It seems like everyone should have a reasonable chance of getting one, like the Celestial Rats. Not everyone needs to get 10 of them, but it would sure be nice If they increased the drop rate to at least a spitting chance of a drop. I would be extremely interested to find out their reasoning for such a low drop rate on a festival item.

The same reason they released an assload of minipets only in certain regions and/or via contests... they're jerks.

Same reason that mini-pig debacle happened.

Well at least they announced it earlier. I remember when the mini polar came out last year and that was near the end of wintersday. At least they told us this time. Though it would be nice if more would drop.

Now a random scrub who thinks that Mending is the best thing since sliced bread happens to get the reward. PvP players who express their dismay on ANet for creating a dragon emoting wammo are just a childish bunch of whiners who think that everything should be easily gotten, amirite?

pvp'ers who are worth their salt wouldnt care because a bad player wit all the max titles will still be bad.

LMAO...Hell Yeah! But you got your polar bear or had one (not sure if you still do) and I dont got one so all this is easy for you to say! I had to move from my spot on the bridge where you hang out in Spamadan and head over to the poor section of town between the merchant and the bridge and sometimes into D2 now because I am ashamed. I hate people richer than me... GRRRrrrrrr (<---- angry polar bear sound coming from me in real life).

OMG! I am already angry and pumped up about farming this darn bear. If I get one pm bugging me over xmas and cutting into my 14 days of 24 hour grinding and farming I am gonna be pissed. Wintersday is going to be a one time shot at massive profits. Screw the holiday spirit. Do not bring me presents, do not beg presents from me, do not ask me to help with missions, make pc's or just chat about real life or I swear you are going on my ignore list. That blistering cold wind that howls thru town is not going to put me in a better mood either (hey Anet! Ever hear of a nice sunny winter day with no wind, the sun shining, and the birds chirping?) Oh...I am not being sarcastic either. Try to be friendly this year and you get no second chances cuz I aint in the mood for it.

I am sure I speak for the 1 million other polar farmers. My god...they better pump up the server load for that mission cuz it is gonna be a crush!

But depend on the title, you have to be skilled in order to get it. Like the r15 Hero, you can't just be some dumbass players and somehow get that title, it doesn't happen that way.

So there will be 2 Mini's this year. I quit GW like 6 months ago. Probaly come back for this event to get these mini's

A11Eur0 · Dec 11, 2008, 06:34 AM // 06:34

What other mini will come from this event? I'm confuzzled.

cataphract · Dec 11, 2008, 08:06 AM // 08:06

I don't understand why all the fuss about minis. It's not like they're useful for anything except clogging your inventory.

Now Diabolical · Dec 11, 2008, 08:40 AM // 08:40

If the Polar Bear drops, the Question is not "How often will he drop in the whole Event?".
20-50 Drops during the whole Event will bring the Price maybe to one quite similar to a Panda.

The really interesting Question is, how often will he drop in the first hours/ first two days.
20 Pandas in the first three, four, maybe five Days and you can say Good Night.

Don't spend Life in Ectos.

I wonder, why nobody sells his one in Panic right know.

LeoX · Dec 11, 2008, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Haha, i still have the quest active in my quest log since last year.
I'm definitely going back this year and trying to get myself one again, hopefully i'll get lucky and won't have to try for hours like last year.

Actually i'm the kind of person who doesn't mind grinding for hours if i know there's a chance to have a good reward at the end. Of course i know the chances are very slim, but it still gives me the drive to do it because every time, in this case, i exit the cave i tell myself "maybe next time is the one", and it keeps motivated haha.

I didn't regret farming it for hours after, i was a little disappointed i didn't get a bear; that's natural, but i could say that i tried my best and for that i was happy. Plus i had quite a few goodies such as shards and stuff like others have mentioned, so i did take in a few plats

Lol.

I don't see how ANet is a jerk when they release minis through contests and shit. They released them through PvP contests first, and later through giveaways/contests on their site.
EVERYONE had a chance to join in the contests on the site. EVERYONE had an equal chance of winning one. Don't go crying now because you didn't get one, you could have ahd one if you joined in the contests.

I am not sure, but isn´t Australia excluded from most competitions? And I think he is talking about the Europe exclusive magazine contests.

I love the guild sig but you may want to lay off the acid for 24 hours or so(send me any unused portions)

. I have not seen anything regarding 2 different types of minis being available.

and you are confusing AU11Eur0 too boot.

Can I have your spot in the poor part of Spamadan while you farm the damn pet?

On a second note, I can see a thread coming up after the event, by whiners who didn't get a bear :P

I was just pointing out you can't have a bad player with all the titles maxed because there is only so much "no brain titles". Stupid comment sure but hey, still vaild =D

I don't farm like mad for anything but this is just so ridiculous...GTFO Anet

DarklingKiller · Dec 12, 2008, 12:27 AM // 00:27

Most of you are wasting your time... seriously.

There will be about 3-4 drops the entire event and then those who farmed for it all the time and didn't get one will QQ and make 500 threads about it. Just have fun snowballing and stuff or continue with your missions. There's no reason to kill yourself trying to get a couple thousand ectos.

Lykan · Dec 12, 2008, 01:11 AM // 01:11

oh noes dere cud be lots of mina poler bears!!!

omg teh econimiez!!!111!!
