~occasional players come out of MWO hibernation to play erratically,
~a number of good players also come out, try to complete some of the Events within the first few days
Hence what you see...
(At least we don't have any LRM-fest, because there was "no" missile damage done accolade to work on...)

Sure thing!
The best when not only the MM is drunk, unconscious, or (brain)dead but many of the players in the match...

people behave differently when there is an event. i guess they are trying to shorten the grind but end up making it worse for themselves and everyone else involved. if people would just play normally everyone would finish the event faster.
the other phenomena is events bring out the more irregular players who will only do the high value events and play other games most of the time.
you also get farming but thats a product of people playing less than their best.

Yeah its that bad right now and its bad across all tiers.
edit: case in point I kept getting two king crabs in my matches that would either walk entirely around the map doing nothing or yolo in and die with little to no damage. We reported them over and over but they kept showing up.

Most matches were high damage and a few low damage ones where win or lose psr would still go up - like 230 damage, no kills and lose and still go up weirdness. So either the gates were open or there has just been a crazy flood of returning players and they just stuff us solo drops wherever.

I returned after a LONG break, took a little to start getting my skills back so ended up down in T5. Down at T5 it is impossible to solo play to T4, you have to be in a unit and have at least a few other component players because win's count more for advancing Tier than anything else. You can do 500+ dmg in every match you play but without a win you do not advance much if any.
Add in the Event warriors in addition to the typical T5 tards and it's just horrendous. I really don't know what PGI can do to make it any better.
