Mad King says "Loot Is not important"
If you don’t like the loot now, don’t spend your time buffing MF. MF just makes it more likely that you’ll get, on average, better loot. You’d have to actually count drops from 1000s (yes, thousands) of dead foes before you notice the differences.
GW2’s reward structure is different from other games and, in my opinion, much much better. Other games depend on specific loot to keep your character relevant; GW2 caps what you need in terms of strength (although the ratio of stats can change with your build).
Accordingly, we don’t need special drops to outfit our toon; we only need good drops for coin or to look fabulous. So instead of dropping a lot of different sorts of special loot, mobs in GW2 drop tons of stuff, most of which we don’t need and can sell for coin — coin that can be used to buy they stuff we want.
In short, the value in GW2 loot is the quantity, which allows us to choose which quality loot we acquire.

Ok, I showed up, attended the entire session, only goofed once, and received 5 gift bags and a key that resulted in 3 greens 2 blues. The Clocktower rewards a non unique skinned chest (Exotic). Halloween in GW1 was so much better, what am I missing? To be honest, loot in game is really sad. I hope Wintersday is better.
Do I need high mf, and luck before the loot gets better?
The list is short for the things that come out of that chest: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mad_King's_Chest
I’ve gotten a grand total of 2 globs so far. *shrugs
I’ll get that moa one way or another.

It seems like MK happens more often, is this why the rewards are less? In Gw1 it happened every so many hours I think with an overlap of about 5 minutes so you could get to the camp of your choosing. IIRC. Also we received a bag for every correct answer I think.
stuck in the past I know It happens with age.. lol
The event occurs every 2 hours in GW2 each day while Halloween is live.
The event occurs every 3 hours in GW (One) only on October 31st.
So, yes, the event occurs more often in GW2.
