Also if someone dropped something on the ground to pick up with the chest drops there would be more then 5 items listed in chat that were picked up or there would still be event items on the ground, 15 second timer from opening the chest to mapping you out is hardly enough time for anyone to fake something more then this poor attempt below.

that picture is real!!!!

Ok that sounds like a good reason. But i don't like to joke about fake polar bear drops.
We even made a wintersday rule this year: Do not joke about polar bear drops

It sounds like you have Strength of Snow (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Strength_of_Snow) confused with the Secret Lair of the Snowmen (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Secre...of_the_Snowmen)

Saw a couple of fake sellers in Kamadan *trying* to sell unded polar bears for around 900e each. So, I believe your hypothesis.

Ther are several buyers right now in kam going WTB Polar Bear 700e!!!!! gg..

Last year I saw only one person selling and they wanted 1200e. Saw a few people buying at 1000e.

No clue why price is so much lower this year considering the HoM update should have risen the price...

Dyeane · Dec 19, 2010, 11:55 PM // 23:55

I don't know that the HoM should have a huge effect on the prices of super-rare minis, as there are more than 50 significantly less rare minis. So the demand for them shouldn't change much in response to HoM.

did my one run today---only got 12 candy cane shards (which I dont seem to be able to get from the dang gifts

) and no, no polar bear.....may do another run or two just for the cc shards----

good luck to the farmers!

Star_Jewel · Dec 20, 2010, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Would the benefit of a price decrease from faking a drop really be worth the risk of dropping a MBP on the ground, hitting a lag spike, and getting kicked out before you could pick it up again in the 15 seconds you have? I know power-traders are natural risk-takers, but that seems crazy to me.

I've done about half a dozen runs -- no bear. I might try dual-logging and do a couple more runs (my storage ranger hasn't died yet; might as well benefit), but I doubt I'll go crazy with it. Too many other, more interesting things to do than be disappointed over and over and over again.

Winry Rockbell · Dec 20, 2010, 05:30 AM // 05:30

I have a question for all, has anyone got a drop yet?
Because i think mini polar bear only started to drop from ~24-25th last year, but correct me if i'm wrong.

BuD · Dec 20, 2010, 05:37 AM // 05:37

2 of em, post # 280 & 284.

Post # 154, Dec 21st 2009 was the first one in this thread. Some one could have got one before & not posted it.

Thats me^^

Some times when i see 4 WTB polar bear and i enter de trade they all leave..... When i started some people whisper me with "thats to high" or "are u crazy?" But i still haven't bought one. So i think its not to high else everyone would sell to the crazy person. I think they are to cute to sell or so.
The other times that i farm and enter the city i do: wtb ded polar wsp price. And i don't know what i must do laugh of cry? Im getting whispers yeah i want to buy 5k.....
So then i think a lot of it must be "scammers" who want to take advantage from people who got the drop and don't know what it is.

Why i buy so high(at least they say so)? I just want the stupid bear this year!

You are very stupid.

Killed u man · Dec 20, 2010, 02:14 PM // 14:14

As for the polar bear price:

Unlike ecto, zkeys, ... the prices for minipets are "fake". A minipet holds no real value, and in such can only be looked at as a collector's item. There is no real demand for these items, and thus the value worth of these items is only relative because you don't really have the option of liquidating your assets, or simply put: make money with it.

As opposed from lower end minipets, who people are always willing to buy to ded to their HoM, these high end minipets got even more devaluated by the HoM update because you don't even get anything special for these pets. (compared to cheap ones)

In other words: High-End minipets are essentially worthless. They're only worth as much as people are willing to pay for them at any given time. Since the HoM update, the people willing to buy these minipets have declined by a small amount (Because some people bought them because they figured they recieved special rewards for special minipets).

The picture might be real, but the lockpick was dropped into place, as it has no sparkles.

I wish the MPB rate would be increased. If not, at least give us a new minipet this year and/or with events. IMO, the mini pet statue/hom is almost unattainable for the casual player. I filled mine, but I don't consider myself a casual player.
