I have only been able to participate in one or two events since the start of GW. I travel on most holidays and am usually out and about with friends on weekends.
I'd really like to see some events extended or held at non-traditional times for those of us who can't always be around during these times.

- Gamer Weekend: There was lots to do and it was fun. These are the kind of PVP things I enjoy. I'm not really into the normal PVP
- Snowball Arena: Just a fun little game
- Shamrock Ale and clover's: It was small, but still fun. I like this over normal rare items as these feel more special. Had so much fun using the clovers while cartographing the southern shiverpeaks
- Rare Chest loot: Always a good one for people going for the wisdom titles
- Double XP for elite skills: It's a nice incentive to finish off the elite skill list
Most of the others I don't really make use of.

Top five:
1) Double/Triple green weekends (this is the most fun always for me, especially in Elona)
2) Free access to FoW/UW
3) Free access to Elite missions
4) Double faction in Competitive missions
5) Double faction in Alliance Battles
Can I mention the keyless chests here? They are the best kind of event you guys give us. Just help us with the formula already!

* Double XP
* Shing Jea Boardwalk

Furthermore I love the celebration events. It's always so exciting with all those people at the same time going for a hat ot something like that.

If I had to pick a top 3:
1. Gamer weekend: Boardwalk, rollerbeetle, and such.
2. Double Item Drop
and
3.
I second Swampgirl Inez idea. Players either have weekends where they are free all the time while others have some weekends free now or depending on their work, friends, and other real life schedules do not have weekends free. Extending days allowed for such events will help those who may have real life conflicts to our desired gaming time.

i've enjoyed every weekend event tbh 
but the top 5 would have to be:
- open access to elite missions (uw/fow/the deep/urgoz)
- shing jea boardwalk/gamer weekend
- special item drops
- double chance of rare item from chest/drops
- double chance of green drops
should have an easter event where candy drops from monsters

My favorite top 5 so far:
1. Key drops. It is like playing the lottery, but not having to pay for the tickets.
2. Access to FoW and UW.
3. Access to Elite areas.
4. Gamer Weekend.
5. Special item drops.
Some Ideas that I would like to see implemented, How about:
1. Double party size weekend. instead of being limited to 8 party members you can have 16 and so on.
2. Double elite weekend. You can equip 2 elites this weekend.

First my general likes and dislikes.
I dislike events that just make a certain aspect of play more rewarding than it usually is. They turn the game on its side too much. I'm pretty annoyed at these sometimes, because all I hear is: "I don't wanna do that right now, I wanna farm such and such this weekend because it's a double thingy event."
On the flipside, I enjoy most events that add/unlock something. Doing something completely different for a weekend, something you can't do at all most of the time, is pretty fun. Much more fun than half the people I know in-game obsessively trying to cash in on the double stuff every minute they're online.
Having said that, doubling or adding something that affects the totality of the game is fine too, like double key drops or the recent four-leave-clovers and shamrock ales. Anything that doesn't provoke marathon sessions of (monster X) farming has my blessing.
Here's my top 5 out of the ones listed, in no particular order.

I really like the following weekends:
1. The 8v8 HA weekend.
2. The Day the Blantantly Broken Skills finally got balanced weekend
3. The Prophecies Skills and Professions only weekend (oh, I don't think this one actually happened - would be awesome though)

Access to:
That's in order of preference.
I don't think the first one *should* be a weekend event -- access to PvE areas like UW and FoW should require Pve (not PvP) achievments, period. Otherwise, I think access to HA should be controlled by somethign people do in PvE, just to be fair.

Easy for me too.
1) Rare Chest Drops
2) Gamer Weekend
3) UW&FoW Access
4) Double Key Drops
5) Double Rare drops, but not in Elite mission, only as whole..everywhere.
But that rare chest drop thing is really important to me as I'm trying to get wisdom title and being able to pull off 200 rare drops in a weekend really helps for 600g a bite. So more of those please.
Gamer weekend was awesome with the dragon arena, it's great fun so I'd like to see that back more often.
Same with UW and FoW, which I'm looking forward too.
I think we should also open up one weekend and double rare drops in NF/Cantha and Tyria.
Also maybe having a weekend where chests can drop special items..maybe new skins or old rare skins. Yeah that'd drive the price down on some things, but I think it'd be fun regardless.
But chests dropping double rares are more important than anything IMO.
One more thing I just thought of, triple or quadruple gold drops from monsters. Double wouldn't cut it. Level 24s dropping up to 600g for one weekend or something and bosses over 1k. That'd make it easier on us that want titles and easier on new players that want armor. For one weekend I don't think anything too bad would happen from it.

