I'm just hoping I can exchange those root and termite leg things for alcohol drinks. I could farm them ahead of time and stock up, but I don't now for sure if the traders will be the same. So I just wait and confirm first. Anyways, I'm hoping for that so I can farm massive amounts of drinks again.

Good to see that the Halloween tradition will stay alive though, I love the festivals
Zodiak
My Ideas:
Hat:
- Random Weapon stuck in head (Arrow, Axe, Sword, etc)
- Large Koss-like tidye Aphros
Others:
- That black body suit idea with a Skeleton print (I liked that idea suggested)
- Gain a /rank like command that flashes an Evil Laughing Skull
- Maxed colored named Bone Weapons
Sword (Armbone with hand and sharp fingers
Hammer (Large leg bone with socket as the hammer head)
Wand (smaller leg bone with foot as wand head)
Staff (Spine)
Shield (Thorasic cage with ribs)
Daggers (sharp hand bones)
Scythe (Larger curved spine)
Axe (Shoulder blade with arm)
Festival End:
Other then Mad King Thorn killing us over and over again
- Rampaging monsters all over town
Dance Party!
Have the Center Square of Each town be converted into a dance floor
http://images.google.com/images?gbv=...ed+dance+floor
- Have the Lich King be the host for the event in Tyria
- Have Shiro, Kanaxai and Urgoz Host the party in Cantha
- Have Abaddon Host the party in Elona
Concert!
Have a large Stage and every 2-3 hours, have a huge show! just like this favorite video of Heeding the Call!

I'm still excited though. Regardless of what extras they decide to put in or not put in am sure I'll like it. For nostalgia's sake if nothing else.
Star Gazer
well maybe anet will throw us a bone and removed the "collector items" from loot scale for the week...that would really impress me.

I look forward to Halloween and Wintersday festivals every year. I think they are a blast and a good fun!
I would like a mini pet instead of a hat this year...I have waaaay too many hats and never the oppurtunity to wear them.
Cool Halloween minis
- Phantom
-Undead pick a profession (ranger, cleric, wizard)
-Graspin ghoul
-just a plain ol ghost or spirit
could give these out like they did the minipigs or by completing ALL Halloween quests.

We need the ultimate item... Koss wigs!
Jetdoc
Long black hooded capes, similar to the Dervish armor. Everyone would absolutely love that look.
Mournblade
ok, ok, ok... I want a Koss wig now. :P
Faction Gambler
It would be nice if Anet allowed us to get missed hats. I missed the very first pumpkin hat.

Halloween-themed Dragon Arena.
You know you want it.
Edit for clarification: I don't mean decorations. I'm talking flaming pumpkins in place of the dragon blast, kotows turning people into imps/goblins/garden gnomes/witchs w/e, and candy/tonic/spiked punch drops from kills. Maybe a chilling laugh sounds effect after a kill (similar to the mod). Things like that.

I just want to know what the collector item will be well before the event...I don't want to spend my time farming trophies when I could be in LA enjoying the festivities instead.
Shadowmoon
Mb include Cantha this year....

They were doing the boardwalk games since before Halloween and Wintersday 2006, and they didn't do the boardwalk games for those years.
But anyway;
I hope for a new hat, though I don't mind a slightly redesigned pumpkin crown. And a (simple) minipet scavenger hunt. Nothing as widespread or as complicated/time consuming/ expensive as the mini moa, but it would be nice if you had to do a little traveling (Very little farming) to get it.

And I wouldn't mind some viable items, kinda like the bison cup but maybe a jack-o-lantern instead. Or, inscribable candy corn weapons or somethin. That'd be awesome, and they'd be the same as collector weapons, so it'd be fair.
But, what would make my month is if they made the Halloween event last all through October, or maybe Oct. 15 - Nov. 15. Although all my progress would halt because of all the time I'd spend in LA

They also need to make the halloween last 1 or 2 weeks long since there's a lot of ppl having midterm exam at that time. Some classes have 30% worth essay/report too, no time for GW ><

Unless of course Anet wants to be nice and move the Mad Kings visits to Thursday or Friday, since a lot of people might be out at parties, trick or treating (you know some of the younger players will be
) or otherwise occupied on that day.

A universal norn bear costume, each piece being max in stats. The way to get it is to farm like 250 of this that or the other per piece.
Have new quests where you wear some old halloween mask and scare people. Or vandalize things, like destroying buildings or whatnot. Or trick or treat quests...
I loved the mini king idea it pwnd!
For the mask why don't we get vampire fangs? It would be awesomenish!

I'd like a tonic to turn into a wraith. Now that would be a proper holloween item 
The Shelf
I want a toilet paper roll bow. It's a special 15-15 bow or something that functions like normal, but it has toilet paper attached to the arrow, so when you shoot it, it leaves a trail of toilet paper behind.

If they did another mini-pet prize (though, I don't think they will, because these events usually replicate the previous one pretty closely), I'd like to maybe see something to stop the easy farming that the mini-pig suffered from (getting 2 or 3 per visit by "zoning"). A character or account limit on such a prize would be a good idea and maybe a little more effort to earn it, but not too much. Encourage participation and not just leeching, as it were.
Holly Herro
A full 5-piece costume which is maxed in stats.
You need to do 5 quests (1 quest for each piece) and it's available in every continent so for the skeleton costume, you do the 5 tyrian quests.
Tyria=Skeleton
Factions=vampire
Elona=Vampire
I'm not sure for EotN since that's an expansion and not a campaign..
