It seems we all miscalculated. Winning the faction war was worth a crappy 3 star rune and 5000 gp, while the losers got 20 gems. That seems like a push. What we lost by faction war being so lopsided was the ability to get the 20,000gp and taurus card for free.
IGG attempted to balance teams by offering to 20 gems, but again, because 20 gems is not a strong enough incentive the teams remained unbalanced. This is my sugestion for the next faction war: we make the effort ourelves to balance the sides. That means a longer faction war and a greater chance for free stuff. The easiest way that I know of to do this is to split teams along the tournament ranking. Odds go to alliance and evens to imperials. That should roughly evenly divide the top players. I am not certain that the remaining players, who are not in the tournament, can make a huge impact as they are unlikely to heavily choose one side over the other.
Please respond with your thoughts.

To get the free taurus..I presume the 100k merit milestone rewards right... Well...I like it sweet and short as I do not pump gems or lose sleep so the shorter the better for me... 100k merit is impossible with out some gems...the approximately max one can achieve over 3 days would be ~ 3×8×5×700 = 84000 on perfect 10 wins streak each time...

That is true, but if we can make it last the full five days, those rewards do become possible.

By design it was intended max 3 days or 5 days?

if we are balanced it would be harder to get the 3 5* rune rewards

Longer is not good. It's not possible to be competitive in a 5 day event without sacrificing all your sleep and/or pouring in tons of gems.
If this event had gone on for the 5 day period then top 10 on both sides would be those who spent the most money.
As it was - 2 days it was very f2p friendly and well paced - 3 days would have been ok as well.

As it was - 2 days it was very f2p friendly and well paced - 3 days would have been ok as well. I guess that is the point I'm trying to make. If you want the runes reward, you only need to be competive for one day. You get the reward for making top 3 in your particular area in a certain day. This means that you had only two chances previously. If we go the distance you would have five. If we are very cooperative, those who already placed could dive their attention to all three areas, giving others a shot at the runes. All of the total merit rewards would also become accessiblem. Finally, even in a two day event anyone who is willing to buy a top ten spot is still capable of doing so. I personally got little sleep (4/6 hours) and went on average 48/50. Not many likely did better, but I still placed in the 20s. People who spent gems were the ones most likely above me. So, this is not a ftp being disadvantaged. Ftp has more opportunity to get rewards if we go long. Losing sleep is another thing entirely. Five days of attention to fw is difficult, especially if you are trying to get a good rank. I would imagine that most people would be affected by this equally over a long stretch, but those with more free time gain the biggest advantage.

I have spent far too much time on this game..I do not want my biological clock to be on 3hr standby... It is bad for anyone's body to constantly worry about the time intervals... Like our first sky arena of 7 days.... There maybe cases people admitting to hospital from exhaustion or insomnia ...

Thing is, even the top spenders have a finite number of revive/recycle. When those die, there's no point in spending money on more attempts... So the nature of the event is that it has self-governance on spending. More opportunity for purchasing additional attempts will become available over a 5 day period when they are on a good run, making the top 10-20 gem only.
And the sleep thing is paramount. I'm still lazy after losing 2 days of sleep last event.
