I’m not sure if the general discussion is the right place to post suggestions, but since I am blind and haven’t found anything else…
I would love there to be an option to randomize minipets, similar to how we randomize finishers. Let’s say we get a check box, which would select a random mini every time your character changes maps.
Speaking from experience, I basically have no intention of collecting further minis now, because I know at least 20% of them I’m gonna neglect altogether, 50% of them I’m gonna display very rarely, only about 10% of them I like enough to be bothered and cycle between them. I think this randomization button would greatly increase the value of the mini collection, just because manually selecting new ones is such a hassle. It might be a minor thing, but please let me know if somebody out here would also appreciate the option.

I would love a mini randomization mechanic, especially if you could select a subset of them. (Same with finishers: I don’t use the random feature because I don’t want to “waste” any of my limited finishers and some I just don’t like.)

The suggestion has been made in these very forums a few times, gets some brief attention, and then falls off the front page, i.e. it’s good that you brought it up again.

I +1 this idea. Maybe include a “next” option to cycle early if you get one you really don’t like? Or like IWN indicated, check boxes for the ones to include.

I would love this.

I have 316 mini pets (and counting) and apart from the spiders (which creep me out) I want to use all of them regularly. I do switch them regularly but it’s a pain to try and remember which ones I’ve used recently and which haven’t had their “turn”.

I’d love it if the mini I’m using just randomly changed when I switched maps. And if it did switch to a spider I could always change it.

I like this idea. =)

You might consider posting it in the QoL Suggestions Sticky, which, purportedly, the Devs read and may get ideas to implement.

Good luck.

I will totally do that. As I said, I’m just blind and missed it the first time I was looking through the forum Oh, man, QoL thread, I’m gonna have sooo many suggestions…
I also love that I’m not the only one in this. Like an Undertale star, it fills me with determination.

Interesting idea.

I dont collect minis in GW2 because so many are untradeable, but I can see how this idea could be nice for those who do. I would have loved it in GW1.