Double Chance of Drops:
Those were my favorite events.
The mini games are awesome too, but I like cool weapon skins and there are many I can't really get because of low chance even after trying 50, maybe 100+ times.

1st Gamer Weekend (access to Shing Jea Boardwalk, Dragon Arena, Rollerbeetle Racing)
2nd Snowball Arena
3rd The Fissure of Woe and The Underworld
4th Elite Missions
5th PvP Character Access to Competitive Missions
Idea:
"Elite Skill Arena" Weekend, PvP but only allowed to use Elite skills, yes 8 Elite skills on skill bar. All non-elite skill in this Arena are disable by default, except unique skill like Charm Animal and Ressurect Signet.

Today is approximately the one year anniversary of the Factions PvE beta weekend, so how about?
Form teams of 12 in alliance battles weekend?
A lot of people loved that we were able to do this during the Factions PvE beta weekend, and while it was justifiably scrapped into the (4v4 times three) system, there's no reason why a special weekend cant recapture the magic and fun that we had during the beta... It would be a new unique mode of play that peple would genuinly get excited about.
As for weekends I've enjoyed? I would rank them:
(1) Unique Content (such as "real 12v 12" suggestion above)
(2) Unique drops
(2) Acess to "locked" content
(3) Faster accumulation of titles (drunk, chest, id, rank, gladiator)
As for weekends I've shrugged at:
(1) Green weapons
(2) Balthazaar Faction
(3) Hero armor weekend
(4) Farming (Double drops) weekends

Elite Missions

Like least:
Double hero and armor remnant drop (a weekend to simply have a weekend)
Double fame and double gladiator points have always bummed me out. I know they're supposed to be a "bonus" to the pile I've built up, but it always gets me thinking I should wait for these events to play those areas - that I could have had twice as many points in my gauge that I have now.

Idea: How about a "monsters invade towns" weekend, where specific towns would be invaded by all sorts of monsters and everyone in town battles against them. This could be done like every hour or half hour. Drops from monsters could be stuff like we get during festivals like Ales and such.
Orphan Anthem
yeah AB was acually FUN with 12v12 its just not as it is
Bryant Again
For me, it's going to be, in descending order:
5. Double XP
4. Dye Drops
3. Hero Armor drops
2. Elite Missions access
1. Fissure and Underworld access.
Lovin' the weekends, keep them coming!
Holy hell that would be awesome. It could be announced over all channels which town was being attacked, and players could come over and help push back the threat. AWESOME idea, it's gotten me as phsyced as GW2, even though the town-invasion is just an idea.

Top 5 in order:
1) Rare Chest Loot - This makes chest runs so much better. This way you at least can make back close to what you spent on keys. (DoA didnt count - then again you fixed chests there anyway)
2) Double Faction in Arenas - Whats not great about earning more Balth to unlock things for PvP
3) Double Gladiator Points - Even though it brought more newbs (not in a bad way) to RA at least it was fun and more crowded.
4) Snowball Arena - Snowball arena is great for earning points towards the Skils title. Rollerbeetle and Dragon Arena just don't compare in the amount of point given.
5) Gamer Weekend (access to Shing Jea Boardwalk, Dragon Arena, Rollerbeetle Racing) - Lucky/Unlucky title progress...need i say more?

1. Elite access (Urgoz, Deep, FoW, UW)
2. Special Item Drops
3. Rare chest loot
4. Keys
5. Unique (green) drops
Ideas:
-make the events week-long
-more special item drops: basically a limitless concept. You could always introduce new types of alcohol and 'lucky' items.
-collectors for trophies that don't currently have collectors (e.g. Mursaat Tokens; various TOPK, UW and FoW trophies). They could offer special items in conjunction with a Special Item Drops event.
