While it's an event meant for making gold, it's clear that it's meant for everybody to make gold, not only those that have insane amounts of gold loot. The event may not give out amounts on par with elite valley gates, deep marsh, or the previous version of the event, but the gold that you loot from event is supplemental to the gold you can make from opening/selling the chests you buy with the event tokens.
Here's some numbers to give you an idea of how much gold can be made from this event from my experience as an endgame player with arcane gear:
It takes me about 1 minute to complete each run.
After 5-6 runs (with 100% re-roll), I can buy the 200 token chest.
I can reach 50 legendary chests around 4-5 hours. (250-300 runs)
Assuming each chest is 40k in auction, that's a 37900 gold profit per chest with 12h listing fee.
In total, I can make 1.895m in 4-5 hours from just chests alone.
Each run gives me between 2k-13k with 470 gl. Let's assume that's an average of 7.5k per run.
After those 4-5 hours of farming chests, that's 1.875m-2.25m of gold farmed.
In total, that's 3.77m-4.125m.
Lower-leveled players might take a bit longer to do runs and get tokens at a much slower rate, but they still can make a million from this event, which is actually a lot of gold for newer players.
I know that sounds like a terrible amount when compared to deep marsh or elite valley gates, but take into consideration of someone that doesn't have gold loot. It can be difficult to make gold when you don't have gold loot. They still can make a million or two from opening/selling those chests. Also take into consideration the newer/lower-level players. They can't even run elite valley gates or deep marsh, so where else are they gonna get their gold from?
There's also the 2020 arcanite recipe chests you can sell too.
Here is the TL;DR:
Event is fine and doesn't need to be adjusted.
You can make gold at a pretty good rate if you don't have gold loot.
Some people running event probably can't even run deep marsh or elite valley gates.
Not everything has to be about gold loot.
If you aren't happy with how much gold you're making from the event, you can still farm elite valley gates or deep marsh instead. If neither are those are active, then you can farm event while you wait for those to open to keep that cash flow going. For me, I really don't care if I don't make that much gold from this event, I just find opening the chests and seeing if i can get 250k from it to be pretty fun.
One last thing, I've noticed this attitude lately where people have this expectation of getting special treatment and looting tons of gold because they put a lot of effort into getting their gold loot. I understand that lots of effort was put into getting that gold loot, but expectations need to be lowered. If you're disappointed that event doesn't give 30k per run, farm elite valley gates or deep marsh instead like I said earlier.
