Please bring back the Tomestones of Pageantry vendor

Was directed here by the support team.

Whether it's because I'm an idiot, or if it really wasn't there at the time, the EU Event page for the last Moogle Treasure Trove event failed to specify that the tomes would become outright useless once the event ended.
To my knowledge this was the first Event to break the general rule of being able to purchase items after the event period ended.

I'd.. yeah. Just appreciate that being brought back. I failed to see any kind of notice and wound up missing out on spending a sizeable chunk, including buying the (likely) one-time collectible earrings, scarf, and moogle pet on this character.
Really crushed me to miss out by a day because of IRL circumstances.

Feel free to laugh if you'd rather. I know it's trivial.

I'd just like the Pageantry vendor to follow the same rules as the others before it, so I don't have to miss out.

Thank you.

It was stated on all event pages, this is from the EU moogle tome event page

It's a limited time event and that's the way it is.

It will come back between 2 next big patch.

Before the time, it is not the time...
After the time, it is no longer the time...

It won't. Not the specific prizes.

The old prizes usually stay up – the moogle is still there and still trading Esoterics until the launch of 6.0, just like he's been there trading every other past event until it is replaced.

This specific event took the prizes down as soon as it ended and they're not coming back unless SE changes its collective mind.

Except I earned 10 tomestones after event ended. I started a raid about 40 minutes before it ended, and finished it roughly 5 minutes afterwards. Those 10 were immediately useless because I obviously could not turn them in. I would have liked to see the exchange time extended maybe 24-48 hours after end of event just so those of us who earned them late and literally had no time to turn them in.

The event went on for weeks, so sorry you missed out but sadly that's the way it is.

Posting here as well since it's available.
I'm also someone that was not aware of the Exchange being time limited, mostly due to the official Lodestone page not emphasizing the Exchange period, along with the in-game notification not mentioning it.

If there are no plans for the Pageantry vendor to be brought back to follow the precedence of the previous Moogle Tomestone events then I'd like to request that such details also be presented in the banner image of the event along with the in-game text so that there are fewer misinformed in the future.

The way that the information was presented for this instance lead me to believe that it was the earning period that was within the listed time period (as every other Moogle Tomestone event has functioned) rather than both earning and spending.
Having the single mention of this so far down the page and not referred to anywhere else on the Lodestone (or in-game at all) makes this sort of misunderstanding very easy.

This is a feedback thread, there are plenty of threads in the General Discussion forum if you want to argue about whether they deserve to be able to post here.
I'm also linking to those general discussion threads in case the employee reading this thread would like to see more.
