Sorry, but just... Wow.
Some of the reactions here are just so incredibly stupid. It's a MINIPET, not getting it doesn't mean the end of the world or whatever. You can still enjoy your life, and your game, without a polar bear, can't you?
Not EVERYTHING has to be easy to obtain. Just because YOU want it doesn't mean it has to be made easy to get.
Mini polar bear returns - same drop rate

lol, there's a difference between something that needs commitment and a bit of luck to get, and something that is impossible to get
come on, even last year, the quest was over farmed for shards and less than 5 bears dropped... it won't be that different this year
a festival minipet rarer than kanaxai ? I think there's a problem somewhere
if you work hard enough, you should have a significant chance to drop get, not one in a few millions
I really wish miniature greased lightning was not the only one you could get by something else than dumb luck

An extremely low droprate coupled with a pretty brief timeframe to try for it, that pushes it into the 'not bloody likely' category.
Not getting it isn't the end of the world, but not getting it after putting in hundreds of hours, that's frustrating. Of course, people don't have to do this to themselves, but we all know that some will. And setting up people for frustration as part of a holiday event, that doesn't ring very festive to me.
People also don't have to shoot up with heroin and ruin their lives, but we all know that some do. That's why the stuff is illegal.

So if you have extremely low drop rate and anyway you decide to push yourself to try to get it it is your own fault that you get frustrated. Low drop rate is widely known. Anet should not be blamed for peoples own decisions. It is like complaining about low probabilities of lottery winnings. You take your decision to participate and later complain that after 3000 tries still no price? More or less it is the same here. I know the odds for lottery winning are low and I would like to win very much. Because of the low odds I do not waste my time and money. Why here it should be different?
There was a trade off. Or you make something very valuable and thus very very hard to get or you made something easy to get thus reducing its value. Anets decided that the first option is better. I really do not see the reason to complain here.

I think it's kind of stupid how special events = farm for something like crazy. Halloween = farm raptors for ToT Bags! Wintersday = farm quest for Polar Bear! I mean I know people will do what they want to do on these events, but I feel that the intention that Anet had for them (to be something fun and special) has been lost to most. It's now just another chance for profit. The fact that this thing is so rare is stupid. Like someone else said...Mini Polar Bear being rarer than Mini Kanaxai is just messed up, makes no sense, and should have been thought through much better. If they are going to do this again, they should fix (yes....fix) the rate that it drops. I can only see it leading to a few very lucky new millionairs, and many frustrated people that spent the entire time trying to get one, but didn't (though...again...it's their choice if they spend every minute trying for one).
As for me, I won't be bothering. I know better than to spend every minute grinding out a quest hoping for something with impossibly low odds to drop (just like I won't go spend $1000 on lottery tickets hoping to improve my chances of winning). If I wanna grind and farm...well, everything else in GW is based on those two things...I can do it anytime. On Wintersday I will be doing Wintersday stuff >_>
But it does make some sense to compare this to a lottery. Odds of winning (getting the mini) are almost impossibly low, and it is each person's CHOICE to try to "win". In a lottery you can theoretically help your chances (note...by a tiny, tiny amount) by investing in more tickets. But odds are all you will achieve is wasted money. With the polar bear you can theoretically help your chances (note...by a tiny, tiny amount) by investing more time and grinding the quest. But odds are all you will achieve is wasted time.
As for me, I won't be bothering. I know better than to spend every minute grinding out a quest hoping for something with impossibly low odds to drop (just like I won't go spend $1000 on lottery tickets hoping to improve my chances of winning).

GW is no lottery
the miniature polar bear is the rarest mini in game, and it requires nothing but an insane luck to get it... a useless addition for 99.99999% of the community
there's no need to make it easy to get, just give it a droprate that suits the short time we can farm for it
btw, I don't ask this for money, even if one dropped for me tomorrow I wouldn't sell it, just like I didn't sell my greased lightning

The point is there is a need to have some extremely rare items in the game. People with insane amount of money need something to spend it on. Anet is providing it by the means of extremely rare minis. Call it luxury items which by default are not meant to be aquired by everyone. To get them you need to be extremely lucky or very very rich. I think some items like that should exist. At least people gathering stacks of armbraces have a possible goal to spend them on.

there's no "need" for a new uber rare mini, as trades between players aren't a money sink
btw, if there are really players around gathering stacks of armbraces to buy minis, I'm pretty sad for them, but I don't think their interest has to be considered first
anet created a mini, and less than 10 may drop each year, talk about useless work...

