thx for the note, got a bunch in my pm box already

You only need snowcone skill to complete the quest

Sahweet, now I have a reason to play in Winterdays quests.

Even if I don't get a bear, at least my boyfriend will be very happy at all the fruitcakes I'll give him for his title.

Grats Witchblade! Going to watch the thread and see if we get another lucky winner tonight, and good luck all farmers!

There is no way a-net will let this be one of a kind forever, they will give in to whining and make it the new pig i rekon, or at least the black moa

Okay, I've never been a card carrying fan of the I <3 Gaile club, but dude cut her some slack. Just this once at least?

I get that she's been wrong about some things and I've gotten pissed off about it a couple of times, but you gotta appreciate her job. She always has people asking her things left and right and the devs don't always feel they need to share things with her. I think it's apparent that this is definitely one of those times.

So instead of jumping all over her ass place the blame, if there actually is any, on the people it belongs to.

Its this aspect that bothers me more than anything about all these ultra-rare mini's, I feel there are plenty of people out there who have ill-gotten gains but haven't been caught, and aren't likely to be either, and they can offer the insane stacks of ecto + arms that no mere mortal is capable of(for the most part) imo they should be customized(or along these lines) to whoever the lucky person it drops for, the items are still priceless but just cannot be traded. This way when you see for example a kanaxai you would be able to say to yourself, "there goes a person who was part of the #1 Japan team" or "dude! you got a polar bear drop for ya, nice!" etc.... not the thought of "i wonder how many ectos + arms that guy paid...."

ps. gratz witchblade.

Nevin · Jan 03, 2008, 12:56 AM // 00:56

LMAO at all the "Omg its fake" people.

I've done 7 runs, no bear. I'm bored of it already.

Of course ANet won't let it be like that! They gonna make an Asian-prootion minipet out of it... >.>

MercenaryKnight · Jan 03, 2008, 12:58 AM // 00:58

I have farmed for 5 hours today. No drop. Also did this quest plenty of times throughout the event and my gf too. Not a single drop.

Croco Clouds · Jan 03, 2008, 12:59 AM // 00:59

Ditto, 5 hours = go back to kamadan empty handed... well, filled with cc shards

Zinger314 · Jan 03, 2008, 01:00 AM // 01:00

There's something very odd. Even with a 0.01% drop rate, you'd think someone else would have confirmed its existence.

This is a legitimate conspiracy. Heck, even if the drop rate was 0.0001%, someone else would have found atleast one.

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

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

i congradulate witchblade BUT ENVY HER A LOT TOO

So I'd say "maintaining people's enjoyment of minis" is higher in importance than "maintaining the marketability of said item"

But I'm not the one who decides, so your points are well taken.

If that's the case, then what's with the extremely low drop rate? To me, the value in a minipet is the looks and enjoyment of it, not whether it'll fetch millions in gold. If the bear were to drop in price to 1g because it dropped for everyone, I would not care. I'd enjoy it regardless. Please increase the drop rate so more of the community can enjoy this very cute mini.
