From a business perspective there are a lot of good reasons to go ahead and associate your event with an actual holiday. On a personal note I'm way more excited about a Halloween event than a Friendship day or Idlebounty day, even if the event was the exact same, it's a psychological thing.
You have to remember that IOU is a business. Since there are reasons to base events off real holidays and there are few if any reasons not to, besides for the random one in a thousand people that gets upset about Christmas, I'm pretty sure it's going to be based off of real holidays. Considering in the past many of the events have been based off of things such as Easter I'd say it's a safe bet it will continue.
Well of course people are looking forward to the Halloween event, as am I. I never did say to not base them off of holidays, I'm just saying certain ones (like Friendship Day or Idlebounty day)....because not everyone knows/cares about them.
What was the Clean Energy Event based off of? (If it was based off of a major holiday, I'd like to know which one) I thought that was a great event, as was the most recent event (Alien Invasion)...which also wasn't based off of a holiday.
Doesn't matter what event, as long as it doesn't suck. I doubt a many people will care either way.
Edit: Also, many are just looking forward to those event packs :|
