Event contests are an easy way to earn more event currency. Did you enter all of the contests?

To be honest, I helped in the pricing of the event items, but I was operating under the assumption that currency would have a 100% drop rate and was aiming for the casual user to be able to earn 1.5 to 2 sets without contest help. Because of the 50% drop rate, it ended up that a casual poster would either have to earn currency from contests or post a little more than usual in order to obtain a full set. There's nothing wrong with some event's items being a little rarer than others, and I know that many users ended up with extra currency/items. The items might not hit the market immediately, but I'm sure there will be some sold at some point. Masquerade items from last year were fairly rare during their respective event as well, but now see regular sale in the marketplace.
