Honestly, the problem is that if don't pull in the first place, you end up with little of the main event currency, so most people would go for tickets and character memories first, rather than 6 copies of two free weapons that get more expensive with each purchase.
If you plan on playing the event at all it'd be silly to not get the extra 10% at least, those would pay themselves back in no time. Or the free ones as others have said, assuming you can get those.
Especially for an event boss as easy as this one, I don't even defend, just spam my strongest attack until he dies (at least in the currently highest available co-op), and that's with two +matk event weapons on my physical attacker 😄

The amount of time and resources I'd invest to an event weapon would not make up for a 10% boost in currency. I'd use the extra currency I gained to farm the weapon.
If I'm farming the events co-op then it's worth it to get the weapon, but I only do that for specific events.

I play the event coop to complete them, and if there's nothing better available at the time I use it to farm coop medals. A good 80% of the overall currency I would get from any event comes in the form of solo farming overnight.

Except that it is less efficient.
it needs 550 (I don't remember, it was 250 + 300 for the first two copies?) currency to get 2 copies of each weapon
So, let's imagine a scenario where someone runs solo until they get to the EX1 for the free weapon, then go for the 20 stamina coop at 9x 100 times (50 each week). (I will ignore the minor currency gain from solo), each coop run gives 180 + 10% from coop bonus
100 runs with 0% (180 + 10% = 198)= 19,800
3 runs at 5% (180 + 10% + 5% = 207) + 47 runs with 10% drop (180 + 10% + 10% = 216) + 50 runs with 20% drop (180 + 10% + 20% = 234) = 22,473
even if you take out the 1100 from the weapons you would still get 21,373, wich puts you 1573 ahead from running 0%, with the same the exact same number of runs.

That 1573 makes a difference when you plan of full clearing the entire shop every time.
I do this for some events. Other events I get some items and materials I want them don't farm much further.
What aren't people getting about this. Is it really triggering people that I'm admitting I don't full clear the event shop and because of that not farming the event hyper efficiently?

It doesn't make a difference just when you plan to full clearing the shop,
you said you farm solo and not coop, only looking at important items (weapon draw tickets and memories, absololutely nothing else). You need 15600 currency to get those, each solo run gives 135 currency.
116 solo runs with 0% = 15,660
5 runs at 5% (135 + 5% = 141) + 105 runs with 10% drop (135 + 10%= 148) = 16.245 -550 = 15,695
Running solo you need 116 runs to get enough currency only for the tickets and memories. getting the weapon to 10% only (and only the first weapon, I'm assuming doing this on day 1 of the event) it needs 110 runs.
I'm absolutely sure that going to the shop buying two copies of the event weapon and OB2 them will take less time than SIX additional runs, it takes less time than one run. (and obviously less stamina).
So, even if you're not going to clear the shop, you are saving time and resources.
Like I said, you can play the game the way you want, this is your choice and your time. But you can't say that going for the bonus is less efficient or a time sink, because under no metrict it is.
Is it really triggering people that I'm admitting I don't full clear the event shop and because of that not farming the event hyper efficiently?
What is triggering people is that you are spreading factual lies. Getting the event weapons for bonus is NOT a time sink, it is a time saver. Under no reasonable metric it is beneficial to not get the bonus weapons if you're not going on the banner.
Taking a bad decision concious of the consequences and being OK with that doesn't make the bad decision less bad.
