Mini Madness...

What the hell A-net ?! Europians had a lottery were we had to BUY a magazine to get a chance of a mini, and North-America just have to subscribe without costs ?!
First we get screwed over with the Mini destroyer (I could live with that...)
But now America gets another advantage. Where is your fair policy now ?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the odds of anyone winning a contest where you just sign up are minute compared to the odds of finding a code in a magazine.

In any case, Americans had to deal with NO rare minipets for a long time; they were all Asian and European. Let's not get our panties all in a bunch about something I do believe most people consider useless anyway...

Cant argue with these objections.
America have the better end of the deal when it comes to the recent Minipet giveaways.

[Raven Flameheart]

Europe got better mini's.
Please, let's not have this discussion again (there's other threads on it). It just ends up with Euorpeans complaining because they got only a lottery, whilst Amerca complains because they all got the same,common, mini.

Erm... read the link. I beleive those were the exact same minis being given away in the mags over this side of the pond (Europe), now being given away over that side of the pond.

Ah, my mistake. Seeing the same threads over and over kind of makes you cynical that things aren't going to be different. Sorry OP.

In which case, it makes sense to give all europeans free destroyers.

1 per account and it runs a few months with each month 1000 winners....
+ useless, yeah, but worthless ? Hell no.

Only we (Europeans) have to actually spend money to be thrown in the "lottery".
Good Marketing, NCsoft/Anet/Whoever does it =|
*Thumbs down*

[FourthVariety]

It's been a lottery in Europe, it is a lottery in the U.S. Basically the same but only in two different flavors. The main difference being that Europeans had to pay for their lottery ticket while Americans can enter for free.

[spin]
but it is a fair trade if you consider that the European magazines make good toilet paper.

What people seek in collecting minis is beyond me. I liked greased lightning because it was part of a skill contest, but all these random drop minis I just don't get. Leave them to the attention seekers and fortune hunters I say.

Agree, but doesnt even have to be free.

As long as its a mini included with a mag and we get it with 100% certainty, instead of the 0% chance of the current euro pet giveaway.

The Gray Giant and Asura were the same, why'd they go change things now and cause division between teritories and appear to favor certain areas.
