Well, I’ve heard that you’re going to giveaway this minipet via some websites and during the Gamescom. What about all the other players who want to obtain it? Or, can you confirm/deny these rumors?

As many others, I’m a mini-collector, and I’ve bought all off them in the Black Lion Trading Co.

If you’re not going to release this minipet in game or on the Black Lion Trading Co, I will not buy any minipet anymore, ‘cause I’ll have a gap on the specials that I won’t able to fit in the future. I’m not the only one who thinks about it, you can see how disappointed the community is about it:

You did it the same thing with the in game t-shirt with Guild Wars 2 logo, are you going to repeat the same mistake?

Please, listen to the community as you’ve always done.
Ty for your attention.

and what if i buy 2K first and 2K after my next payday?
it’s still 4K, if that doesn’t give me the mini then you are actually buying the mini.

Well, here’s the page about the Mini Mr. Sparkles: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-black-lion-wintersday-rewards-event/. It says:

“Welcome to the month-long Black Lion Wintersday Rewards Event! Evon Gnashblade of the Black Lion Trading Company will be rewarding December customers with exclusive gifts!

Black Lion Trading Company customers who purchase at least 800 gems will receive an exclusive Green Quaggan Backpack Cover. If you purchase at least 4,000 gems, you’ll receive not only the Green Quaggan Backpack Cover, but also a Mini Mr. Sparkles of your very own!

In early January, you will receive your gift based on gems you purchase and gem codes you redeem between 12:01 AM December 1 and 11:59 PM December 31 PST."

I read that as a cumulative purchase and not one single purchase of 4,000 gems at a one time. I will verify, but that’s how I read it, anyway.
