With the event nearly at an end, I believe it would be ideal to update the standard drop rate to reflect double drops all the time. I, and many other people I have talked to in game, haven't gotten much of what we wanted from this event; while having anticipations of the opposite. The drop rate is currently so low that doubling it doesn't raise your odds by a significant amount. I understand why having legendaries hard to get is for the satisfaction of finally finding them and so that not everyone has them, but when you spend countless hours grinding for something and never have it drop, people just give up; and I have seen at least a handful of people claim they are going to stop playing after this event. Based on these experiences, I don't think it would be detrimental to the game to extend these rates full time.
While my experience is obviously an anecdotal example, I have been grinding at a minimum of a few hours a day for the last five or so days and managed to get my first legendary ever, silver freeze. However, while it is nice to have gotten a legendary, I have been going for mercer's for probably over a year now, on and off. It is simply frustrating and demoralizing to have grinded this long for essentially nothing. Don't mistake this as an "I quit" post, I wouldn't post it in suggestions if that was my intention. I still like this game, I played potco at release, watched the many iterations of this game's recreation, have been playing since tlopo was in beta, and I will probably continue to grind my life away in search of that elusive pistol. I just wanted to voice my own, and many other's, frustrations that have been experienced in game and hope that the devs take increasing the standard drop rate into consideration. If for nothing more than my sanity.
