I have to agree with Krissim and EarthYing.
The drop rate for trinkets feels extremely low. I've done a ton of alchemy and only gotten 2 trunks and I haven't seen any random events. I worry that there's not enough currency granted from the quests to cover even a full set of the new items which would be really frustrating. Not to mention the quests don't always give the same amount of trinkets which is also a pain. I love seeing all the new items but they should be obtainable, especially for newbies.

It'll be neat to see the 'community created item' once its done.
Maybe next year to actually make it feel more like a celebration we can see whats been implemented that year, or like what accomplishments have been made, who won contests, etc. It'd be nice to have a sort of review of the year.
