I am thinking about it more and this is such a dumb event. All the people who are doing orvr are getting no bonus...so they're doing...Khaine's Embrace? As a premade? And making my life miserable..awesome.
I think i'll hit renown 40 and just switch to orvr all the time XD
Imma keep farming Khaine's Embrace. obviously, it's popping (because it's the only one giving the bonus), don't get me wrong, but imma complain and make it clear that I don't like it. And I'm not going to sit there and get farmed nonstop.

Create a premade and fight back!
This is the obvious answer to everything, of course. Oh wait we have a pug sc in rotation that premades cannot join for a reason so now we're back to the question..
The answer would be "queue pug SC", when you don't want to encounter premades. Not many people think like that, as most queue for all SC and don't bother whether they encounter a premade. Some even hope to have a premade on their side. The XP/rp bonus on certain SC is not there to catch up your rr, in case you grinded XP to r40, they are there to give you a reason to form groups in order to progress faster with higher win rate.

Shouldn't be punished because I can't be bothered to group, I'm a healbot idgaf.
that's the problem with your point of view. You're not being punished, you're just not being rewarded.

You can't even get a Gates of Ekrund right now just fyi, or I couldn't. Which makes sense, why would anyone play that map when there's 50% bonus to be had? We're forced into this undesirable situation. I'm fortunate, or unfortunate, depending on your point of view, to be able to play 20 hrs a day if I want, I can force my head through the brick wall and farm it out, other people are not that privileged.

Other people don't create such a drama out of nothing. Other SC pop as well, chances are obviously higher for event SC.
All bonus are only good, if you can win SC. So forming groups is rewarded, not playing solo

Yes I get it screw casuals and solo players. There's over 600 people on the server certainly not hurting for people to play.

you're forced to play premade for easy win not good fights,
look at the current state of solo ranked, less than barely played
the friendly-pug sc should have permanent bonus

for most people winning = fun. And they only have so many easy wins because there are so many people out there, who expect a epic fight with their 5 BW's 3 SW's 2 Engi 1 Tank 1 Heal Combo and queue solo.

Had some excellent games in da Khaineplace fing last night with my premade consisting of da following in mixed gear/rr setup.
2/3 bork
1 choppa
1 dps shaman
1 ranged squig herder
Just gotta find ya pals and jump in. We didn't win all of them but had alot of interesting fights and games that were unpredictable.
Seriously cannot emphasise playing with other gits ya know.
