2015 halloween event

[Noxifer]

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.

*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.

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.

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 ^^;
