This is an event, and most(almost all) of the people i see are new for me. it's played by most of the people that play al, AT LEAST several thousand, far more likely - more than several tens of thousands. i don't know the exact numbers, a dev can help with that info. but i've read a dev said that the endgame players are only a small part of all of the AL's population. and the event is for ALL of them. (lower levels also play this event.)
(only i, have more than 100 active endgame players just in my fl (you are one of them btw), and i'm Very picky (-have 340 unaccepted requests). 60 endgame friends online Right Now; and a lot comes online on other time).
Do you imagine that it will be permitted that "only" 10 thousand arcane artifacts&belts to be produced? let alone 50 thousand arcanes? or more? no, they will probably be few hundreds, for the whole event - this is exactly because you are right that, these are arcane item we talking about, and loots will be rare. only for the lucky.
