We have limited resources, we chose this morostide to focus on an exciting event instead of tossing a bunch of items into existing places. We have a lot of holidays that are exactly that throughout the year, and it's likely how morostide will be next year ;)

You think I'd forget about pets? ;)

(No but really - I've always loved doing a BIG release on the final day of Morostide. MAYBE THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN THIS YEAR)

I just want to point out that we've tried to move away from having 93875376 items for each holiday. We've also been trying to put what we have out in different ways (like Fireside using charity, the floating items, and restockables). We've had TS, BHH, old restockables brought back, Carl giving out old candy (gross), and the usual PP/ToT items. We didn't do more than one wave of items to the PP/ToT because we have the plot going on. I'm pretty sure has posted somewhere that the art team is pretty small right now, so their focuses are more on the plot than doing another wave of items.

oh my god

they aren't really weighted like that. For ToT, it's based off a pool of items each user gives out (based on the # of pets I believe). If you don't get the items from this year, they'll still be given out next year (for both patch and ToT). 2013 items will be possibly thrown into Carl next year (unless we make another quest giver give out those old goodies).
