Smarter Rewards/Contributions system?

So I have done the boss blitz many times now, and I have some serious issues with the rewards (no this is not a loot problem thread).

The issue being in the huge time it takes to complete depending on the organization in your map. I know I could just search for another one, but if I stick it out, I should still be rewarded. Multiple times yesterday I spent about an hour on the event, one time at the end I had to go somewhere (and bring my laptop with me), so I was desperately hoping the last boss would die before I had to go. 1 boss left, 20% hp. Zerg at full force I was screwed, and eventually had to power down without finishing, after spending more than an hour.

I feel like the system could still give me the reward when I log in later, but instead I wasted time for nothing, let alone that they removed loot from all the bosses and enemies, so I literally got nothing the whole time.

My second issue is more of a question… what do I have to do to get the final reward? I’ve gotten it many times, but othertimes not. One time I killed piroxis and got gold event for killing piroxis, and followed the commanders orders to not participate in further boss battles. The end result being? no reward when boss blitz ended. Another time I fought boom boom at the end for half an hour with the zerg, got gold for killing boom boom, but no boss blitz bonus.

I actually enjoy this new content (new to me as I took a year long break from the game and missed this the first time around), but it can be extremely frustrating when on multiple occassions I have lost all rewards for a large investment in time for mostly unpredictable reasons.

So I seriously think something should be done to improve the contribution calculation in this event, since it discourages zerging, but zerging all the bosses seems to be the only way to ensure I get the bonus at the end. What am I doing wrong?
