You are quite a good troll, I’ll give that to you. For the people like you who keep repeating “the event was tied to FanFest,” this is only partly true. The start time was obviously tied to FanFest, but the end time was by no means tied to FanFest - the event went on for weeks after FanFest ended. As I’ve mentioned previously, if this event started and ended with FanFest and/or used some seasonal item and had a seasonal vendor other than irregular tomestones and the itinerant moogle, people would have assumed that the window to spend had a hard stop. However, SE instead decided to use a well-established currency (irregular tomestones) and vendor (the itinerant moogle) but slipped in a disclaimer that they would function differently this time around. I think that most people - myself included - had seen the message about irregular tomestones so many times that we reasonably assumed that they would work the same as they always do and so we just checked the rewards list and start/end dates of the event (assuming that that was just the earn window, not the earn AND spend window). The events that most folks were carefully paying attention to the timing details of were the Uznair Challenge and the various cosplay/screenshot/art submission windows since these are much less common events that were more tied to FanFest.
