Looks like beach party event is seals clubbing event.

these things always make people forget how to play.

In any Event with significant rewards and lots of grinding, there's always a lot of "better" players coming out to play and get the rewards asap.

BUT in this Event, I would advise grinding for this asap.
Reason being that there'll be more and more MWO Comp players/teams playing in QP for live practice (and you are the guinea pig!)

the few matches i have played so far this event haven't been to bad outside the norm. then again as a T2 player i end with the comp crowd more often anyway. (man i miss being T3 with a decent enough population that the only T1s i had to deal with were in seal clubbing groups (ones where someone would make an alt just to drag the group average tier down))

just try and have fun as best you can. honesty i don't think i will ever understand the comp folks. a video game should be one's lifestyle, its just a fun distraction not a job. MWO never has been and never will be some great e-sports title.

i did the first 75 lootbags at the start. it wasnt bad. id have done more if not for the fp in eq test that was going on. then i was out of town for a week. i come back and everyone is hiding in the rear and too timid to attack.

there are those players who come up with the clever notion to play greedily to get rewards faster. i dont know how that turns to cowardace. if you want to maximize rewards vs time, the thing to do is blitzkrieg in every match, brawl for 5 minutes, and be in the next match two minutes later. instead they draw it out for >10 minutes and take forever to even move out of spawn. trade intermittantly and generally being mediocre. it occurs to me the best way to get your stuff faster is to just play normal. your average match score shouldnt change that much over an event.so you still need the same number of games to clear the event, even if you gain an extra 5% more performance, the time lost doing so will eat the benefits.

of course nobody is playing normal, so playing normal doesn't work. somehow you can take the slowest possible mech, run it half speed, take the most out of the way route possible, and still somehow end up the first person on the firing line.
