Yeah, weird no one else has hollared yet about getting one.

Though, some people might not want to draw attention to themselves. If my bf got one, I know he wouldn't tell many people, and he sure as hell wouldn't post on an elite fansite with people PMing offers and "can I see?" and stuff. *shrug*

Please increase the drop rate so more of the community can enjoy this very cute mini.

Free Kanaxais too, please?

Guess what? Next update probably will increase their drop rate.

And make you wait about a year.

/OT for wiki paparazzis

see the ribbon around its neck? must be hoax as well *grins*

Well on the bright side check out the other drops people got.. i for one have over 50 eggnogs, over 100 spiked, a bunch of cc's and 2 stacks of candycane shards.. trade those shards in for presents and sell the stuff you get.. its quite a bit of money...

....run#1-run#56= No polar bear

off to run #57

I think this is a trick to attract attention to Wintersday...albeit it came a little too late.

What's the % of people who actually post in forums that play GW? Given the fact this mini may have a small drop rate coupled with the fact only a small portion of the community actually visit fan sites it's safe to say even if there was another mini polar bear somewhere, you will never hear of it.

guildwars101 · Jan 03, 2008, 01:19 AM // 01:19

gotta admit this sucks...its wintersday and anet pulls this now we are all out working our asses off for something whitchblade got in a process of bulding a stack...im on my 2nd so far and thats just me

RedStar · Jan 03, 2008, 01:20 AM // 01:20

The mini polar bear is cute, but the ribbon around his neck is not really cute....

I sold 130 spiked at 500g each earlier to a very eager buyer despite advertising them as 250 in trade

Can't go wrong with easy money eh

Sirugel Kai · Jan 03, 2008, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Witchblade is officially the luckiest person on Gwguru

She didn't say anything about Kanaxai, and didn't say anything about a free miniature either. Please read again. She was clearly stating that this miniature is an event miniature, and that the drop rate is so incredibly low that barely anyone at all will end up with one. It seems like the theory of player enjoyment of minis being more important than their marketability isn't true here. Again, she didn't say anything about free, just more attainable. There have been people here that have farmed for hours on end to no fruition and it just doesn't seem to fit in with the fact that it's an event and that it's wintersday. So really she's asking that it be more attainable than having only 3 of millions of players have one.

Cherrie · Jan 03, 2008, 01:23 AM // 01:23

Just wondering...
Witchblade, have you maybe done all Wintersday quests this year with the char that got Bear drop?

And if so, does anyone here that also farm have done 'em all?

Is that with every solo nerf factored in?

But it’s like some one else said here the fact that this event has been going on 12 days and there’s only been one (or only one person getting multi) should have raise a red flag that there is something wrong. Yet with the solo nerf stacked on of the reduced and messed up drop rate nerfs I can't say I am not surprised.

I've done all on my ranger, and a friend has done all on their derv.

This is the link for mini polar bear on offical wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miniature_Polar_Bear

and also if you read this link http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mini under "In Game Miniatures" it also mentions the mini Polar Bear so I guess both Wiki's are filled with fakes like everybody seems to think.

Congratulations Witchblade on your find I guess some people find it hard to believe something exists if they are not the ones to find out about it first and others just like to argue and are jealous about anything uhmmmm like Zinger

Ogrefist Hellchaser · Jan 03, 2008, 01:27 AM // 01:27

you know 4million ppl play gw... probably a bunch arnt playing cuz of family and holidays... lets assume thats a total of 20,000 people did the quests. 0.0001% of 20,000 is.................2. so i dont see how people expect to see like 20 of em being reported seeing as not every1 uses GwGuru, or the Wiki's for taht matter

i seriously doubt this being more than luck in the chest drop but if you wanna know:

i did the grentch one, discovered the Dwayna quest available after doing it, did both a dozen of time (alternate) at the beginning of Wintersday then found out that you can leave to "refresh" the quest faster

then i runned the Strength of Snow only for a few hours each day during half the event, like most people farming atm did.. i did the NF quests as well and switched to random usual stuff til the finale.

Today i decided to farm more CCs to get gifts, made 6-7 more runs, then u know the end of the story

@Lady Kaz: those wiki fellas showed today they love testing people's patience

nice attitude, thx again guys
i still wonder why i take time posting stuff there and making SS, all you get is shit in yer hand

Stop The Storm · Jan 03, 2008, 01:31 AM // 01:31

bobrath · Jan 03, 2008, 01:31 AM // 01:31

End of the story should be a nice pic of your mini polar bear statue in the HoM... as your avatar of course!

:P
