Dear ANet,

Please extend Wintersday. For those of us with obligations during the holiday season, we missed all the fun.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be super-duper-extra-califragilistic-happy... XD

Yeah, if I had the only one of a Wintersday-exclusive minipet, I wouldn't want it extended either.

It's been suggested before I am sure but the obvious solution isn't to extend wintersday but to have these festivals shortly before or after the holiday we associate with them.

So Wintersday would finish the week Before Christmas or begin the week after the new year.
ditto for Canthan New year and Haloween etc.

There must be many people who want to spend time with their friends and families not to mention parents who see it as unreasonable for their offspring to spend all of the holiday gaming.

Its a fantasy game so why not holidays based accordingly.

I don't care either way, but honestly I prefer Lion's Arch without all the decorations. I liked the snow. Why can't GW have national weather. Make everywhere all snowy, rain, sunny, etc. That'd be fun for GW2, hint, hint.

I've really enjoyed the event and will be coming out of it with hundreds of sweets + eggnogs etc. But it's time to move on

Besides, the bright snow in Kamadan gets on my nerves.

I've been avoiding Kamadan and Lion's Arch because of the snow there. I usually like snowy places, but there's something about snow being in those places that really bugs me.

So, no. Please no.

I'd love more chances at an uber rare polar bear mini pet, but I couldn't care either way on an extension as I personally won't have all that much time to play anyway.

if they extended an event every time someone QQ'd about missing it, the events would NEVER end. there's always someone who wants a special exception made just for them...

Meh, the bear is the only really exciting thing to happen with Wintersday. The hats aren't that great and there is more lag then usual. The bear will quickly be forgotten/not near as popular. People will forget about it for the most part so meh.

I have to agree that kamaden is way to white, and i do like snow. It also is always packed beyond belief and i never want to go there due to alot of slowdown. So im gonna have to say please dont extend the event!

/not signed. It was fun. I had a great time, and am delighted in knowing that those silly people from Kamadan AD3 who insisted that Blue circles = Grenth tasted much embarrassment when the first event started.

Note to A-Net: Please change the snowball fight colors to match the ring colors (Blue/Dwayna, Red/ Grenth) so it won't confuse some people. The in-town decorations weren't enough of a give-away for them.

You're basically saying Please extend Wintersday so I can farm more for the Mini Polar Bear and sell it for lots of cash....

The exact reason it should be extended, to be honest. Fix the lag and let the people have a better event. Plus the drop rate on the polar bear is really kneeing the economy in the crotch. Everybody wants it but can't get it - like the Nintendo Wii but rarer. I suggest the drop rate be increased a modest amount so that people still have to work for it, but at least have a chance of getting it. That, or toss it in the Chest of Wintersday Past in normal GW:EN. Don't be such Scrooges, ANet!

I'm not thrilled about the past 24hrs and if Wintersday ends now, I'm not thrilled about that either. It's just going to leave a feeling of disillusionment. I really wish they'd left "rare" minis for elite chests, in elite zones, were people apparently like that sort of thing. Anything they add to a festival should be much more accessible.

This thread is more of a request to be able for other players to obtain the minipet, sometimes I just wish that mini was never created it was very badly planned.

/notsigned, can we just end this grinding event already?

I hope for the sake of GW...that the Polar Bears will be put as drop into the Zaishen Chest..when Winterday is over ...

it would suck nothing more and nothing more would be lamer, then to introduce NATURALLY on the LAST event day a new minipet ..and then letting it be an "event only minipet" where players have only once a year the chance to get it >.<


Also Anet (Gaile) said.. that the Zaishen Chest will hold for us also some new "before yet unseen" drops

why not put the polar bear to the ZC with like a similar Drop Chance like Mallyx from those special GoA Boxes...

Or.....

even better, make the Polar bear into the reward for a quest Black Moa style. The idea of including an incredibly rare mini in wintersday and only wintersday was just a really stupid idea - hopefully they will fix this.
