So the drop rate is excruciatingly low, but it's gotta drop for someone right? Right ^^

If I get it, it's going to my gf as an Xmas pressy Hopefully she'll sell it and lend me some ectos

I hope the bots do well. There's no player skill difference running through and AFK'ing than botting this really.

the more people do it, the more chance of more bears we will have, and the slightly lower the price will be for us not filthy rich individuals... so farm on!!!!

and if you have 2 accounts, play both at once to do the quest.

there have only been 2 confirmed drops... i can pretty much guarantee that any MPB you see for sale in a town is a fake, unless it is one of those people from confirmed drops. people are gonna be selling fake MPB's every day. no ss means no MPB

Now tell us...wtf would be the point of that?
How can you sell something you don't have? If they're just looking for attention...ok but once someone opens trade they're SOL.

So unless they come on here and post on guru, they're lying? Not everyone doing that quest posts on guru, you know.

They try to manipulate its price by saying everyone and his mom got one.

Why would they use the same drop they did last year for the rare treat? Wouldn't that alter the "rare" factor considerably?

its been about 48 hours after the quest started....lets say that one 2 ppl who had guru account got one,than there are ppl who didnt post their drops on guru,and there are ppl who dont give a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO to post it anywhere and will keep them for themselfs atm.Ive seen few in game,from some sources ive heard that their guildies got some drop,and yes,all the time some noobs are spamming some fake polar bears just dunno why,stupid kids....Anyway,so after 48 hours there are at least 20 of them in game,but prolly more for sure.After 2 weeks with more ppl farming it....hm,how many of them will be in game?Drop rate is small,yes....but current price of around 2500e for unded one is sick for something that isnt worth that much,so yes...price will drop,and that fast

The price of an unded Ghostly Hero is what, 1250e? maybe 1400e?
The drop rate of ghostly is higher than a polar bear, and those drop all year round, yet only double the price
Now let's say you estimate of 20 is correct, with the 5 (?) from last year, that makes 25, but let's say 35 to have some space.
That means there are still 100 (!!!) more mini panda's in game, also 100 more Island Guardians. Look at the prices of those, 4500e for an unded IG, 5000e++ for a panda?
Yes, there will be more polar bear drops the coming days, but still, compared to other mini's of such rarity it's cheap...
Of course it's really ridiculous such items cost that much in the first place, but that's a different story

Yes, some guru-ites tend to think the GW community revolves around them. What they say goes. If it isn't seen on these boards, it didn't happen.

The posts here seem to suggest that only the one quest is being run (the snowman one). Is this correct? When I complete one, I have to do the other side (Dwayna/Grenth) before I repeat. Is there some trick I'm missing or are people in reality doing both?

Switch districts and the quest is available from Rift Warden again.

You see, when you hover your mouse over the link you can see the destination address. Anyway I think GWG is gonna give you up.

ANet confirmed that it would drop, people have gotten them, and the drop rate is extremely low.

There's nothing else to discuss.
