The event is finished as of today.
I got my mask, a while ago.

They really should have made the pumpkin drops NO-Trade to prevent this. They should have known greed would set in and people would farm the crap out of this.
I was of the same mind set, as this particular item DID take me a while to acquire all the pieces for, and the prices that they were selling for, pretty much locked everyone who couldn't farm them themselves out of the quest. This was unfortunate, but sadly, it was the case.
Then something dawned on me:
I cannot bake.
Now, I understand that one of the pieces is trivial, IIRC, at 42 baking skill. Being an avid fletcher, I know that 42 probably wouldn't take all that long to get to.
But, if SoE had made these things no drop, then people like me, with no experience in baking, would NOT have been able to give the parts to a guildie, to receive the treats.
MY 2cp:
Yes, these probably should have been made No Drop, but with a
no fail combine. Seeing that there was a trivial for baking, I'm willing to bet the developers, (because EQ is an interactive game) wanted some interaction between the players who couldn't bake vs. those that could.
Just a thought...
