The following is a list of events that are in perpetual preparation or inactive status in the API. Can these events be looked into to see if they are bugged or not? Also, is it possible for you to please tell us what the conditions are to push these events out of preparation or inactive state and into active? Can’t they be tweaked to show up more often?
O_o? I never hear/read about those. And I thought Caledon just had 2 events with problems (though I just know the events listed on the wiki and I finish all the last time I explored that map a few days ago).
As someone who love to do EVERYTHING, this is disheartening.
Also, how you know those event exist? Did you see them before they got bugged or you have another source?
I mean, wiki is highly incomplete and although some are listed as bugged or unknown, many are missing.

Almost all the events I listed above I have seen or played; either during beta or since game’s release. There are a few events I have never seen, including a couple of the ones you listed. These events are listed on the wiki, however, but under “historical content.” This means the event had been seen at some point and an event page was created for it on the wiki, but it hasn’t been seen in so long that somebody believes that the event no longer exists and so took it off of the main page. I, however, believe the events have not been taken out of the game, but are either bugged or have some unknown triggers to cause them to start. That’s why I’ve asked this question about these events. I play the game like you do: doing EVERYTHING. So it is important to me to know about all the events in the game.
It was told to me today by a content designer on another forum post that many of the above listed events are triggered when there are more players present. Since these starting areas are much less frequented now than at game’s release, that would explain why these events haven’t been seen in so long.

That’s a very stupid system. No matter how popular a game is, PvE zones would end totally empty very soon after releasing the game.
I really hope someone on Anet is willing to change that (as well as fixing the bugged ones). Someone took the time to make those events and people like myself would be happy to complete every single of them.
The event list obtained from the API is reset when the server is restarted. The fact that they appear in the list at all confirms that they are running in the current build. It’s possible that some of them do get stuck and won’t run again, but it doesn’t seem like there was any research effort put into verifying this for each DE listed. Did you look on the wiki for advice on how to trigger these events?
Also, when I bought the game back on October, this one along with the rogue bull, the one with the roadblock and the bandits in the windmill was very frequents, however the meta-event “The Battle for Beetletun” was bugged, then Anet fix it and the rest stop working so i wonder if they made a mistake on the code and screw those events?

I went ahead and added it to the list above.
