Why are they removing mini set one pets?

The prices of the exotics shot up by a few hundred gold and some are not even on the market any more…

Who of you have managed to complete all of your set 1 mini pets?

I don’t know, but this is really making me angry… I was just getting into collecting the money i need to get the full set and the title for it, and now out of the blue this happens and every single miniature has doubled in price, and none of the exotics are available anymore. This is probably going to be worse than the precursor market, since the last time I’ve checked, the exotic miniatures were costing higher than the precursors, and now they aren’t available anymore, which makes me think that they will raise that price when they become unavailable at the gem store, and I think that Arenanet team have to be aware of creating another precursor-like market, even though they keep saying that they are highly against those types of things in their game, because I see no other reason for doing this, it is in no way beneficial to the players.

Just going to leave another comment to bump this, since i really think we deserve an explanation or an answer as to why they are doing this.

As soon as I saw it I bought my mini chromatic ooze at 16 gold. 1 hour later it was at 49 gold and only 5 remained from like 40 something.

Good luck y’all collectors, I gave up on doing it the day I bought 5 mini 1 set and most of them gave me same crap pretty much

Why? It’s pretty obvious. Pack-1 sales were starting to wane, so they say they’ll remove it creating an urgency. This will cause sales to spike before they remove them earning some extra cash. It’s all about money, and considering minis add nothing to gameplay and are a hassle to use anyway I have no problem with this. Game’s gotta float somehow.
PS: Wish I’d be faster playing that market, could’ve earned some free gold…ah well

Problem is this is the wrong way. It should float on expansions.

And saying “minis add nothing to gameplay” is flawed. For you is does not. For many collecting things like item IS the gameplay. But the way that works in GW2 where you buy them is not that fun indeed. I was one of those people collection mini’s in other games (so where that was part of my gameplay) but in GW2 I only got the ones I really like.

It’s once again one of the many negative effects of a focus on the Gemstore but exactly like Zorby says a money thing.

Anet works now with a F2P system, meaning they focus on the gem-store for income and then you get this sort of imo bad behavior. Being it temporary available items, the removal of the mini pack, the new hair-site in the gem-store, the living story and so on.

You don’t want this, the only thing you can do is not buying any gems and maybe get your friends not to buy gems but also make clear to Anet that you are willing to pay for a expansion if they stop this sort of bad behavior and add this sort of things to such an expansion. So the mini’s can simply be available ingame in stead of a gem-store what made them kinda boring anyway.

I think it’s silly that they made a title for it.

Anyone who joins after October GG my friends.
