There was a thread about this on GWO like a month ago already.

I like how people on the wiki automatically put a notice up saying it's fake, without reading this thread

Seriously, learn to read.

Can't get to the rift warden if you only own factions - but since it is so late I suspect we will begin to see it drop from wintersday chest at end of secret lair of snowmen.

That's till the second of januari which is today. /sigh I guess this mini will remain very rare. And not to obtain for at least a year.

Come on gaile Give us a Redux for all the latency and festivals we have gotten snatches >.> *cry*

Typical Anet. I just finished Straight To The Heart and got 5 items (no mini). If this is true, why can't they just make it a guaranteed chest drop?

There's jagginess round everything. No AA ftl.

Can't see a shadow under the bear though, and I'm pretty sure minis do have shadows.

edit: huh, forgot to quote the post I was replying too.

That's exactly my point. The event ends today (I'm pretty sure) and for most people, today is a work day. People who work, may not even log in tonight to get a chance at this. If they do, they're not going to want to keep running this until it "randomly" drops for them.

It'll probably keep dropping just like the IDS.

I'm sad. I missed all the fun in Kamadan. I go to install my new RAM and everyone disappears when I come to see. *goes to cry in the corner*

fyi, i did +- 6-7 runs today and got it, but i made a LOT of runs before to gather stacks of CC and didnt saw one, hence the clumsy post and wiki-double check before.

So my guess is that's maybe new stuff from the finale, maybe even not that rare but available only since today.

It's never ended on the second before. It wouldn't surprise me if it was at least around for another weekend.

That said, the small chance of a cool mini isn't motivation enough to haul my ass through those dull, arduous snowball quests over and over again.

With the ease of HQ fake these days I don't blame people for not believing (plus the fact this is out of nowhere and numerous Gaile denials and past hoaxes) but a ton of us saw it in game already in Kamadan. There's no doubt about it they cannot fake showing off a mini pet in town.

He's an idiot imo. Same thing going on on the official http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miniature_Polar_Bear

EDIT: Yay for yelling to people on the wiki.
