GW2's may be dynamic, but it's known the same events will occur at the same places, right? It's like if pirates attack a town once, they'll just do it again. Maybe centaurs can attack that town too, but it will be like 1/3 starting events that then spiral into a number of other events, depending on involvement. So while dynamic, they are still limited because of, well, it's not like there's a large RNG factor involved. But even with that, it's still a great idea and factor. Though if they claim 1500 events, that's pretty cool. Doubt anyone will see them all, unless there's an achievement for it ;P
I think the limited scripts is just a small barrier, but that being said, you might not visit a place an number of times unless you're thinking the events will possibly be new. However, I did remember seeing something like as you 'level', events might change, as well as more events added with patches? I'm not too sure on this though, can anyone shed light here?
