I've done around 700-1000 runs, hoping this last half hour will let me get one :/

This thread reminded me of the one on "drop rates". I'm wondering if it's possible that instead of a "standard" drop rate (i.e., each run will run a dice with very low probability), there's instead a "lottery" system where only one MPB drops, say, every hour or 10 hours.
200 runs for me, no MPB but I'm still dodging snowballs quite well .
EDIT: Rift Warden is gone while I had the SoS rewards window opened, didn't get the rewards, very funny . See you next year Wintersday!

223 successful runs, no bear. Fortunately, I climbed about a thousand points in my Sweet Tooth track and looted enough drinks and party items to make the rest of the distance in my Sweet Tooth and Drunkard tracks.

5/6 of them run in "strength of snow"
1055 wintersday presents -> posted result in Wiki
How many Frelling Mini polar bears dropped this year???
How many are actually and currently in GW?
Of course I didn't get mine. (sad) ROFL gone insane (j/k)

A rough estimate from my side would say ~200ish MPB's dropped.

about 200+ runs and no bear
anet should get a charcoal in their stockings
never mind scratch that... charcoal is too expensive..
1 wood plank is better
honestly they should up the drop rate or put it inside the winter gifts like what they did for the lunar new year celebration

I don't know if A-Net should have done the same way Blizzard did for their mini polar bear. Blizzard actually gave away the mini polar bear as a celebration for their 4th years online. I thought that was nice of them to give us players something for sticking around 4 years. (even thought we pay them monthly fee)
Well, hopefully next years wintersday, the drop-rate might be a little bit better.

Useless, 250+ runes and no bear. Same frikking mess as last year or worse. Will they ever learn?
What exactly is the purpose of keeping this mini so rare anyways???
Does it give you unlimited powers? energy? health? No?????
Then why the heck keep it so out of reach for players?!?!?!?
I cant believe I have to put with this crap again, I said I would not be here this wintersday last year, well I lied. I am still here, but in what capacity.... I am just farming stuff for my HOM that I may or may not use.
Huge screwup again Anet, I had hoped you learned your lesson last year, not quite...

O.M.G! They should give away mini pets for birthday presents! What an amazing idea!
On the runs front - I think it did about 200-300 runs. No Polar Bear, but lots of goodies, and pleased to rack up enough Spiked Nogs to finish off Drunkard. Hic!

I don't get why they only removed the rift warden and the NPC that takes you to the snowball arena. Yet they haven't taken down the decoration yet.
