Event Suggestions and Improvements

Considering most of the (DW) playerbase didn't seem to enjoy the event, everyone QQs and give very little feedback... I can't help but wonder how people would have made the event, or improved it.
For example...
We all know these events are insane lag-fests. Most computers aren't as powerful, and many people probably couldn't even attend the event due to lag. I was thinking about bringing my cleric for support, but forget about that, my own laptop can barely handle West Arch. Now, with the ton of people there, I don't think I could even have loaded 1k Streams earlier. My own client crashed adding someone to my squad, lol.
Solution: Make these events instanced. 200 people per instance or so, able to enter via teleporters/Khatru pups/assistants/and so on. TW-like instances, really, just more instances. Lag is at least reduced.
For the drops, the game mechanics work that the squad who does the most damage gets the drops / credit. While I understand the concept, and admittedly it's a nice one, it works on a small-ish scale - and not on a server-wide event.
Solution: Well, with instanced events at about 200 people each, the matter would be smaller. Just make the drops shared within all the people present in the instance.
As for exp loss, a TW-like instance would prevent exp loss - though we all agree it's PVP. At most make it so that such instances are prevented from drop loss if auto-PK.
Willing to hear more suggestions regarding this. Hell, it's what I'm posting for.
Note to Mods/GMs: Possible to keep this up in Suggestions, and not sucked up with another event-related thread? After all, these are suggestions, and AFAIK they were gladly welcomed after the event ended in DW.
