Sometimes you have to trade something for the hat, like at one event there were jade wind orbs.

Please make the rat as easily obtainable as the pig. Kill the value of it, so everyone can get one.

EDIT: Actually, make it MORE easily obtainable. I played every day but could not be in Cantha for the finale, and didn't get any pig - because it was very rare until it started raining pigs in the finale.

I like the idea of making something available to everyone who plays on a particular day.

Can't imagine it raining pigs !

Thanks to SmithyBen & Shai Lee for your replies.

Typically you log in, go to the main town (or Shing Jea Monastery for Canthan New Year), and stand in a specially designated spot during the finale (with the finale repeating every three hours for 24 hours).

I don't like the idea of getting stuff simply for being logged in a particular day. Not only did that mean I did not get the minipig, but much worse, I didn't get the yuletide cap of the first wintersday, because it was only afforded between 8 in the evening and 8 in the morning on new years eve - when I definitely wasn't playing GW. That's my single biggest annoyance in all my time of playing GW. I haven't been interested in any of the other hats, but I really wanted that yuletide cap.

For some other objects, e.g. candy-cane weapons, there are collectors where you turn in something you obtain via quests to get the object.

EDIT: Oh yeah, for any event, always check guildwiki for details. The other players cant or wont tell you what is going on and when (trust me on this, the amount of misinformation flying around every event is astounding), and there is zero official information, so checking guildwiki is a must if you want to avoid missing out on presents.

If Anet decided to give everyone an easy chance to get all the rare things i have i wouldn't care at all. Make the Mini Rat super easy to get

(like piggy was)

if they have one this year it would be this weekend, if its not this weekend then i would think no there will not be one at all this year.
the link below puts the new year for china at feb 7th which is this thursday.
this weekend event will be posted sometime in the next 5 hours like it is every week.

They have time yet but if no one has been working on it I doubt we'll get much if any new content. A repeat would be nice though for new players who have not attended the event though. I think sometimes the dinosaurs around here forget every day new players come to the game and not everyone has been around since beta

Well they're being really slow at putting up the weekends event. I'm guessing the festival is why... hum... we shall see.

Chop chop anet

ROLLERBEETLE RACING gogo! I can't wait for them to give out another 50 of those insanely pricely minipets to flood the market with.
