All I see removing the carnival for lengths of time doing is causing people to hoard the items, then jack the price up the rest of the year. *shrug*
Alchemical silver quarter staff (or spear, gods forbid) for 20k instead of 800, for example.
Not to mention the ioun rings. :P
Carnival Gone?

The former should really be available in mundane stores anyway. The latter, cool, but not essential. I often end up using different rings instead, since +1 to ability isn't all that awesome always. To me they're good, but not great items.
I actually think there should be more limited edition items here and there, change the item pools a little here and there, and let the limited edition marketing of it be a sign for people to grab their gold and go sink it to things that aren't always accessible. It did a really good job at that in the earlier varieties of carnivals, which is why I think that instead of having less of those... we probably should have more, but give fair opportunities, and with recurring so that people get second chances, even if it doesn't happen all the time.
