Could we please have the option to opt out of such patches?
[...]
It's a choice. It's easily implemented.
This is neither simple nor possible.
Patches for events are not just cosmetic. They can include new graphics, new items or objects, or even corrective patches that are applied at the same time.
In short, we don't really want to make the patching system more complex to handle special cases, but rather to make it as simple as possible so that we can spend more time on content than on setting up content.
