Dear ANet, Please extend Wintersday

got owned by ANet instead...

Yeah, and now we're stuck with shards, i've got like 500+.
Miss Persephone
It wasn't the new build that got rid of the collector and other npcs....they just kinda...disappeared. 400+ shards in storage for another year I suppose. I started out really enjoying this event, but what a terrible end to it.
LeoX
Maybe, but i farmed the quest a few times after the build was released. Had to meet a friend in Kodash. They told me there was still snow, so i thought nothing's changed, came back to LA, and wo0t.
Remembrance
Ok, now i'm starting to get bored.... What am I supposed to do with my 3 stacks of candy cane shards, eat them?! Really, you cannot do worse Anet, can you?
Death Heavens
What a total failure.... First we get: there is no bear!!!111
Then: yes, there is bear, go get. And we forgot to mention its as rare as snow on halloween...
Now: woot, there go the trader, quest and your change for a mini bear!!!111
You got served... by Anet...
No wonder I dont play as often anymore...

Can you people not read? The update did not make the NPC's disappear. They left at noon PST, regardless of whether you updated or not.

We should have known from day 1 of the event so we could have farmed it properly and have a greater chance to get it.
Now there is like 2 people with one, while 99.8 percent of the GW population got shafted.
If they were going to make it this rare, at least have the common decency to tell us early.

Dammit, ANet.
Never the right idea.
Let's just give people the poorly-done hats and say we care than actually running this failure of an event the way it was supposed to be run.
Hey, on the bright side:
Barrage now correctly states that it shoots arrows at target foe and 6 foes adjacent to the target foe.
...Nice. *straps on boxing gloves*

I found out about the polar bear minipet literally 15 minutes before they took the rift dudes away, due to hearing 'WTB POLAR BEAR MINI!!!11!!111' repeatedly in district 3.
Checking wiki confirmed to me I had to get my hands on this because it was simply adorable. The fact it is seemingly incredibly rare means nothing to me, the pig is still one of my favourites cos its cute even though most people have about ten per account.
So Alas, disconnecting in the middle of my first 'Straight to the heart' quest and upon eagerly reloading, the rift person has ever so courteously buggered off.
Thanks Anet =/

People complain too much.

Haha, i think this whole mini polar bear thing is just to get players to do winters day again after GW2 comes out. I have a hunch that the polar bear will drop from the chest of wintersday past, since it is all after all part of the wintersday past.

Where's this Wintersday Past chest anyway mate?

People have a right to complain, and people that dont see anything wrong with this fudged up event are just licking the asses of every Anet developer and leading them to believe there isnt anything wrong with their actions.
Also most people only found out about the polar bear yesterday at the earliest. They didnt have enough time to obtain one, even Gaile said before this it was false and there wasnt a mini polar bear.
This event was a disaster.

I'm only annoyed that the gift giver has gone, would be nice to have been able to trade in the last shards seeing as they still drop.

The abrupt removal of npcs = useless candy cane shards, not to mention the polar bear fiasco that I pushed the very limits of human endurance trying to get. >_>

I've never been one that preached that "the end is near," but I feel it is for me. Anet isn't helping with things like this. As someone else mentioned, they dangle something like this new mini under our noses then yank it out. Their customer service is getting worse everyday. IMHO, with service like this, no one will be left to play GW2.
I don't mean to sound so melodramatic. I guess I just don't like the direction I've seen Anet and GW going in lately.

But yeah, that NPC should be there a little longer since there people that are busy, lazy, not as smart, etc.

Nope. This is an extension, disguised as a plee, to get the new minipet, methinks. /notsigned

I understand the wanton desire for the polar bear, but its not like Anet hid the chest. The chest was there from the start of the event.
Yes, it wasnt confirmed till after the finale...but thats not the point.
A good request would be for the existing dungeon chest to drop polar bears at a incredibly tiny ration.

about 27 hours - thats how long people had to get a polar bear. For many it wouldnt matter if you farmed 27 hours straight, you would NEVER be able to get one as the event has been pulled.
but at least I know I tried my best and so cant regret. eh?
And yes the chest was there from the start is not in dispute. But whether the programming code for the Polar bear was there from the start IS highly debatable.

I also object on behalf of every other mature-thinking person participating in this community that "arse licking" goes on. Just like everything in life, there are shades of grey, and we are quite entitled to support a company as a whole that has created a pretty cool game.

Why am I not here saying that I want X and Y from your example list?
Could it be that it was (at some point) or IS POSSIBLE for me to get them?
That If i pushed myself to my gaming limits and beyond , I could get any title, and achievement. Isnt that what gaming is all about?
Where you fail is that you assume I'm being lazy and just want things because I "exist".
And what youre saying would be true if I hadnt almost made myself ILL trying to EARN IT . 20/27 hrs that Anet gave us. You cannot fault me for effort.
If you did everything right to EARN fow armour , and then Anet just took it out a second before you entered fow to get it....not so stupid now is it.
I have a full set of tormented weps , a panda blah blah , fow armour - I know what I have earned and I know how hard I worked for it.
Anet expected ppl to crash farm this thing - I did everything they asked for and more - so yeah , some sense of disappointment and entitlement is there, I wouldnt be human if it wasnt.
But here-
Do you fail that much at comprehension?
