As we can believe anet, it drops in eotn. For sure.
Now the question is where.
My best guess besides drakkar lake djins would be ice imps. Probably not even locked chests, rather themselves. In hardmode should be tried.
Why ice imps? The glacial blade could be a hommage to the icy dragon sword that only drops from.... yes! ice imps in prophecies. It is fitting, a hommage.

What about the glacial griffon? Could it be that the blade can only drop from the glacial griffon HM? I'm wondering as it is the only (?) boss with "glacial" in its name, plus it fits the whole norn region theory

I farmed glacial griffon for 1hr with favor and got 0 gold drops in hardmode
small sample size, but i hope its not dropped from here xD
Man, I just feel sorry for all the people who lost something today. You are the first of us to have a game mechanic, drop table, or items stats change.
Good news, you’ll always have your mini. And a story… looks like you got something after all.
Already happened years ago with vizu, oni, naga and zhed minis
I'd be shocked if any of the players with the minis on the accounts don't have thousands of armbraces anyway.
Well, i have earned some limited minis the legit way back then, which i am still holding to this day, i don't have much armbraces or ectos or even plats besides those minis...
Really appreciating the middle finger from Devs, but not surprised because they did it before and they did it again in the first year of GW2. Recycling is the only thing they can do well i guess.
Lesson to be learned: don't store value in items in GW 1 & 2 because nothing has real value, except the money they can extract from you, that's why limited pets you paid with real money like Kuuna and Varesh are not on the list lol
If you've had them from "way back" then you clearly had no interest in selling them.
So apart from perceived value, you haven't lost anything, you still have the minis.
I suppose the main effect is players like myself who aren't super rich but had the goal of farming to get one of the minis.
I want an island guardian as its my favourite mini, rarity doesn't matter to me. It's something I'd never be able to afford at current rates so I'm happy to be getting one.
Unfortunately legit players are losing a lot of money but I dont think many people who own them have gotten them through legit means, whether RMT or botting or hacking/asking support for accounts.
