I like the holiday stuff. It keeps me playing! I've been off beating up status quo-violators in Champions Online, but still do HH runs with my girlfriend every night. I wouldn't be surprised (and wouldn't mind) if there was always some kind of limited-time achievement-focused event going on. It would be eeeevil of Blizzard to lock the OCD crowd in like that, but still fun.
The HH hasn't been too forthcoming this year. We stopped bothering swapping in my druid team after the warlock summons were burned, because I don't play my druids too well and wipes are not unusual ... but we've still got six summons a day, and so far no mount. I'll be sad for the girl if we don't get one at all. The luck of the drop on a limited-time boss like this seems really unforgiving, and could be a bad MMO mechanic that hasn't become obvious yet. If you run, say, the Raven Lord regularly, night after night, you will *eventually* have a Raven Lord. The drop rate is horrible but you'll definitely, absolutely get one. If you run HH night after night, you may not be so lucky -- once the event is over for the year, you have to face the fact that your dilligent effort will remain unrewarded. And this is with six summons a night.
