Guild Wars 2

I was part of an pvp event guild in GW1 and I know the event is not over yet but I feel like key points that made the GW1 events fun are missing in this Halloween event. I vote you take everything from the GW1 event and just plop it in ontop of what we have now.

-Collectable merchants (charr carving traders and such)
-Old Costume Brawl
-Event items dropping off of all mobs not just event ones (not sure if this is the case but I sure haven’t seen anything drop off of normal mobs).
-I am rather upset at the whole temporary weapon thing. I can get over that but it feels rather anti-GW to me.
-More Information about whats going on when you first log in. Perhaps a costume brawl npc to explain it?
-Tone down the mystic forge crafting in the future. I would have much rather seen more actual crafting recipes that actually made me want to craft, the bonuses from the food are so minimal and lack luster that it takes the novelty right out of having them (make them as useful as pumpkin cookies from GW1 are).

(Please for the love of god bring back dragon arenas when the time comes)

Edit: Why isn’t there a style merchant like there was in GW1? I would have alot more incentive to purchase styles if I had a place to pick them up on all characters I make.
