The gifts have been unwrapped. The cheese logs have been consumed, the Greench's plans foiled, the eyes shot out. The Winter Veil holiday is drawing to a close today -- you have only a few short hours to get everything you wanted to accomplish done. (If you don't want to miss anything, you should probably check out
The Overachiever's Guide to Winter Veil 2011.)
That said, those of us here at WoW Insider want to know: Were you able to achieve all your in-game goals for the Winter Veil holiday? Did you get all the achievements you hoped for? Was
Greatfather Winter kind to you? Did you make a fortune selling
Small Eggs? Or did you just say "bah, humbug" to the entire holiday?

Nope! All I wanted were the pets. I didn't play in 2007 so there were two for me to get. I did the daily every day and I never saw a either of them. Oh well, onward to Love is In the Air, were I can fail to get a Toxic Wasteling again this year.

RNG was mean to me and my main didn't get the pets so no I didn't accomplish my goal.
Croe Jan 2nd 2012 2:19PM
You're a mean one, Mr. RNG.
RothKeahi Jan 2nd 2012 8:12AM
Nope. All I wanted for Winter Veil was a coal elemental, and I got bupkiss!

Eh, I felt like this Winter Veil was kinda lack luster compared to the others. Maybe it was because I was just looking forward to the new year, more interested in the patch, or the fact that I got a GOD DAMN UGLY SWEATER (which, if anyone is interested, it should be cold washed, and gently tumbled dry), it just felt lack luster compared to the awesome revamp of say Hallow's End.
I'll be honest saying that Winter's Veil is probably the number one holiday I hope Blizz revamps next.

See, I thought this winter veil was pretty cool. Then again, I think they all are pretty cool. I did the greench every day with at least 2 toons. Sometimes more. I didn't hit my goal and get the 3-4 toons I wanted to get the title on. I got the 2 snowflakes I needed to get my rogue his drake. I still have my hunter to work on for his drake for lunar fest. So, I think I underachieved, but I had fun doing it. Cannot wait for lunar fest. Oh yeah and there is the faire this week!

Bah Humbug all the way dude.

No. Lumpy still eludes me, which was my only objective this year.
*rants about RNG during Holiday events*

Same here. I did the daily every day on 3 different toons and not a single one of them got the coal or the dagger.
twbrienn Jan 2nd 2012 2:06PM
Did the daily every day on 4 roons, got lumpy on an alt and a coupe of daggers. All I wanted was that loveable lump of coal on my rogue but nope.
Louie Wilson Jan 2nd 2012 2:07PM
Same here. 18 turn-ins and no lump of coal for me. Guess I gotta be badder this year to get it.
Nick Jan 2nd 2012 8:25AM
no lumpy. Which sucks.
Kuro Jan 2nd 2012 8:29AM
Lessee:
1) Got a Lumpy on main. (Hurray!)
2) Got an Ugly Sweater on every toon.
3) Got an Ugly Sweater singing acheesement on main.
4) Got the Crashing and Thrashing Acheesement on main that I forgot to get last year.
5) Got SW:TOR and forgot about 2 alt raids cuz I was engrossed in the story / cursing the bugs and interface.
Blayze Jan 2nd 2012 8:29AM
Next year, I'm sitting all of my characters in Ironforge and doing that daily until I get the damn pet.
SamLowry Jan 2nd 2012 10:00AM
Did that, but was hoping to get the dagger. Did the Greench daily every day for nearly a week on 9 alts and didn't get a single one.
Got two Lumpy's, though. Would rather have had the dagger.
Aevi Jan 2nd 2012 8:30AM
Curse you, Lumpy!!!
My husband got Lumpy twice, both times on a alt (the same alt both times).
He also got the dagger and he won't give it to me!! I guess I have to find a DS run to get my epic rogue daggers..... sigh.
Eyhk Jan 2nd 2012 10:30PM
If you can afford the rogue legendary quest line first stage daggers (10,000g) I'm sure you can afford the rock bottom prices of the tree dagger on AH! Buy them now while the prices are super low cause they will only go up after the holidays.
neder Jan 2nd 2012 8:35AM
I can say so. Was a bit slacky and got the final achieve just yesterday-the gnome mage was so slippery :D
Moomoo Jan 2nd 2012 8:42AM
No Lumpy, and I did it every day on multiple alts. I guess I can hope that it becomes BoU the way Spring Rabbit and Sinister Squashling have. Bah humbug indeed!
Dawts Jan 2nd 2012 8:37AM
I got lumpy, the 2007 clockwork bot and associated feat of strength. I can't complain!
