I finished 3rd. You can believe that I devoted 5 entire days and nights of my life to it yet still didn’t win
I didn't see this. I was wondering how much time did you guys above me spend! I calculated I'd reap about 1.5k vp per hour of play and made about 2.6 mil. So I must have played around 20 hours constand clicking over the event
I ran out of chrons late the night before (about 12 hours before the end). Before that one of my fricken fingers fell off making so many items. Started with 65000 chrons. Plus I started the galaxy part in 4th place from the faction part
Haha, yes my index finger started to turn black around the same time that Dumbuldores did in the Harry Potter boxed set I was watching. By the time Harry and Ron were fighting over Hermoine, I was fighting for the will to continue just a few more recipes!
As I said, I will never try this hard at an event again. Until DB makes event rewards like arena rewards - based on a percentage instead of a rigid rank number in a game where more and more players enter every day, I'm out.
This change wouldn't necessarily have helped your situation. Even with a percentage-based system, there will always be a cutoff for rewards. It might not be exactly 1000, but it will be some number. And as long as that cutoff exists, it's possible for other players to pass you and knock you out of the reward bracket you were aiming for.
My issue isn't that a cutoff exists, it is simply the placement of the cutoff. The cutoff has grown narrower and narrower as more players download the game, mainly the player base has increased exponentially in 2 years but the cutoff hasn't once been expanded to accommodate that.

I get communication and all of that but in my opinion this is the #1 thing DB could do to make the player base happier. Crazy the expectations to rank in top 25.
