Dynamic events. As in it starts out as a normal fight or something, and then all of a sudden, **** gets real. Example? Caldari Prime.
Picture this: You just finished a skirmish on the planet's surface, and you're gathering with your scattered squad mates. You start to gather your wits, when all of a sudden, a bright flash happens in the sky. "What in the **** was that?" You say. Nobody in your squad knows, and then one says, "Well, there is a big ass fight going on in space right now between the Federation Navy and the State Navy. That's why we're here in the first place; to secure the surface. Maybe a lot of ships just blew up." You start to have a bad feeling, and goes contact a contact fighting up there, when over your TACNET, alert in big red letters pops up. then, every mercenary on the planet, including you and your squad hears this message: "Mercenaries, the Titan, Shiigeru has exploded, and is heading on a collision course with the planet-" a map of the affected areas are shown, in which the squad can only barely escape within the time before touchdown, which is displayed along with the map. "You have until the clock hits 0 to move out of the zone of impact, or take shelter, or be terminated. Good luck." Frantically, the mercs hop in their LAV's and speeders, and drives as fast as they can to the closest edge of the impact zone. debris and fireballs rain down, yet they push on, and just as it hits, they barely escape, with all their assets intact. Some however are not so lucky.
That's what we need out of a event, and badass rewards (as in not the same **** over and over) would help make the Legion events feel even better.
Just to give you a visual picture of this, watch this (skip to 2:13)
Peace, Godin

Imagine: You start a battle. Nice, clear blue skies. Then.... BOOM! You see clouds on the horizon (amazing) ! And midway through the battle, the sky is now overcast, and guess what? It freaking RAINS (cool) ! Thunder and lightning... and RAIN. Fog builds up towards the end, obscuring your view (scary) !
Turn weather into an event, and reward participants with amazing weather badges that you staple to your face. Because weather is cool.
weather could be in any situation.
Also, **** gamemodes (unless it's an arena). They make no since (waging wars and nuking Hisec planets, which has high populations).

Sort of like Burn Jita in EVE. It's literally GoonSwarm making their own content in the game, also Red vs Blue war going on in low sec. It's just a massive brawl with one rule: No podding (destroying peoples pods).
However for this to work in Legion, there would need to be LOTS of sand in the box.
Those would happen regardless. And yet, there is still events in EVE.
