If you have a handfull of people who are the top players who got there by putting in the time and effort and still do the same. then add a handfull of top gear that thos players managed to get and make it that less then thos top players can even be placed, there might be a miracle chance to still get a placment somehow.Complaining is not bad in itself, especially if it comes under the form of constructive feedback.
Complaining is bad when avatars that are "playing" for 5-10-15-20 years without changing much or anything. Don't fall into that category. Don't be those guys. Those guys call it either gamble or fully broken because they refuse to understand there is some hard work involved as well.
Back when I was trash noob I refused to join the crowd of people that were whining that "the same ubers win every time", "same ubers loot the cool stuff every time" and I always thought - ofc they do, they are the most active and it means the game is not actual gambling but requires some dedication and some strategy. There are very little people who think like this and they're quiet most of the times and focused on their goals.
A good read how a poor geared, non/low depo player, in bear armor, t7 or t8 m83, mediocre buffs, went hardcore and got a good placement in an event with only 10 spots, where xtlc1000, terminator and other much better setups were competing as well:

Don't join the forever victim crowd. It's not doing you any good, you're setting yourself for failure before you even start anything.
I have no idea if I can get a placement in the top nowadays, but the joy and excitement for competing is priceless.
In this competitions mining part my gear would actualy let me do exactly that, let me mine for a placment by putting in more time with a lower setup/bankroll but by refusing to fix my gear to actually work like the description says that chance gets completly destroyed. uneless they plan to reduce all gear performence by 12%+ of description its no longer a competition between players based on strategy and game knowledge but based on who MA likes more.
All my excitment about a mining event got destroyed by this event format so far that no event would be better then this.
