why do ppl do such a fuss over a miniature when there's much more 'serious' matters with the game?

PS: i'll try and get one too, but man a 13 page long thread....

Well.. who knows... If it's currently only available from the Wintersday Chest 2007, wouldn't that make it a potential addition for the Chest of Wintersday Past in 2008?

Just a thought.............

i agreed on most of your posts, but this one i think is kinda wrong imo. I mean, yea it is just a game, but think about this situation IRL, how many your friends or family members, or even their friends are milionars?

It actually makes sense that this quest is EotN only, even though you pick it up in LA/Kamadan, it takes place in an EotN area. And they're allowed to require you to have a certain game for certain content...if you don't have Factions, you can't participate in Canthan New Year...yes, it sucks, but they are allowed to do that. Besides, don't they want people to buy EotN?

QFT, rather they upped the drop of this mini so most people can have one, rather than 3 people who sell it for 1,000,000 ecto and 20568857567568 armbraces. It's a really cute mini, a little mini of ursula the white, probably the sweetest little polar bear there is with a red ribbon and bell around her neck. I want one for my girlfriend, but farming is fruitless thus far. hopefully it'll be available in the ordinary chest from snowman lair too, with as much chance of dropping as it does now. then more people have a chance at it.

on the quests, dwaynas side is pretty easy (you can run to the end) but is there anyway to speed up grenths side? it seems there's no choice but to go slow or you'll waste your mob away too quickly making this tedious as hell.

You'd have a good point except EotN isn't really that much of a participant of Wintersday and you only need Prophecies or Nightfall to be involved in it.
And what about all those people who have Factions and EotN but not the other two?

I will agree with you that it's (the mini) probably doubled as an incentive for people who don't have EotN to buy it. But when things like this happen I'm actually less likely to buy the product if I don't already have it as it's not fair to some and does nothing but piss me off.

LOL. I gave up on "luck" items awhile ago.

32 months played and still never better than a common white birthday present. One of the many reasons I don't think gw2 will be on my pc.

Anet you have no problem trashing rarity on weapon skins yet you leave mini pets in game that inspire Ebay purchases .. feel free to explain the sense in that.

I'll have to recheck wiki, but I thought these snowman lair quests were only doable if you had EotN.

To whomever cites items being given unfairly in Guild Wars, I have yet to find a single example of an item that "ruins" a game that not everyone get. You have failed to come up with a REASON why it RUINS the game. If I don't own Nightfall, I can't get Mallyx... If I don't own Factions, I can't get a Lion's Head... I don't own the BMP and I can't get the special weapons. Would I complain if those were the case (which only the BMP is), no, because they don't affect my gaming because I didn't purchase the content Anet got us. Its called not being a cheapass and getting something you might enjoy. ANet is not here to give you everything for free.

Sheesh.

Just accept the reward, switch districts and you can re-do the quest immediately.

They are only doable if you have EotN (and Prophecies or Nightfall). That's the point. Not sure what you're getting at. You may have misunderstood something in the post.
