READ THE THREAD! We have mods and many other people CONFIRMING IT IS REAL! It's even being sold on guru auctions! Zeek Aran 18:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If this is real it makes gaile look a bit stupid. Lord of all tyria 18:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Gaile makes Gaile look a bit stupid. She's made mistakes before. The pet doesn't have to be added with her permission. Zeek Aran 18:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * We can't delete, it will recreate by a noob. Plus, we've got other hoax items on the wiki. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  18:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Srsly, the evidence weighs in favour of it being real right now. Lord of all tyria 18:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ONE person "has" it. No one else. That's a hoax if I ever saw one. Besides, putting it up AFTER THE EVENT IS OVER? putting it in, then removing how to get it? come on now... [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  18:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v291/zeek_aran/GW/Polar%20Bear/ I'll remove those pics from my photobucket as soon as Entrea believes me. Zeek Aran 18:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm talking to someone who says they have it, trying to get trade confirm/deny RT | Talk  18:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Read this. Gaile said its fake. Strange... [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  18:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The link was posted on the first page of the thread. None of us believed it until we saw it. Zeek Aran 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops for assuming that was the link to the Gaile Talk page. Zeek Aran 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, that pic with the panda in it too has be uncertain. Still, I'm leaving the hoax tag until it is confirmed. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Gaile: "...know nothing of a planned mini of a polar bear," That doesn't confirm it's fake. Zeek Aran 18:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OFc teh person who has it stopped talking to me after I said I needed noe for guildwiki for licencing reasons. <font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  18:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * THEN STOP FAILING AND FUCK OFF TYVM -- Bug [[Image:Brown_stink_bug_adult_copy.png|19px||My Talk]] 19:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I bet this is hoax, otherwise there would be more confirmed pets

Serious Point
If we look at Bladed Aatxe for example, which also has a mini replication, there's no page devoted to the mini. Should the same be done to the Polar Bear Article? ---Jamster--- 18:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It had to be proven first. Zeek Aran 19:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It couln't be proven in the polar bear article itself..? [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 19:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * She could just be trying to get you off her back, admittedly. I wouldn't like you stalking me. [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 19:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Because it's a hoax, we shouldn't add the data to the Polar Bear page. If it were real, then yes, but it's not. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  19:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

So a whole thread of people saying they saw it ingame isn't good enough for you? Zeek Aran 19:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Just some screens aint gonna convince me. The Terro Shield also had some screens, also of Trades. Meh --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 19:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

So, they got a bunch of friends to post. Whatever, i'll believe it when I see it. <font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  19:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * So everyone who posted there is a friend? Including mods? Wow. That's just sad. I'm not even going to bother with this anymore. Zeek Aran 19:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking your a friend if you're getting so upset over this. Btw, instead of deleting, I think that we should keep this here- Somone is bound to find out about it, and search wiki for it. If anyone does, its better for them to see this is a fake. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 19:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

One last thing before I stop F5ing this page. In the thread, a mod, and others, none of which who have the lowest title for postcount, have said they've seen it ingame, along with several screenshots posted. Bye. Zeek Aran 19:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * So to get over all the fuss - if the owner of this bear shows it to RT then we're done. Right? More hard proof you can't get. --[[Image:Progr.jpg]] -- talkpage 19:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * one of the people whose names are on the screenshot is set to do not disturb. three are offline. one is ignoring anything that talks to him/her. Makes you think its fake, to be honest. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 20:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It's thesame as the freakin terror shield. Noone who supposedly has one responds, and there are screenshots of it in game and of a trade. TexMod+Photosoup imo --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 20:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Now i wanna see a lil fella apoligizing on guru Dont forget my free blowjob and cookies ^^ Witchblade 20:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * And neither get your dick up --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 20:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Just personal opinion but i think its a fake. If you examine them closely the polar bear is identical to the panda bear but without the black.  Plus why wont this person who has the Polar Bear not agree to showing it to anyone? and Gaile Gray said she did not know about this.  It seems strange to me.  Once again its just my view on it but it doesnt seem right to me. --X lorien X 21:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Gaile already confirmed it. your point is moot.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 21:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * How do we know thats not Gaile Gray saying that? JK :P i Stand corrected at the time it seemed like a fake i guess not. --X lorien X 21:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I now accept the fact that it's a real item. If Gaile says it is, you were all right. Sorry for being skeptical, it's in my nature.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  00:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Let's look at the facts shall we? 1. Only Witchblade on GW Guru has ever shown any screen shots of this item, and in fact seems to have started it. All other screen shots on both wikis are copies of Witchblade's. 2. Several people buying, but NO ONE is selling, not even for a stack of ectos. If this existed even in low numbers, there would be some greedy player selling, somewhere. Even contest winners can be seen selling rare minis from time to time, usually right after they get their code. 3. There are claims of people farming for 5-7 hours straight with no results. For a holiday item, that is extremely suspect. 4. It has its own wiki page. No other mini has its own wiki page. New minis just get added to the Miniature page. I, for one, do not believe this hoax, regardless of any screen shots of Gaile posts claiming it was secretly activated by some GW programmer. This just screams BOGUS!
 * Having a wiki page doesn't prove or dispprove anything. We have pages for minis that don't have full sized counterparts. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 09:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Fact is, Ursula the White is the model used for this ^^ --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 09:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I beleve Gaile Grey's post. so there <font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  09:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I must admit, I am one of the people who spent hours farming this Damn bear... 11 hours to be exact, and all i got was 6 stacks of cc shards... my life blows--Schlumpy 11:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Intimidation
there is still only 1 confirmed pet right? is it possible that some could be intimidated by this. everyone is saying a hoax, strong feelings have been put here so if saying "I got 1!" could be pressuring since being labeled a liar or a cheater/hacker or whatever isnt very comforting.

Items
What happens if you get 5 mini polar bear drops?because it says u get 5 of the following items from wintersday chest.lol,and btw how much are mini poalr bears worth???68.3.17.26 19:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you get 5 polar bear drops, go play the lottery, because thats about a one in a billion chance. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  00:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

drop rate?
farmed the quest over 20 times still no luck, any1 got one yet? (Omfg rank ten guy 19:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC))


 * I believe Witchblade wasnt the only one some other screenshots on guru prove it if they're not fake o.0 --X lorien X 21:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * According to Galie on that guru thread linked to on the page, the mini was added at the start of wintersday. It took until the VERY LAST DAY of the festival for somebody to post about it on guru and here.  Even if 5 or 6 droped to newbie players that didn't know it was a new item, if Galie is to be believed then the drop rate seems to be astronomically low. - TK Hawkins
