The speed event really can be a lot of fun for regular, casual players, with classic gear, but with higher speeds and bonuses. However, it genuinely is disturbing at what is necessary to be on top of the experience rankings - you either have to cheat with bots or multiple players, same account or just stay up 22 hours a day for a whole month. I honestly feel that such unhealthy gameplay should not be encouraged - whenever the next speed server comes around, please modify the reward criterion where players can win by being reasonably active (~8 hours of gameplay a day), provided they are smart and employ good strategy rather than just blunt forcing their way to the rewards by staying up more hours than the other guy.
