My gripe is, it is meant to scale off players correct? Then why is it, nobody, not even the most populated servers can beat any of the locations for the event? It is tuned far too high, not enough time is given and City of Um event is far too spread out. And on top of that, not that I have enough H'Oddments to warrant anything, but the shop is also not available.
Thought and execution on this one are pretty poor. Why release an untested, unfinished product?
EDIT: I find it ridiculously hilarious that anyone would have thought that 35000 H'Oddments (the top buyable prize in that store according to post) is remotely achievable from a once in a while pumpkin spawn that may or MAY NOT give you 5 H'Oddments at a time for a two week event? I imagine most people are gonna be hard pressed to achieve buying some of the cheapest items on the list.
The level of buffoonery in that thought process has got me rolling.
Do you realize the top prize can be won directly from smashing a pumpkin, without a single H'Oddments?
I have obtained all the cheapest items on the pumpkin reward list in a day already. No need to buy them.
Because of the event, "Pete's pumpkin patch" in Fort Forinthry blocks any communication with NPC Bianca during "Murder on the Border". This makes it impossible to complete the quest. This quest is necessary in a long story chain of quests, including tasks for the Hero Pass. This greatly hinders the progress of Hero Pass and other aspects of the game. I can't complete five special missions of Hero Pass due to the inability to complete quest "Murder on the Border":
* Complete Dead and Buried.
* Complete Raptor Slayer Assigments.
* Complete Combat Activity.
* Ungael Combat Activity.
* Build the Botanist's Workbench.
I created a bug report and also described the problem in this thread, but no feedback at all.
Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Jagex has confirmed on Reddit threads that they are aware of this problem and have created a workaround. There is a moderator response on the link below that says, "Bianca has been moved to a new spot in the fort during the quest so this should be resolved now. Let me know if you run into other troubles!"

Over 250 Pumpkins Smashed and 1000 Keys, Upgraded Pumpkin and Overhead Emotes only..
After 17 years of this game, I think I am done.
"Every pumpkin smashed will now provide 25 H'oddments, alongside any other rewards stashed within. This should help Regular and Irons pick up some items from the H'oddments store."
Let's say you smashed 250 pumpkins in 2 days or 125 in one day, you will be getting 125 x 25 = 3,125 H'oddment per day going forward just from smashing pumpkins.
Let's say you play another 20 days in this year's Halloween events, you will get 3,125 x 20 = 62500 H'oddments just from smashing pumpkins.
62.5k H'oddments are more than enough to buy 1 of the top prize Ability Override from the H'Oddment store for 35k H'oddments. It should not be hard to get 7k more H'oddments to buy the 2 Ability Overrides, even without TH, and don't forget members get 2 TH keys free, Premier Club members get 3, and we can buy 10 TH keys from the Oddments Stores every day.
Removing the oddment reward and replacing it with H'oddments feels alot better, i had a stockpile of 40k+ Oddments with no use for them anyway, i think that's pretty common among ironmen.
Glad the feedback was taken into account, now it's actually achievable during this event, rather than in two years from now, and now it feels like there's actually a point to participating in this event.
Grateful for the hotfix, thank you for the rebalancing! Havn't had any luck with drops just yet despite being 700+ Pumpkins in, but now i can at least reasonably assume i can still get at least one of the big rewards if i keep grinding

That's all well and good if all you do is play RuneScape every waking moment of every day.
Some of us actually have lives. Some of us.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Totally wrong, as I spent 5 minutes doing the Smashing Pumpkin Party event every hour for a few times a day. A total of like 30 minutes actual play time per day got me close to 100 pumpkins or 2.5k H'Oddments already.
Make no mistakes, we are not talking about spending 16 hours a day for two months for a competition or just a chance to win an exclusive prizes in RS3. There is no competition, and no exclusive prizes for grinding long hours in this causal event.
