Are we still getting minipet battles? I have been waiting for minipet battles for ever, Recently I found a code for an minipet battle item [&AgEyUQAA] I know back in 2012 they said we would get minipet battles, I understand they are changing alot but I belive minipet battles could bring so much life to the game and would be a huge gold sink if people want to “catch em all” What do people think?

Sounds like a relic from before launch when there was supposed to be a lot more features than we have before they got axed to facilitate an earlier release.
Guild Wars 2 released too early because ArenaNet got pushed by NcSoft. If NcSoft hadn’t been such kittenbags, GW2 would have released way better with more features and content than it did.
im not asking about the item, im attempting to get people to learn about it and hype it up, and ask the simple question of can we get it put in the game.

Most people have known about the idea of using minipets to battle since launch with the mini pet arena on the beach south’ish of the WvW gates in LA. I’m not sure if the two npc still have their pokemon minipets in it facing one another but they used to be there implying that was where it would be located.
My point was that it’s likely a long since abandoned idea from the early incarnations of the game. You could try to get a campaign for it going but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
It also doesn’t help that the vast majority of mini’s are acquired in the gem store and have rarities attached to them making any kind of difference in power a very difficult thing to work with.
Maybe have no difference in power based on rarirty, but a “friending” system of the mini.
i.e. The more you have it out and about with you, the stronger it’s connection to you, and therefore the stronger it is in battle.
The rarity system, is just rarity, and I don’t think it needs to have anything special to it. People who want to collect them, aren’t suddenly going to stop because all mini’s have the potential of being the same strength.
You can also get alot of the mini’s on the tradepost for not bad value, so the gem store isn’t the only way, I just think most people would rather sell them atm, as there’s nothing to do with them.

I usually agree with you but in this case I’m not 100% sure NcSoft can take full responsibility.
It was clearly a business decision to launch when they did but I think even Anet would have agreed they had to launch before MoP came out, because if it was a runaway success, it could have seriously affected sales.
Anet may be a company of artists, but they still would want their game to sell.
