To your first point, you're operating under the assumption that volume of participants is the only metric being looked at. It isn't, the behavior of the players that participate, during and after the event, is also being looked at. If giving more prizing results in more engaged players, we can justify giving more prizing. You're also assuming that the design of this event is insulated from all other events and goings-on. It's not independent of other activities, and I can't force the event through and make it rain with an astronomical number of boosters if it's going to negatively impact events that others are also working on. In theory, more people participating in of itself isn't necessarily a good thing, because it's a larger volume of prizing going out. What defines the success in my opinion is whether or not engaging with the CC Content being promoted via this event results in you engaging with the game and community more overall.
As for the final reward, that's why I'm referring to it as a bonus. The 40K XP is the main reward, as it was with previous Scavenger Hunts, and this was the feature of Scavenger Hunt that received the largest volume of positive feedback. In this case, yes, it was an oversight on my part - we'll definitely look into the possibility of giving out some extra codes to give folks a few extra days but any time we do that we pollute the data and, without going too much into our internal workings - I was initially under the impression that players who participate in scavenger hunt are more engaged as a result (without considering the fact that more-engaged players in general are those who are most likely to be most-engaged with Scavenger Hunt.)
But the tl;dr is 'yes, if you want to get the x5 you will have to enter a code and play battles on the 30th." Honestly I'm just happy to have a Scavenger Hunt event for my CC's in some capacity. I haven't had a whole lot for them to participate in lately, so I will gladly take what I can get
