I think my biggest issue with SE randomly deciding to change their methodology for how tomestones can be spent for this event is that it doesn't really seem to serve any purpose and is extremely punishing for those who have been left with lots of tomestones (I personally have over 500 left lul). This event was a limited-time event where you could earn tomestones towards various rewards only during a set period. In that regard, it was like past tomestone events, the Feast ranked seasons, or Ishgard ranked seasons - you had to do the content during these events in order to reap the rewards. However, it was randomly changed up for some reason so that, unlike any past event (other than the seasonal events where you get special tokens), not only did you have to earn the points (tomestones) during this event, but you also had to spend them during this event. Folks on here aren't asking SE to extend the period during which players can earn tomestones; instead, they are asking SE to allow them to reap the rewards of the time they spent over the past month actually doing the content and farming the tomestones.

Putting such a short expiration date on this event's tomestones is akin to SE putting expiration dates on item codes, which they have effectively stopped doing with recent products (other than pre-orders) because it is arbitrary and punished people who "did the content" (i.e., purchased first-run albums, figurines, art books, etc.) for no real reason.

At the end of the day I doubt that SE will do anything, but it is frustrating that they would randomly change things up like this. Players come to rely on mechanics in this game, both battle content and otherwise, and this event was no different for many players who have done countless tomestone events in the past. It would be like if all of a sudden the stack marker in a new dungeon randomly meant something completely different, and you mess it up and cause a wipe because you didn't read the patch notes. :-/

Like.. I said it before and I'll say it again.. maybe all of you should have used that noggin of yours and think 'wait.. we just had one of these a month ago.. we're already getting another one?' when that is quite outside the norm in and of itself already.

Honestly I'm just projecting a bit in my post since I was one of those people who got a bit overwhelmed with life recently and wasn't able to make the cut-off. Ignorance is not really a good defense for such a thing, but it does feel like it went against prior years where they kept things up. In my own case I really only knew the event was going through the 14th and wasn't aware of the tomestones going away. I just look at the advertisements for events running and when the end date is, then go off the historic precedent. If it was like this on every tomestone event I really wouldn't have anything to say other than it's my own fault.

And I find myself saying yet again.. this is really getting tiresome now:

This was not a 'normal' tomestone event 'like every other', SE said this over and over again. It was a special done specifically for Fanfest with different rules. This is an issue of people not informing themselves properly, nothing else.
