Of course, with all the useless junk I got from them, I could probably buy myself several golds.

Can't believe people are giving Rats away, next year there'll be a trader trading 5 Celestial Rats for 1 Flesh rat just to punish you for your idiotic kindness

Congrats on finally getting one! I have opened 350+ and still no rat. Doesn't look like I will get one as all my characters have done the quest. But meh, no biggie.
Lord Xeshm
400+ and none, I stopped trying.
Starsky-sama
5 rats from 200 fortunes (i opened in diff stack amounts) but probably used around 600+/-.
had 2 the 1st day. a dry spell then:
3 came out today. I was pretty surprised.
/g'day.

Konig Des Todes
I got 4 total rats from 'bout 200 fortunes, sadly, I'm a lot luckier then to many people...
Rothaga
3 from about 300 fortunes, one of my friends got 2 from his first 50 fortunes, but none from his next 50, so on average 1 in 100.
Awakener
800 fortunes. No Rat..
My guildie is giving me one because they got 3.

Does ANet actually think that this is fun?

Awesome, well I hope your luck improves.
I am now at over 400 fortunes and no little guy. I did stop to vanquish 2 areas though, and I seemed to have been getting an unsual amount of golds. I got around 6 from Old Ascalon, more then I normally get. A nice consolation but still no rat. >.>

over 400 fortunes and no ratbastard. but i bought one for 20k so thank Shinare thats over.
FXCW
Used about 200 and no rat, pretty lame.
Lord Feathers
350 plus lunar fortunes for one rat
RSGashapon
Around 350-400 fortunes opened, five rats received.
Thank you One Eyed Will~ er, ArenaNet, thank you... You've made my day.
Shiing!
Believe what you like, but I got the rat from my first fortune.

I was a bit disappointed when the first 500 Fortunes from the primary account failed to produce one, pretty miffed when the next 300 from easily accessible characters on the secondary account didn't do the trick either. After another 150 wasted fortunes from anything that could beat the path to Shing Jea during the festival time and still no luck it was getting personal 
and I had to start rolling new characters, getting them to lv5 then doing the quest (the Knights of Nian was pretty hard with just henches since they were bosses). Anyway, Lunar Fortune #1065 finally yielded a rat.
No, I didn't try to get a second one

I got one after an obscene amount of lunar fortunes.
This is not good.
I have 11 characters, 1 rat. Thanks anet.

In the end I went through abuot 350 fortunes, and apart from that first rat at 250-ish I got TWO MORE in the LAST TEN FORTUNES. Well, what can I say - chance works in mysterious ways, but I think ANets random number generator is a bit sticky.
Mangione
<---- ~500 fortunes. No rat.
well, I guess bad luck happens.

Over 300 fortunes, no rat. Would like to say I got a nice boost to the party animal track, but all I seemed to get were blessings. *sigh*
My luck sucks with drops.

Shadowmere
Just finished building up fortunes, 368 in total. And after a carpal tunnel inducing amount of double clicking I ended up 8k richer, about 200 fireworks heavier and with 3 celestial rats to my name. I'm quite pleased
tmakinen
Assuming that the drop rate for a rat was 0.33% here's a table that shows how lucky you are if you got at least 1 rat from
10 fortunes: luckiest 3.25% of population
50 fortunes: luckiest 15.2% of population
100 fortunes: luckiest 28.1% of population
250 fortunes: luckiest 56.2% of population
500 fortunes: luckiest 80.8% of population
1000 fortunes: luckiest 96.3% of population
1500 fortunes: luckiest 99.3% of population
2000 fortunes: luckiest 99.9% of population
Thus, unlucky people like me and Manitoba who had to open over 1000 fortunes to get a rat are only moderately unlucky, since there are 3 or 4 of us per every 100 players. If you managed to open 2000 fortunes without getting a rat then you're the least lucky person out of a random group of 1000 people, and if you managed to open over 4000 fortunes without a rat then you're the least lucky person in the entire game!
People who say that it's unfair that one player gets 10 rats out of 50 tickets and another none from 500 and thus ANet's RNG is glitched just fail to grasp that this is exactly what randomness is all about. Although I happened to be on the blunt end of the distribution, I feel that much more attached to my little rat now that I really had to work for it

I got a rat from like my 5th fortune. I gave it to my Boy-Toy. When he got one from his 10th fortune or so he gave it to me.
They are really common so it seems. Kinda like the mini pig last year.
I like my celestial piggy better xD

775 fortunes, no rat. Borrowed one from a guildie who got several, to put in my HoM. Ugly critter, I don't want one to keep anyway. Should've been a Jahai rat.

Thanks for trying but that's alright. The guy probably just would of been put up in my HoM and then given to my storage. But thanks again for trying.

I think the extra lack of rats makes up for the excess gain of pigs last year. I spent about 180 fortunes to get a Rat but got a Pig from 5 mini's from last year. I think they got the balance right this year.

Well, over 350 opened and no rats. Finally bought one for 35K. After that, another 70 or so fortunes.
Still none.
But, I have one dedicated now, so can't complain too much.
