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.

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

my ele got a pig on the 55th try now after 635 tries 0(zero)pigs

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

it feels like the drop rate for the piggy dropped significantly yesterday.
I know people yesterday who got 3-4 pigs rather quickly.

Haha, after opening around 500 fortunes, I still don't have a pig. I should have just bought one instead.
False Healer
Opened over 1000 fortunes and no Piggy...Thanks for nothing Anet

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

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

yep the p[rices of pigs has hit zero! have a good canthan new year guys

The pigs are slightly different (bigger) but still pigs I think. The lion masks are great.. if only you could join with other people in your party and have a tail thing going too. So glad I sold a full stack of lunar tokens before this. I still have one stack sitting around just in case there is new stuff to buy.
Granted, I might as well ask for the lion dance at this rate.

Actually, you apparently get a mini pig only if someone in your district hands in at least one item for each dish. Some districts did not get pigs the first go round.
Still, point taken - rock bottom piggy prices. I almost bought one for 30k... glad I saved my money.

the celestial pig gives u the miniature only if your district prepares him 5 out of 5 dishes

I would just like to say that I logged on for the first time this event slightly before Gaile Grey came on, had done nothing, and got myself a Mini Pig.
I lol @ all of you.
But seriously, I do feel for you guys that struggled for them. That's kinda not cool.

I'm pleased now, I have my piggie. Had no idea it was going to be a gift like that at the end. Quite a nice surprise.

To tell you, I laughed so hard when I got the "There's a mini-pig in your inventory" announcement. It's so hilarious. (Mainly because I've sold so many tokens during the event, thinking that I won't ever get the pig because I'm not as lucky as some people.)
Lamont Shadow
so, I was right and the pig was the prize!
I don't mind because if finally got one in a fotune late last night and sold it immediately - so I didn't lose anything by buying a pig earlier.
The only thing I regret is that I feel bad whoever bought it from me paid 7k more than I had paid for mine - if I could remember who it was I would give the money back because I don't like to see someone waste effort and money thinking they are getting a rare item and then finding out it is free the next day.
I still can't figure out why they included pigs in the fortunes when they were going to be given away anyway - made people waste a lot of time getting tokens when they could have been getting supplies for the feast and caused a lot of hurt feelings as people fought over what they thought was a rare item - seriously NOT COOL Anet!

1) it is Japan, get your countries straight
2) they are in most cases pvp tournament prizes or other promo giveaways, a limited number - 50-60 island guardians and 50-60 pandas, 8 kanaxais. The divine aura, grey giant are far more common uniques, the Japanese minipets are unrealistic for the average player to get, yet you can spam for 30 mins in kamadan and bag a grey giant for 25k. Don't whine, you are never going to get a panda..
oh, really I am lost for words.. wth

i dont want a panda, i love my grey giant.
and im not whining im just saying that its not fair.

Sure it is, it doesnt affect you in any way, you can obtain one of these items if you have enough gold just like anyone in any country. They were given out as tournament prizes, seeing as the upcoming tournament is giving out $7000 worth of PC gear..

The average player is not meant to obtain them, that should be obvious. So basically you can't get your hands on a super-rare minipet and don't like it, huh?

I really can't believe the complaints we're seeing today.
In the real world people will always pay more to have the newest coolest gizmos the mini pig is no different, if you wanted piggy you paid a premium lets get over that.
Also think of piggy as the budget mini pet he is attainable for those of us that cant afford 300k+ for a panda although the latter is availble to those with the funds.
If there was nothing to aspire to what would be the point in playing anymore?
