The reason they will not have used the Gauntlet for any other event in this release is a very simple one.

It's a new feature.

They needed to see how it would actually work (and whether people would love/hate/be okay with) the format and whether people would be more/less/about the same likelihood to spend real money to get through the challenge.

I'd say the reaction to the first two (does it work, will people be okay) is yes, but we don't know what the answer to the last question is (will they still make money?).
