The Feast: It's rewards from the past and going forward.

The reasons you state are actually the dream incentive to get it. And it's quite obtainable, I got top 100 and a Hellhound mount, it's pretty awesome! I don't have them all, but that's just how it is. You can't have everything.

Great, the other 2000 or so who played Feast that season would disagree on how obtainable it is. Skill follows a bell curve; the majority of people who do Feast will not have a chance at it. That's why they introduced the weapons, because even they realized you can't have a pvp scene where all of 111 people per data center get anything more than a title or a piece of jewelry.

but in the end my suggestion is : Make the rewards available but make them difficult to attain.

In that case, I think something like "x# of wins" or "x# of matches" would be a better metric to distribute rewards by. That way it's not arbitrarily cut off and anyone can get it if they spend enough time on it.

Then you fall into the territory of "well.. then you just need to throw time at it and anyone can do that".
It's not an easy fix... =[
if you did wins or matches it'd have to be an astronomical amount..

Time is work and effort. The whole point of it is that "anyone" can obtain them - so long as they work hard. "Top 10/20/100" is arbitrary and does not actually distinguish between those who put in work and those who didn't.

I will counter that time is only that...time. It requires very minimal effort or work to login, queue and move just enough to not be kicked for idleness. Time is however the ONLY real resource any of us can manage completely so I'd be fine with that. I'm speculating you'd get a lot of people complaining about bot's or AFK'ing for the prizes though.
I'm not saying it's not a good solution, I'm simply bringing up what the opposition will likely say for discussions sake.

I don't really care about people who afk, to be honest. For one, afking and bots are punishable with vote kicks or bans respectively. For another, I don't see a few people's lack of courtesy as a reason to punish other players with a system that by design makes it so they will never be able to actually work and obtain those rewards.
