be there when u log in

Yeah, thanks Anet for the minis, the boosters and the revive orb.

Thanks for the heads up Randulf. Definitely looking forward to getting on tonight for mine.

Ty Anet for all the freebies of late. Much <3 !

Thanx for the quick 1.5 gold!

Thanks for the tip! I probably wouldn’t have noticed.

so if every gw2 player purchased them how much would the price of minis drop?

thank you for the news and thank anet

I’m not a huge fan of minis… but I gifted them to my husband because he loves them. very nice!

They must be really desperate for people to look at their precious gem-store if they are giving stuff away.

Yes ty ty ty

BTW have they updated color skins on the new armor yet? Can we change them >>>?

Just can’t enjoy anything can you?

It costs them nothing to give things away for free. If they do this, and then even a few hundred people decide they want to buy more after the fact, then this giveaway was totally worth it.

Is this for everyone? or did you have to buy gems in the recent past?

Afaik, everyone

TY ANET for the goodies.

Thank you for the Free Minis,

have sold them, because the 3 I got, I’ve already owned, but from the money I bought me then one I didn’t had yet

Thank you !!!!!

Thanks Anet (once again for yesterdays free boosters.)

I got a free toothpaste sample from Colgate at my dentist. Guess Colgate must be desperate.

Or your dentist is. -LOL

Thanks for nothing. My mini collection dropped a bit in value again because of this.

If you just have them to collect, why do you care what they’re worth?

Wow, didn’t know about this. Have to remember to grab it tonight when I get home.

I dont enjoy collecting worthless items. They loose quite a bit of their bragging value if you can buy them for a pocket change.

Because many people base their self worth upon the value of their possessions.

… Weren’t you just complaining the other day in the BLTC forum about how people don’t need to have “too much gold”? :P

Thanks for the cute minis

Different strokes I suppose. They go down in price, people forge them, supply goes down, should be okay… I mean it’s only 3 free minis… and they’re blue and green (a rare occasionally and an exotic even less common if ever) per account that happens a to grab one. Not nearly as bad as the mini caithe and scarlet

Indeed people dont need thousands of gold, especially if they manipulate the market with it.
But I dont see how owning 1 of each miniature has anything to do with being a market manipulator (aka trader, they are one and the same for me)

Thousands of people claimed these 3 minis and the offer will likely stay for some days (?).
It adds up on the already very small miniature collector community.
Forging them actually devalues the rare and exotic minis even further if you think about it. There are already more than enough of them on the market or they wouldnt be worth this little.
My collection lost over 1000g value since peak time, more if you include inflation.

Got myself a mini Zojja.

Thanks ArenaNet!

Thank you!
Very cute, don’t collect mini’s so much as just getting a signature mini on each of my characters
I did get a twisted windrider thingy that looks really cool

Well, if minis were to continue to remain rare, it WOULD take thousands of gold to purchase all the miniatures. (You just said yourself above that your mini collection dropped by almost 1000 gold, implying that you spent thousands of gold building it.) That means that only a very, very select few (the ultra-wealthy) would have a complete collection.

Wouldn’t it be better to have cheaper minis so that it’s easier to complete the collection? That way, there wouldn’t be more incentive for people to hoard that much gold in the first place.

Pay no attention to the speculative investor behind the curtain!

Thanks from me too Anet – a generous and appreciated gift.

I think this is nice even if it doesn’t cost them anything. I appreciate the gesture.

Or people could just buy the miniatures in the gemshop by gambling real money. Unbinding these miniatures from the value of gems (starting with dragon bash event) was one of the biggest mistakes anet did so far in my eyes. One of the reasons I stopped spending real money in gem shop.

Thanks, I would never have noticed if it wasnt for you

Thank you Anet, it was even nice to see we could sell them if we choose to…

Anet, thank u for the free items

Donno if its every day but i noticed every once and a while they have free stuff in the gem store.

I’m a bit worried what this might lead to. What next, exotics, precursor’s?

Lol… I think that’s a pretty large step there.

I think they’re doing these things to draw attention to gem store items. Not TP items. A lot of people didn’t know about the boosters or the minis (they’re kind of hidden) so I think that’s all this is

I wasn’t being serious!.

A slightly humorous, sarcastic nod to recent Watchwork fuss. Tongue-in-cheek as they say.

Yes please! One free Spark, please!

Thank you, Anet. Hubby and I will enjoy our minis.

Thanks Anet for the mini’s.

I after say doing stuff like this, the characters birthday gifts etc…is sooooo much better than other software developers.

Can’t name 1 other software company that’s given freebies out ever in 30+ years of gaming…
