Sadly, they failed to mention that without g13 on a few toons from each team, you really stood no chance until the event started.
The datamine showing their recommendation was R3 across the board came maybe one day after the requirement announcement. And if you missed the datamine, it was there for everyone to see after the update. It makes sense to panic farm right away, but it doesn't make sense to spend your whole gear stash right away. The smarter move is to try to lowball it than add gear as necessary. There were plenty of folks who spent their gear stash and never unlocked, but I doubt any of them got R3 everyone and still failed.
