I agree with Liable.
Mostly on the motivation thing.
The fact that you have to compete in order to get a reward is a complete turn-off.
If you could get rewards for simply reaching certain goals, regardless of how many other people reach them (like the Pink Bean event), then more people would be willing to try.
I also don't like the idea of "having" to spend most of my maple time away from my server, my alliance, and my buddies, who may or may not come to the event server and we may or may not be able to find each other there.
In general, though, I prefer permanent content to events (although a recurring event is not as bad as a one-time thing, in terms of wasted development time), and I'd rather see existing content fixed or updated to become relevant, than something new to be developed and then probably left in some semi-functional state forever (still waiting to see what happens with Blackgate, for example).
