I would like it if this was added to the game,
at least one other person would like it if this was added to the game (
or at least they mentioned a similar feature on their suggestion thread) and (correct me if I'm wrong about this) it seems like it would be incredibly easy to add. It seems to me that it would take only a minute or two to add, would make some people happy, and everyone else wouldn't care. Is there any reason for this
not to be added?
The reason why I didn't like the suggestion I linked to above (or rather the part about summoning events) was because it didn't seem to fit with the game to have an NPC do something like that- no NPCs currently in the game do anything like that.
The reason why I didn't just post this on the thread I linked to above (although I considered it) was because I got the impression that the thread was discussing blood moons and solar eclipses, with the part about pumpkin moons/frost moon added in almost as an afterthought. I thought that if I wanted to share my ideas on how that could be accomplished (since I by that point had the impression that wasting no time when starting events was something many people would want) it would be best if I just started my own thread.
However, if you disagree on that, I could always have this thread locked and post my idea there, instead- although I guess there's not much point now that I've already made this thread.
TL;DR: The reason it should be added is that some people would like it, and I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't be added. So far nobody as come up with one, other than simply pointing out that there isn't much reason either way- and I just gave a reason why it should be added.
Hopefully that answers everyone's questions.
