Well, with at most 8 hours of Wintersday left, I doubt anyone will get another Polar Bear -.-
O well...next year...
627 viewers is quite a lot.
Hmmm.. did I miss something on the wiki? (confirmed mini polar bear)

even if there may be lag issues during special events, giving a mini as a reward for pvp or pve achievements is much more valuable than fixing a 0.0000000000001% drop rate on a chest anyone can open hoh chest and coffer of whispers ARE chests ANYONE can farm, just like this wintersday chest (and probably zaichen chest) make a snowball fight ladder and give one to all top 1000 accounts give one mini polar bear for any xx consecutive wins, make it a reward for a real hard solo quest, trade it for 1K candy cane shards... or anything, I'm sick of gambling in gw |
and only the snowball fight ladder idea if they make yellow snow better/usable/replaced

You must prove that you are fit to be the bear's owner

and their bear minis, with all other pandas and onis... and kanaxais... will be worth 0g within a year, when GW2 show up. Have fun, poor no lifes |

I'm sure anet could find ideas to make this kind of mini rarer than a pig, but more common than kanaxai, and hard to get, but not random

I can often beat this quest in 7-8 minutes. Help the snowmen and hide behind them. If you are starting to get overwhelmed, run as far away as you can until they stop chasing you, then use hit and run when an ally respawns. Eventually you will begin outnumbering the enemies again.

I give up, I can never finish the quest -.-

Read the second to last line in the Summary. |
"Gaile knows nothing of the Polar Bear pet rumor."
Don't you know Gaile isn't on the loop for one too many things?
That line can be read as:
"Gaile knows nothing of <insert anything here that isn't official>."

@Witchblade
IF you are indeed the ONLY person with the mini polar bear DO NOT SELL IT. Hold on to it for as long as you can. If you sell it now and it is INDEED 1 of a kind whomever you sell it to is gonna profit off of it at a later date. Cut out the middle man. Keep it for now and sell it later. Btw I saw you auction in "high-end". I guess I'm too late to tell you.

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!

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.

If witchblade gets another bear.. i wont be happy xD

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.

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

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.

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. __________________ Gaile Gray Community Relations Manager ArenaNet |

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.
