800 eh?
Well maybe after 650 I shouldn't give up but it does seem hopeless at this point.

300 of those were yesterday so at least for me the drop rate is exactly the same.

i have my piggie so i am not frustrated on that.

thank you for proving my point that the sample taken is meaningless

if *only* 100k people (probably very low) joined in with *only* 25 attempts (most seem to be 250 and up) your big 2600 sample is taken out of 2.5 million attempts (more likely out of 5 million to 10 million attempts)

that is truly statistically insignificant.

good night

Someone pointed this out in a different thread; if you get bad luck from one of the fortunes- zone before opening more. The bad luck may be reducing your chances of getting a piggy.

Smile Like Umean It · Feb 18, 2007, 03:39 AM // 03:39

Hmm, I got bad luck then the Lucky one. So what's that do?

CONGRATS! YOU ARE NOW NORMAL!

Melody Cross · Feb 18, 2007, 04:23 AM // 04:23

Got my piggy! Yah!

…had to buy it though. Boo…

Some people are thinking they are very rare. Some people are saying they are very common. After racing all day for tokens, questing 4 PvE characters for over 500 tickets, I think they are RARE. VERY VERY RARE! So if you have 2 or three be a friend, sell one cheap =) He's cute!

Andisa Kalorn · Feb 18, 2007, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Got my piggy last night when everyone was thinking they were really common - within my first 50 tries or so. Thought that if they were common, maybe try to get one more for my other account. 500 fortunes later and no more pigs. Now I'm really glad my first char got one!

Knightsaber Sith · Feb 18, 2007, 04:32 AM // 04:32

At any rate, I really enjoyed the novelty of an event mini and hope to see more in the future. But in the future they should keep it so that you can get the necessary items from quests so you don't have to farm certain monsters like crazy. I found this mini drop rate to be reasonable; but since some people are having a really hard time with it maybe they should make it a little more likely to drop for any future event minis.

Fire Rm · Feb 18, 2007, 05:47 AM // 05:47

ummm, i got a theory.
i got my pig after paying 100g to this Noonam guy that lunch pigs in the air (the 10G gives them a good flight)
maybe if ull pay ALOT, pigs will love ya.

lyra_song · Feb 18, 2007, 06:12 AM // 06:12

it feels like the drop rate for the piggy dropped significantly yesterday.

I know people yesterday who got 3-4 pigs rather quickly.

The Ernada · Feb 18, 2007, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Haha, after opening around 500 fortunes, I still don't have a pig. I should have just bought one instead.

False Healer · Feb 18, 2007, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Opened over 1000 fortunes and no Piggy...Thanks for nothing Anet

Menzoberranzan · Feb 18, 2007, 07:52 AM // 07:52

Got the piggy on the latest Fortune on my 2nd char after finishing the quests.

First char no luck, third no luck. I'll try the 4th and see lol

Orphan Anthem · Feb 18, 2007, 08:00 AM // 08:00

Yeah this whole mini-pig thing has really got me angry there are people who have gotten so many yet i could have PURCHASED a mini-pig or 4 with the ammount of tickets ive opened

lord_shar · Feb 18, 2007, 08:11 AM // 08:11

Good news: The celestial hog event gives you 16 red gift bags, a red lion mask, and a golden piggy!
