For some reason I thought it was. I just completed Crypt of Hearts on vetHM and didn't get it - talk about disappointed. Not looking forward to sitting in pug queues just hoping for a drop.
nope. its just a chance to drop but can only drop opal on HM. vet by itself is a chance to get the non-opal style page.

The drop rates are all together so low its almost not even worth trying to farm them. Having to be in vet hm to have a "chance" to get one is pretty awful to be honest, especially with how many dungeons my friend group and I are running to get a whole lot of nothing. 27 total pages, 3 tickets a day, 4 days, and low low low drop rates. Seems good.

The whole point of this event is not to test the group finder, but to test how far they can push the line of forcing people to buy ticket from crown store before people freaking out.
As Raisin said, the drop rates for the masks are actually pretty decent. I went in with a group of 4 today and we farmed 3/4 of the opal mask pages (waiting on the pledge to do Spindle2) and only did 2-3 runs of each dungeon.
The meager rewards from the blue reward boxes are a much bigger thing to complain about.

No player is required to collect all the Opal pages, buy them with tickets instead of gold, nor participate at all in the Event.
Any perceived grinding is on that player only ... or in this case a forum-goer all too eager to declare the sky falling.
Well I am glad to hear that others are having better luck. If its just some of us are getting lame drop rates that is better than everyone is getting lame drop rates. I literally only have one opal mask page and that is only because a friend got an extra and gave it to me this morning. Its been rough.
And yes, the blue boxes are kind of extra bad lol
