On top of what everyone else has said, I would make two points that don't seem to have considered:
1. The best gear being advantageous isn't the same thing as pay-to-win. It is possible for someone to play at the top level without having made substantial (or possibly even any) deposits. Though of course big depos make it easier to get there, and these days buying boxes gives you better access to the required buffs.
2. Being able to commit time to it is also an important factor. Most of the high placers do multiple runs to aim for a better score. The more runs you can do, the more opportunity you have to hit the 5k mobs. Someone who can commit to doing the 10 hours 20 times (or has someone doing it for them, but that's another story) has a big advantage over someone who only does it once. That said, if you don't have a high kill rate, doing it 20 times probably won't help much.
