My Top 5 of Events that have gone/would like from that list are.
1.Access to Elite Missions
2.Gamer Weekend
3.Snowball Arena
4.Double Xp
5.Keys
What events i would like to see are:
Perhaps everytime the Luxons or Kurzicks win in the other's final area for AB, they get a reward like the ones on HoH. It would be hard to win their as the home team would have such an advantage.
Another idea is to have a double blessings weekend, even allowing those with Max titles to have a go at them.
I apologise if i have repeated anyone's idea.

Events to Add:
Have more drops of alcohol/sweets from mobs.
For each mission you successfully Master have an NPC that will challenge you to Rock/Paper/Scissors or something. If you win, 1,000 Lucky points, if you lose, 100 Unlucky Points. (This would be repeatable for each mission).
1# Free Access to Fow and UW
2# Double Fame
3# Double Gladiator
4# Double Faction in Alliance Battles
5# Gamer Weekend
I like the idea of free access to FoW and UW, as i have not been there much and want some free experience there before having to lay out gold on a thing i will probably suck at
Double anything in arena is nice, as it helps those difficult titles along
with regard to the gamer weekend i think getting to do everything is cool, variety is good, so you pick and choose what you want to do then
The main reason i like these is that it encourages me to enter into areas i dont play much in, im a PVE mainly, but enjoy gaining the titles and playing PVP sporadically, gaining more on the titles usually means i devote most of the day to playing there instead of my charcters progressing in PVE, i also see the benefit of gaining balth points here as it unlocks the skills and allows my heroes to use more variety.
Drop weekends however have been meaningless to me, as i never see much of an upturn in them when i play, as im not a farmer yet that may be the reason.
I think the rock paper scissors idea from Dougal is fantastic, certainly a good idea for increasing the elusive lucky/unlucky title, without spending a fortune on tickets

Keys
Dyes
Rare Chest Loot
Special Item Drops (shamrock ales / four leaf clovers)
Rare (gold) drops
Those are my five selections, not in any order of importance.
I like the weekend events, however I don't get to play as much as I'd like to on the weekend. I was thinking that there could be mini events in the evening during the week. Might be difficult with timezones cause evening on the West Coast of North America is very early in the morning in Europe, but perhaps it could be region specific.

1. Double XP for Elite Skill Cap
2. Double Balthazar
3. Increased Rare (gold) Drop
4. Key Drop
5. Elite Mission/Area Access
How about a social events weekend -- say it's free to invite guests to your guild for special events/socializing. But you'd have to give us more than a day or two heads up for this so that we could plan the party

I personally think that each weekend should have a PvE and PvP component. Such as double fame and double green drops, that way neither the Pve'rs or Pvp'rs will complain about Anet playing favorites.
And here's my PvE and PvP list
PvE
1:Special drops. (preferably harder to get than just killing any enemy)
2:Gamer weekend (With new maps for rollerbeetle races).
3:2x Promotion points for Lightbringer and Sunspear.
4:2x Green drops.
5:2x Golds from chests drops.
PvP
1:2x Fame.
2:Improved drops from HoH chest.
3:2x faction From ABs.
4:2x faction from arenas.
5:2x glad points or half req for getting 1 point.

I've really enjoyed the following weekend events. I know, I know, you said five. But I cant just ignore FoW, and UW access.
Since I bought Factions shortly after the gamer weekend ended, I missed it. I really wanted to see the Factions end of the games; not just Roller Beetle Racing. But don't get me weong, Roller Beetle Racing was a lot fo fun; I just wished I could have had access to the other games.
A future idea for a event would include week Long events. Sometimes weekends just go too fast. Plus i'm sure some of us here have work, and school work to do over the weekend. So weeknights can sometimes allow some more time. 
Well, there you have it. My opinions on the matter. And i'm stickin' to em!
- Special Item Drops
- Double XP
- Extra Gold, and Unique Drops
- Gamer Weekend (access to the gaming platforms.)
- Free FoW/UW Access

1. Double Fame
2. The Fissure of Woe and The Underworld
3. Rare (gold) drops (All areas!)
4. Rare Chest Loot (All Areas!)
5. Keys (All Areas!)
6. Double Faction in Arenas (Though it encourages more leaving then there already is)
7. Double GvG Faction
8. Dyes
Events which "I" don't like:
XP Scrolls
Double XP
XP scroll duration
Because most of these are useful only to people who are trying to get Legendary Survivor, which i stopped trying after my 500K XP Mesmer got owned by a Dervish boss in 2-3 hits.
