No Pumpkins from Ventures?

So, I was thinking maybe today to start the Evil Queen... I have four ready to go so I could run them back to back to get familiar with it by repeating.

Then I find out... wait... no pumpkin refills from ventures?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the ventures are sometimes more involved and time-consuming than a regular "mission" adventure, so why tell me not to play any of this shiny (relatively) new content for three weeks... I don't get it.

Anyway... I hope I'm wrong, but I'll run WC and Thiefs for the whole event for the refills, slip in a Tikki or three for speed.

That's nothing new, is it? Scenarios are going cold turkey too iirc, and Expeditions are probably not worth the time either, if they even drop any.
