I'm sorry to hear you had such an awful time of it.
On Sunday's double rep, I had fun. I helped three people win their boss battles (even though I got relatively little double rep, it was still quite fun) and they were so grateful for my help, they followed me around for the remainder of double rep, healing me.
Rather than get upset, or spend a half hour trying to explain what was wrong, I threw my cares to the wind and turned crew matching on. Crew was full 12 people for most of the remainder of the event, with about a dozen people "stealing my rep." It was comical and funny - I really couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity. I didn't have a chance of properly leveling up weapons during the chaos. But I did have full 50% crew bonus most of the time.
In the quieter moments, I'd make comments like "wow, weak attacks only, gives me WAY more rep!" The majority of the crew got the hint and changed tactics as well. There almost always was one, though.
I had a couple relatively quiet moments, where I would get a red-level gypsy to myself. Working as many weapons as I could, I got two weapon levels at the same time (pictured below.) But that was my only level up during the event. Still, 626 rep is a new personal record. After the event was over, I leveled up
FIVE TIMES including notoriety. So the event did help bring me closer.
