I like that they have holidays in the game like this. In my religion (Wiccan) this is one of our major holidays and its nice to see people that actually recognize it. Yes people other holdays exist in the world other than Christian and Greeting card company holidays.

they should hold a farming event, on an isolated island.. then all farmers would go there, lured by the 5x drop rate, and then BAM! A giant meteor would crush the entire island, giving them permanent death (and a ban too!)

Christ on a crucifix. It's amazing how people are getting worked up over something like this. The reason they're throwing it in is because there's so much time between the valentine's day content and the halloween content that they want to get something else in there. It's a fun little diversion that typically lasts a week or more, so you drop in and check it out for fun.
