I can see a use for this. The only problem that comes to mind is the cpu overhead involved. Imagine an even triggered on 500 mobs in a zone every time someone enters it! Even if the mob doesn't do anything or have this event_zoneenter defined, the server will still have to try to trigger it.

To make it work, you would have to limit the scope. Either have a flag on a mob that says it gets this event triggered, thus allowing the rest to be ignored, or have a specific mob with a special name being the only one to have this event (it could then set things in motion by using signal and quest globals).
