Believe me, Draxx is doing everythign he can to get you guys items - I've seen them on Debug and take it from me, you're gonna love them and they'll be the envy of all of Graal Kingdoms (If that's even saying much, but, meh, to each his own I guess)
And why don't Kingdom Leaders give out event items anymore?
Because you do even begin to realize how much absolute hell we have to go through just to get the staff to cooperate? Bjorn doesn't do it hardly at all, and Sam is never around to bug him for the items. And plus, they make the decision on whether YOUR Kingdom event is worthy enough for THAT KINGDOMS items.
It's really all staff's fault, when you look at it in-depth
