Events are fine if their effects are there to stay but since it is offered only during the weekends, there are usually a huge pool of players drawn towards them away from some of the more demanding missions like Sunjiang and unwaking waters which are virtual ghost towns at times before these events and worse after...

To keep it short: I can only be positive about events. It gives me the feeling anet is going 110% for this product. Halloween and x-mas were great. Had a lot of fun in the double fun weekend. I'm not in the pvp stuff at the moment, but no one forces me to participate in a pvp event.

Nightfall preview weekend was awesome.
Didn't do much of the PvP weekend but it brought out a lot of players, many of whom were usually PvE only players. The exposure certainly can't hurt.
The Elite weekend was fun as there was no problem finding a group. The greater number of players also meant there were more TS/Vent groups for those that don't like disorganized pugs.
I'm really liking this weekend too (Aspenwood/Quarry). I've always wanted to try different builds (outside of my 5 PvE chars) in those missions.

Overall, these weekend events are a nice addition. They bring out more players, which usually means more fun.

Given the fairly short content of Factions, these events are a smart move on Anet's part.
