Yes, but not the items that was new last year. So who know.

I think a fair balance would be to have 2 years worth of items available on the event each year, the new stuff and last year's. When it goes into 3rd year, then it can go onto mogstation.

That way they can also alternate years between new costumes, and other items like minions and mounts, but still have a variety available at each year's event.

Alas, the items available off the vendor in the summer event was not last year's rewards. Last year's rewards were only on the Mogstation. The ones available in-game were the rewards from 2013 and earlier.

Is that broom confirmed to be a mount we can keep? Not this year, but last year's moon fire Faire had mounts that you could use during the events only.

But those mounts weren't added as items to the game, were they? o.o If it's listed as an item, it means it's something that can be in your inventory ^^; Otherwise it'd just be the same as an NPC.
Plus, google tells me it's listed as a quest reward. So...^^;

But of course this is mere speculation, since there's no official information as of yet 0=)

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening for Halloween or any other seasonal event. I'm fairly sure that the main reason it happened with the summer event is because of the shear number of equips that were available. It probably wouldn't sit well with them to have to deliver bundles of bikini/swimwear goods as a set or charge each piece of however many for $5. That's a bit ridiculous in cost and value, given the value is basically the exact same equip with a different color to it.

I absolutely loved the broom mount in WoW. Then they went ahead and made it have a limited time duration on it. *****es. Can only hope for a permanent one here.

*cough* Yet those items are now up on the Mogstation. (Edit: Priced at €3.50 per swimwear set, which I'm guessing would be $5 per set. €2.10 per yukata, €2.10 per drawers or knickers.)
If you ask me, though, it was the first event after Heavensward, and I'm guessing that had something to do with their decision to let the older gear stay one more time.

Was that the first WoW mount with limited time duration on it? Or was there any other precedence to it? Do mounts in WoW have different stats/speeds?
As long as it's given to us as a mount (which I deem to be a fairly reasonable assumption), it should follow the same rules as all other flight-worthy mounts. Because unless there's something really special with it, like being a faster mount or something, there's no reason to have a timer on it. It'd just be one more flying mount ^^;
