Dear ANet, Please extend Wintersday
okashii
you can make money in game with todays economy :/
I managed to get 100K+80ecto for a Mini Oni <as present> in about 10 days of farming with no powertrading and no UW farming
Im not braging about it just saying it is possible to make money in GW with todays market <but I guess its a bit offtopic>
the most important thing atm is how much time do we have to get a mini polar bear with the way it can be done <chest>

Wintersday will probably be extended. I kind of expect Anet to do this to compensate for the lag during the events. Would be pretty shitty of them to remove Wintersday today or atleast before the weekend comes. At the least...you have the rest of this week to go for that bear. *sigh*

Lol, it's nothing but good.

I would love to get this mini and not because of its rarity i could care less if every wammo in the game got one. Make it fun to aquire, just like the Moa Quest. I and loads of other people want the mini for what it is not for what its worth. And if people want a new mini to collect make ugly minis such as kanaxai, oni, etc uber rare.

I don't care about the bear, it's cute and I wouldn't mind one but I have too many minis already, farming some more eggnogs will be useful if the events going to be around for a bit longer.
I can't help remembering the mini pig hilarity. A few appeared as drops during the run up to Canthan New Year finale, people were going nuts over them and then it rained mini pigs at the last moment... I think i have about 8 scattered around my characters.
Not that the bear will, but hey gratz to those who got one.
Oho.. did they just nerf (cough) fix (cough) the Strength of Snow farm?

Rift wardens + shard traders are gone, good job I traded in all my shards when the update notice came up.
I died in my last run too, got out and no more warden.

I feel bad for anyone with shards and stuff.
WTF Anet o_O;

Rift Wardens and other Wintersday NPC's were gone before I restarted for the update. Alas.
Jongo River
I just finished a Strength run, that I'd had to leave for 30 minutes and there was no rift warden or candy cane collector when I returned to Kamadan. Finished then? Blast. Lame end, to a half-azzed event.
See you all next year... in some other game.

Well fear not if the rift wardens are gone....still highly likely that "wintersday past chest" will drop the bear. I ran the Strength of Snow like 20 or more times last nite, got tons of other non-polar bear stuff, so was worth it. (and perfectly fine that it isnt there for me to obsess about tonite again)

Nothing like a little bit of warning.... I still have 400+ candy cane shards which I could have traded in if I'd known the collectors were about to disappear. Didn't the collectors hang around for a week after the quests finished last year, or am I just thinking of the dragon festival or something? And whats the point of keeping the decorations up anymore?
Leslie
Bah, only got the build because people said npc's were still up. Then they randomly take them all out, not with the build? I got owned by Anet.

The new build didnt remove the wintersday traders and rift warden, it would have happenend even if you didnt update.
I wonder how bad I would feel if I hadnt cashed in my 500+ CCS O.o

Oh well, guess that's the end of my CC farming.

ugh terrible timing on the shard trader removal and who the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO cares about hats... n1 anet
bhavv
They at least need to put the gift giver collector back in for some extra time to give people a chance to cash their shards in. But hey, Anet is mega fail atm arent they?
Steboy93
Oh well it's all over now, I wonder how many people ended up with a polar bear? And what kind of mad prices they will be up for in high end soon...
I really dislike the sudden end of the event, like many others i got stuck with a load of cc shards, oh well, a crappy end to what was imo the worst wintersday yet.

lmao, i'll just keep my 100's of shards in storage for another year then?

Knew i shouldn't have downloaded new build ffs.
DoomFrost
Spent all day yesterday trying to get the bear (5-10 hours worth), no luck though, I did however get a lot of alcohol, sweets, and candy canes from all the questing I did. Just wish I could turn in the 200 shards in my storage.
