Q:

Today’s in-game sales on the Black Lion store show the Mini Pets set to on sale for 300 gems. They were 300 gems before the “sale” (I know since I bought some yesterday). Isn’t the design of a sale to discount the item? Is this a bug or was Anet intending to put an item on “sale” without a markdown?

Nah. These are leaving the store after 16 hours. Set 3 is presumably coming out. They are alerting folks to the fact that these minis are leaving the store so they buy them now.

Except they aren’t telling you they’re leaving the store. They say, “Only [time] left at this price!” with the orange sale indicator. When things were expiring in the past, it would tell you it was limited time remaining and leaving the store. It would be nice to know if they’re leaving or not.

People buy these?

Jokes, but yeah I honestly thought I remember seeing something on the minis leaving… but it might have been a dream or something.

I found this odd also. I believe last time they added set 2 before removing set 1 and let people know that set 1 was leaving. I was thinking that they made a mistake and were supposed to mark the scarlet set as the one leaving. Either way it would be nice if there was a better way to update the players without external websites. I remember in GW1 they used to post message just after logging in to the game.
