You can buy your way into the top 500 if you really want to, but you don't have to spend at all. I just started playing this game less than a month ago, I've spent no money at all, and I'm going to place in the top 500 once my last apparatus is finished.

You don't have to buy rubies to get more duel chest slots. You can get 100 rubies from renewing your duels rank, and from winning the daily tournament. Even before the apparatus thing, it's fairly obvious that duel chests are the best things to spend rubies on, because they give you a big permanent benefit.

And yeah the first two weeks ended up being kind of useless for the marathon, but it's not like there was no point at all in participating. There's still two event mythics to fight for in those weeks.
