I disagree heavily. Lower modifiers work, and I did mention in the notes that all the keyed weapons aren't necessary, they just help. The point is though, even with all that, there's a purpose to the Pumpkin Moon. Drops from the event are some of the best in the game, for one. For me, it's also the only challenging thing left in the game, and it's a blast with friends.

I've gone to running eternal nights for it, now that I've gotten every possible drop for it. Endless wave 15 is utter brutality, but it's just insane enough to be amazing fun (until the sheer number of enemies and projectiles on screen drops my framerate to under 1 fps anyway). Granted, I wouldn't suggest that to anyone with anything less than ultimate equipment.
