I know a lot of people skipped the potions, for example, or didn't do any battling. Those people won't get full points and won't be able to get the top prize. It's probably the same for anyone who started the plot late, say halfway through -- they'd get fewer points for being slow and also wouldn't be eligible for top prizes. Finally, we have no clue how heavily battling was weighted -- TNT could decide to make it worth a lot, so only people with strong pets will be able to get top prizes. Who knows. In any case, I don't think the number of people eligible for a multi-million-NP prize will be hugely high.
Also, I'm sure a lot more than 7100 people participated in LDP -- that was the number that got the final weapon and hit Razul with it, not the number that participated. Many people only did a few steps here and there and got the "Sand Mite" trophy or whatever, and the lesser prizes.

Potion stuff was extraordinarily easy if you used any of the guides that were circling the neoboards.

Yes, but it took a couple of days for those guides to appear. Before that, it took a lot more effort to work out those steps.
I didn't manage to participate in the final step as I was away for a week. Hopefully that won't impact against me too much, as I did all of the other steps relatively quickly, marked a decent number of graves, and I got enough BD hits in that I was happy.

During this plot the steps were released so quickly that they must have already done most work in advance, so maybe they also made a point system and prizes in advance? *wishfull thinking*

It took months for the LDP, but it took YEARS (ok, not literally) for the Altador MINI Plot prizes to come out. I'm confident that TNT will be quick with this plot's prizes, though, since they were pretty consistent with the updates...
Then again, the updates were pretty consistent for the Altador Plot, too...hmm...

What are you talking about? The Altador updates were not consistent AT ALL.
I think the prize releases will be more along the lines of Altador Cup. However long it took to score that is probably what we're looking at here, but maybe a little longer.

Oh well SORRY. The Altador Plot was way too long ago for me to remember. THE POINT IS, TNT seems more prepared with this plot so yeah.
