I think its efficient. Not as much as possible, but could be worse.
Right now, 10 mins before the end, i drained all nodes down to 0 pts, still i am at 110th place.

Dont want to complain, but this event (or at least the 2-day part) obviously forces us to clear nodes for no rewards.

PS: First player has 20 000pts more than i do.

Well, right there I can see you are not maxing out your points. You don't clear the nodes twice at the start if you want to get high placement. The best way to max out the points is:

Event starts - clear each node once.
Wait 8hrs(full refresh of points) - clear each node once
Wait 8hrs(full refresh of points) - clear each node once
With 2-2.5hrs left in the sub - grind each node down to 1 point

Never worry about your placement until a sub is over. That should give you some kind of idea as to where you will finish the event. Remember some people don't care about placement, they just want the progression rewards as fast as possible and will double and triple tap nodes off the bat. Example, I was in 180th place at the start of the grind phase for the 48hr sub for Unstable Iso, I finished in 10th for that sub when it ended.

I've used that above strategy for every event and finish in the top 10. The Unstable Iso event I got 81.9k points and finished 10th, first place had 83.5k.

I know how it works but it's still UNFAIR....

Gotcha. Some think when that occurs it means that others played the same amount of time and didn't have to try as hard (not saying that doesn't happen, it does), so just checking.
