To call the OP a karen apparently.

Such a necessary necro post. . .
But since we're here
This is such a disingenuous take but I'm not surprised it's gotten so many likes.
It's Halloween.
Halloween is held October 31 in Japan just as it is in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Samhain is held on Oct. 31 - Nov. 1. Day of the Dead ranges typically Oct 31. to Nov. 2
I guess it's nice that it's coming at all this year though as Deceptus has said it could have taken the place of the Dragon Quest rerun. They could have even just reran a prior All Saints' Wake so we'd at least have the atmosphere during this dead time before the expansion. When the event actually happens in late November everyone will be busy with Endwalker and...it'll be late November which as everyone knows isn't Halloween :v)
I dunno, I worked at Target for 16 years and I can say for certain that Black Friday is far more terrifying than Halloween.
At this point it just seems like laziness. It’s no surprise shb has seen less content output compared to past expansions, and before anyone says anything, it was like this before covid, so let’s not use that as an excuse. Like other people have mentioned, we could’ve gotten the halloween event in place of the dragon quest one which was already run this expansion. Seems like this company just can never be held accountable for their bad actions…
I told the HR guy I'd never work it again unless I could wear chainmail and carry an axe. He thought I was joking, until the following day, he found me in the break room working on my chainmail. As in, real stainless steel rings, woven dense enough to stop a 9mm bullet. And yes, that was tested (I had a friend in the Navy, he hung it on a tree and shot it; broke a single ring and didn't even scratch the tree). Never had to work opening on Black Friday again.