FWIW, I agree that there should be rare items. I just think a festival is the wrong place to do it.

I'd wonder what quest I could grind until a ferrari popped out of the chest.
That's not a great comparison, as ferraris don't drop on a select few very lucky peoples' front lawns. xD

If nothing was so hard to obtain - there would be no reason to continue playing outside of having fun. People would stick to repeating PvE, quit or move onto PvP and there would be no need for the evolution (or degradation) of PvE that we see now.
A.net catered to the wishes of the people who longed to feel special in the most economic of all ways - by including massive amounts of grind. But the players (at least the most vocal of us) decided that grinding your way to being the most unique snowflake doesn't make you special - thus completely negating the whole point of adding this insane amount of moronic ideas.
Which we are still left with.
Ate of DK
We don't know it's droprate, not everyone posts on a forum and many people didn't know about it's existence last year. When more people start farming the hell out of that dungeon the number of polar bears will rapidly increase this year.
That's what I think,
Ate.

Since I've been on Guru, I've seen the "wall of fairness" pushed so many times in one direction or another (i.e., in the direction of me, me, me, me, me and more of me) that it's lost part of its sense. Some people are greedy, others are blinded by the "bling bling" of a few virtual pixels. This vanishes into thin air when you remind yourself (if you still can) that GW is a game that you're suppose to play for fun. And if fun means bragging (which it does for some), you may want to rethink your way of life

But ofcourse, that's bad, because you want it and don't want a select few to have it, just because they have more commitment to this game. I don't know, do you call commitment going through that dungeon 20 times, 10 times, 5 times and then getting a bear? I don't think so. It would also remove the "specialness" of this mini, because EVERYONE would have it, and people wouldn't want it anymore.

I"m still surprized no one brought up the skill vs time agruement, nearly every thread brings this up. Personally i wish they would have adjusted the drop rate, it was on the other end of the spectrum as the mini pig.
Currently, the rarest minipet is the polar bear, a very rare drop from a piss easy mission. Then you got to compare it to kanaxai, which was rewards for championships and grand prizes from art contests. Kanaxai should be the rarest minipet, because it required skill to get one, not getting lucky. The polar bear is an event items, so it should be fun, so if people who attempt to get it, should be able to get one, not spend 30 hours doing a mission ove and over agian and gettting nothing.
You can commit yourself to running the dungeon 1000 times, and still would probably not get it. It not commitment issue, it a pure luck issue.

maraxusofk
If you people are being frustrated that you do not have this minipet, guess wut? It is your own fault for allowing something such as a mini get to you. Its a game. If this pet was common, u wouldnt want it anymore. Lets say for example mini gwen was a tournament mini. A whole lot of ppl would want it more than right now. Why? Because alot less people would have it, so more people will want it. If you dont get it even though u farmed for it alot, guess what? Too fking bad. Things that are special are special because they not everyone has them.
the skill vs time argument was in regards to the advantage a player who spent more time grinding would have compared to someone who has spent less time in the game. having that mini will not make u do more dmg, so skill > time still applies.

BTW, I find the concept of "specialness", you talk of, weird and creepy. Most special pets to me are the Kuunavang and the (original) Pig. Seeing several Kuunies in every major outpost doesn't detract from it's cool serene animation and players having so many pigs, they'd delete some for storage space, didn't make them any less cute.
Oh and I don't really want the bear. I wanted it last year, but now it's already too tainted in my mind. I just want ANet to stop pulling #### like this.

