Guild Wars 2

Do you guys love mini pets?Find them useful?Or are they just for show.

Uhh, I don’t see where you want to take the thread but I will bite.
I love them. Not only because I think they are awesome, being loyal companions in mini-mode but also because I like to collect stuff.

Mini Mr Sparkles however made me stop collecting for now.

I always liked minis, I think it’s pretty cool to have mini monsters following me in my adventures. I’m not really a fan of humanoid ones though, especially in GW2 where we have human NPC 1, 2, 3, etc especially when some of them have the exact same model as others, I wish we could have some more diversity.

I thought I would like them. Then I used one and saw that it not only deactivates when changing zones but also never keeps up with me. If I travel any distance I turn around and it is half a map a way. Seems kind of pointless unless you are standing in one place most of the time. I suppose they have short legs but I guess they are not for me.

I think their ‘use’ is to be shown off. =)

I enjoyed mini pets in gw1. I liked getting the random ones at your birthday and being able to trade with friends for ones I didn’t have.

I haven’t gotten into mini pets as much in gw2. I’ve collected less than 20 (4 from HOM, 4 from Halloween, 4 from mail gift, a few more here and there). I use them less here than in gw1. I just don’t remember to get them out and use them.

Can’t really show it off when it is so far behind you no one sees it near you and they don’t know who it belongs to.
