No more Marvel events for me. I will continue to buy selected HC Trades, but there is so much very good stuff out there, not from Marvel, that I will not waste my time with mediocre - even poor crossovers. Generally spoken, I don't even care for the modern incarnations of the characters anymore. Same with DC. what starts as great teasers end in wasted money and time - Mutants no more, Secret Invasion, Siege etc. The reprint program keeps me happy, so what. 
I agree entirely Raro.
I am completely burnt out on crossovers. Blackest Night was the worst offender but Siege left me completely unmoved too.
No more crossovers for me, no matter who does the artwork (the only real reason to contemplate buying them in the first place).
Great artwork is pretty commonplace nowadays and as you stay there are plenty of self-contained, interesting products from other companies and reprints to fill the void left by  dropping most mainstream Marvels and DCs.
