Yea, people get a lot more than that a day. Assuming I'm not working on the day the event starts, I often get about 50 of both souls on the first day and little less each day but usually done with the soul rewards within 4 or 5 days depending on how much time I'm putting into it.
I personally dislike doing raid events but they give so much nice rewards that they're pretty worth putting effort into. The upcoming Jack o Lantern raid event should changing the soul/BP reward system, though not sure if that's gonna change much for you.
