I'll be playing... something other than GW. I'm not interested in a 50/50 HoM so I'm not particulatly concerned about cash.

I'll probably spend it in the raptor cave. Ah Rekoff, how we love spending each and every holiday together.

Find a festive dye combination for armor, run around and stare at decorated towns, drop snowmen on unsuspecting strangers, dust off my candy cane bow and then do some quests. Farming is for people that need money or titles.

QFT. Farming is also for people who have endless chunks of time and nothing better to do.

I'll be doing strength of snow on two accounts in between guild doa runs.

Oh and I'll take my chars through the normal wintersday quests because they are fast and fun

I'd recommend snowball dominance for anyone looking to max ebon vanguard title easily while accumulating a good amount of loot. (I'd do it, but all my chars have already finished vanguard :P)

Snowball arena, possibly snowball AT's if I find people up for it. That's the best part of Wintersday!

Last Wintersday, I was still undecided about who would be my GWAMM and was obsessively hoarding all my sweets. This year, I'll be chugging fruitcakes and sugary blue drinks and running from Grentches. Show those little bastards who's boss now.

Pretty much what everyone else is doing. I'll do the new quests(x10) and buy the new costumes. Snowball Dominance for my toons that havent maxed Vanguard(yay EVAS)and maybe some quick runs with my Ranger just for the loot. Strength of Snow for CC shards and a 0.000000002% chance at a mini polar bear. Farm Raptors and Veattirs for even more loot. And inbetween all that a little Snowball Arena, just for fun.

I will be spending a couple weeks NOT getting a MPB again but still believing one will pop out the next time I open the chest.

I hope they don't mess anything up this year and have redux again, once a year is more then enough of NOT getting a MPB.

lol, I know the feeling.

And anyone that plans on farming Snowball Dominance just for loot, a necro hero and ranger(flurry of ice) with pets is the way to go

I just hope they dont change the snowball skills!

I'll probably throw some snowballs in the arena, get gifts for my Guildies.

Not flaming but , i looks like now every thing they add to the game is meatn to be farmed and people seem to enjoy it. No wonder they 're letting PvP rot......

Anyway , only thing i expect is that snowball hasn't the new system that was implemented i ncostume brawl

Same as last year. I'll probably spend a few days trying for a bear and then go back to whatever game I was playing before the event. I don't need the massive amounts of junk or the money, so maybe I'll give it away and hope karma will help me with the mini!

Yeah yeah... it would take less time to farm the ectos required to buy one, but the thought of opening the chest and seeing the gold text is kinda exciting.

Playing the game as I usually do, mixing a bit of farming with regular playing, in zones where I get drops that can be traded for party items as well as dust and wood that I can hoard for the fireworks maker at Canthan New Year.
