There was twice a second person hired for the merch booth. One of them landed a full time job and couldn't do it, and the other person got sick at the last minute. It took me 8 straight hours of pulling all the merch variations and getting all the stock counted out, not to mention all the effort at getting the gig exclusive stuff printed/flown in/etc. Didn't get home until 6AM cause load out was also a bitch. A lot of effort went into it, so that's the best we could do on the merch end. 
Of course, the performances are up to the guys. I found GosT to be about the same this year personally, no better nor worse but I thought he was great last year and same this. For me this year was not only about performances but also crowd. People were there early, ready to go, no hesitation, last year was a bit more "eh let's see what these guys can do," as I think everyone came for Perturbator year one, and now everyone came for all 4. Plus, few to zero production glitches or backstage production snafus to worry about.
