i dont think you pople really know this but there not as rare as you thought most do abotu 10 hours to get one, 8 min each run do 100 runs and get one if your unlucky you might have to do 300runs |
10 popes playing GW? What has this world come to?

like 50 000 ppl at least going for it, making average of 50 runs
so 2 500 000 runs, 30 bears closely to 1:100 000 |
THER ISNT 500K POPLE FARMING IT
out of allthe dist that have the wardon in it
74 average all day that measn only 7400 pople famring it
at one time
i dont think 500k pople even play guildwars that care for the mini or to farm it
there alt of pople that dont even have pve toons allthey have is pvp
so 7400*12 runs a hour is 88800 times the chest is being opened and about 4 poepe get them a hour so odds are 1 out of 22000
and that if eveeryo nesfarming the run whichi dont think there is odds stated by anet where 1/1000 or .0001 chance

You should learn to spell and do math before you continue to show how unintelligent you are.
.0001 is 1 in 10,000 - not 1,000
So in defending your flawed math, you used flawed math - LOL

Also, 500k is 500,000 not 50,000.

I hate to harm this discussion, but I believe that The Ranger Eminem's incredibly poor literacy hurts this discussion more than anybody can hope to commit. If you can't be bothered checking your spelling, use a spellchecker program so it can check it for you.

That's taken from 2 posts, you've tried to spell people 6 times, and failed horribly each time! You didn't even make it a 6 character word on any of those tries.
As far as people farming the quest;
I guess at any given time the number is in the thousands, at peak hours tens of thousands. The total number of -accounts- that actually farm (like 10~20 times a day or more) the quest per day might be a 6 digit number, although I do doubt that, but plenty of people don't feel like wasting their time on it.

On topic again... >_< They do drop, but for any one to believe it you'll have to post a screenie with /age and it dropping from the chest, Since you could just post a pic of you getting it from last year and all... good faith rule imposed?

If 50% of the people is doing the quest when the other 50% is taking it, there would be 50.000 people in LA at the same time.
If one district can contain 1000people, you need 50 districts.
So I think there is less than 10.000people farming the quest.

I just got back from a run today and was making my way back to the rift warden then i saw it....a bastard necro casually sitting next to his MINIATURE POLAR BEAR. What really hurt is that he was displaying only the first tier of gwamm. I've been playing this game for ages and never got a single good drop....along comes a noob and what do you know.

In b4 more popes!
Srsly gais.
Anywho! If you haven't heard it enough already, the MBP's do drop from the chest in both quests. If you really have a bunch of free time, you might as well just go and give it a shot. Couldn't hurt...

~110 runs, no luck, maybe in few hours...the only good thing is +150k =[

I quite like continuing with the false hope that when you click that chest you will see those beautiful gold letters pop out!
For those of you who are really lazy, Cupcakes make life so much easier. Enter the quest, scoff a Cupcake and run to the end. You wont need to fight any Grentch unless it uses Icicles. Get to the end in ~1min and afk for 9mins.

Coming up to 80 runs so far and no bear just lots of other goodies and shards lol
it's funny when i go to open the chest i have a finger on print screen ready
and heart racing and the thrill of maybe this time LMAO
But why only 15 seconds to grab stuff what if you hit lag right at the time you do get the bear to drop
omg id scream.
Also remember its not just LA you can get the quest and also the diff dist euro America inter etc.
I use the LA Rift Warden Euro and "most times" there are a lot running to him whether taking that quest i dunno.

I've been running this stupid quest since 8am and it is now midnight and not one single bear. ARGGGG!
And yes I have no life to sit at my comp all day and farm for this impossible MPB. And I'll probably sit here the whole event and not get one. Thats the way my luck is.

Reality, hmm yeah, it could be the polar bear of last year..

Well I know the one dedicated on Guru High End that was supposedly sold in game was a lie. So I am betting its not the only one.

You are likely to see some fake auctions and fake bids in the High-end section to confuse lucky polar bear owners into believing that the value of their pet is dropping. In fact, it is not. Again, one of the ploys by rich and 'smart' power-traders to cash in during the event.
If you have a polar bear, keep it, and wait for the event to end.

Ye, no guesses on the number of drops will be appreciated...
I would really only believe the number of drops that ANET provides or the people that get them provide the proof via ss, etc. because otherwise, mentioning a guestimate of the drop number is just... silly.

I feel that the people that give Christmas in general a bad name are people that obsess over the wrong things.
I look at all the time spent farming for a bear, and I'm planning on using that time to help stuck friends get out of the snow, get them to the grocery store so they have what they need, take in people without electricity, or go shopping to get friends/family presents and then go spend time with them so I can give them to them. To me, *that* is what Christmas is. It's not up to me to dictate what it is for others, though, just like I don't expect people to spend their Christmas like I do. I watched people make posts about how they wasted days farming for this last year for nothing and how awful it was that they didn't get one and how much it ruined their holiday and how mad they were that the drop rate was so low, ect. If that's the case? Turn off the computer and go outside. Sheesh. People who take it that seriously and that are bitter and angry or jealous when someone else gets something they didn't? Sorry but the most fitting drop there might just be a lump of coal, in the Christmas spirit. People farming with a smile on their face, not neglecting their family time to do it, who approach it with a good attitude, who just say "congrats! Now I gotta go get one!" and leave it at that, or the people who are just plain nice people and aren't turning this into a big mess, those people in my estimation deserve something. Karma and all that. I'm glad to hear someone get one without having to farm for days - good for you, Lady Ana! :: hugs :: And good luck to Miss Temptress! :: more hugs :: |
As for the bear, I'll finish the quests for the sake of completion, but I'm not going to obsess over it. If I wanted to waste my time hunting for virtual accessories, I'd join my 12 yr. old cousin in Zwinky-land.

I know of at least one confirmed drop. The drop rate still seems extremely low. There is also talk of bots farming it over and over, this last part I can't confirm.
