Bonus Question: Will there be more World Events or player participation events that decide the outcome of a story?
I'll let other devs step in on the previous two questions, but I thought I'd put my oar in here.
My answer being: honestly, I'm not sure.
In many ways the World Events didn't go down too well when it came to their results affecting the outcome of the core game story. Many people didn't like that other people's choices impacted what they felt was a very personal story.
However, world events themselves are certainly big moments that have built together the collective story of the community. Most people remember them and still hold their faction choices as important. So there is some value there.
I think if we were to do another one, we'd have to divorce it from the individual story, but allow it to affect the wider world of RuneScape. Perhaps change the landscape and what we interact with, rather than drive any of the questlines.
I certainly, personally, wouldn't be a fan of having the existence of a god determined by a world event again.
Note: These are my personal opinions and are not necessarily the opinion of Jagex as a whole and so shouldn't be taken as any indicator of whether we will/won't do world events again.

I'm going to share the sentiment that I wasn't a particular fan of other people's choices impacting my story. I was perfectly okay with how WE1 went down, but killing gods to me is a big no-no. The Bandos/Tuska community may have been minute, but I think they still should have a say in how their personal story goes.
I loved the worlds events, and I share your opinion on their outcomes.
P.S.: Still a proud Bandos supporter in WE2
