It's counterproposal to @hokath's (6-43) suggestion.
Proposal: Disable all specific events before the game in the configuring menu (Good..., Neutral..., Bad..., Civ-Specific... Trade..., Events) and leave the Event System on. Steps that must be done:
Rationale: It is used for various modmods (f.e. my Unique City-States) allowing it to introduce new mechanics. Disabling it by default will make many players to ask, why certain features do not work. Enabling Event System by default changes nothing in VP gameplay, but makes the modmodder's life easier. After this change, the player behaviour will be as follows:
I agree with many arguments @hokath provided against the events. I am the player who disables them by default before each game. Read his rationale to get better view. My suggestion is only small modification to his proposal.
Proposal: Disable all specific events before the game in the configuring menu (Good..., Neutral..., Bad..., Civ-Specific... Trade..., Events) and leave the Event System on. Steps that must be done:
- Invert the logic of checkboxes enabling/disabling certain events, so they now enable events when they are on (currently they say "no good events", thus disable them when checkbox is on);
- Add a tip in loading screen saying that player may enable certain events before the game, and that they are disabled by default;
- Leave main checkbox "Enable Event System" on;
- Leave rest of the checkboxes related to events unchecked;

Enabling Event System by default changes nothing in VP gameplay, but makes the modmodder's life easier. After this change, the player behaviour will be as follows:
- if players want to play with all events, they should check missing checkboxes.
- if players don't want to play with events, they should just do nothing.