Ty now i have your attention - the chest the bear can drop from - where exactly is it as some posts say umbrals grotto ( secret lair dungeon ) but others and wiki states the wintersday chest from the portal wraith quest - The Strength of Snow or Straight to the Heart.
Now if i go by posts on here then a load of ppl are farming secret lair for bear when its not even there .
For the sake of the community and ppls sanity can someone please verify the exact location .

duh
Everybody please stop lying about the drop rate from last year claiming "OMG there was 200 polar bears last year, people just didn't report it to guru noobs" crap. You are all just lying trying to influence the prices. New items in GW, after they get added, get found incrediablly quickly, and appear on guru and the wiki within hours. The fact that the polar bear did not get found for so long (a couple weeks into wintersday, even after 1000s of people had done those quests), and the fact that for a long time only 1 was confirmed to exist via Witchblade (for so long that many people, even Galie, claimed it must be a hoax) is strong evidence to suggest that it really is that rare and only a very small number of them droped.

You guys are sick. There are 2 possibilities:
1.) No new Polar Bears
2.) New Polar Bears
Case 1:
Nobody has a Polar Bear, nobody cares
Case 2 (what actually happened):
Some guys get a Polar Bear and can be happy. Some don't, so why do they care (see Case 1)? You should not complain about the situation as it is, because Case 1 would have been worse.
Your Problem:
You're afraid that someone else might get the bear. Jealousy for virtual items. Please remember: GW is a game.
thx

the problem is not other players getting minipets, the problem is that the droprate is so ridiculously low that this item will only affect 0.000001% of gw community, so, what was the point of creating it ?

Except that I don't hate my mini pigs. I actually enjoy them quite a bit. They're fun. Oh wait, is that because they're worth lots and lots of money? Hardly. Is it because no one else has them? No. Gee... maybe there's some sort of enjoyment for things in the game that do not revolve around virtual gold... nah. That's just crazy talk.
Oh, and for those comparing a Ferrari to the chance of a minipet... you're making a horrid comparison. All else being equal (which it never is in the real world, of course), if you work long enough, you'll be able to afford a Ferrari. There's no such guarantee for a mini polar bear. You could do the Wintersday quest all throughout Wintersday and get no mini polar bear. Someone else could come along and do the quest once and get the mini. If you want to compare a real world reward like a Ferrari to an in game item, at least compare it to something like Obsidian armor. If you farm long enough in game you'll be able to afford Obsidian armor, no "luck" involved (although some luck will reduce the time you need to farm).

Mini pigs are nice thing to bring up.
I mean, they were just perfect - overabundant, sure, but it didn't really bother anyone. Gift you could hand out to people which would bring smile on face of pretty much every person with carebearish tendencies. They didn't enarge anyone e-peen, true, but that should not be point of events.
Then anet "fixed" it and made followup pets much, much rarer and much more e-peen worthy ... or did they?
I guess they learned their lesson and will not risk more than dozen bear drops, because gold minipets and minipet economy is serious business.
I can sooo imagine big "Mini Bear Drops" counter LCD in anet office with some caffeine-boosted dev staring at it and holding his finger on emergency server shutdown button ready to press it should counter be closing to some dangerously high number. Like 10.

This is what infuriates me most about Anet. Not the existence of the pet itself, but the way you get it. They say they want to encourage people to play the game more, lessen grind etc etc. Then come up with this fkn stupid idea.
Witchblade seems very nice, dedicated player and all that. But equally some total knob who had the game for 5 mins and just spammed all chat with 'how rubbish GW is and WoW is much better' could have got that lucky drop.
Plus now wintersday won't be a fun event with people chatting in town, taking prezzies to kids and helping with quests etc. People won't want to waste a second of their farming time.
GG anet. Surely it can't be that hard, to come up with ways to actually reward people, for teaming up with real players and playing the game. Instead of this constant supply of 'the latest cool item' which just encourages more farming grind/builds and discourages new players.

So, how exactly does this relate to the rarity of these mini-bears? Because I don't see it. Are you suggesting that people pay ANet significant amounts of money to receive rare minipets? Because that's the only way your fabulous Ferrari anology would work.
