Please give us another chance to spend them. There are ppl (like myself) - working in 3 shifts and/or on weekends AND have real life responsibilities for family members - who just aren't able to be super up to date regarding such time-frames, letting alone reading/remembering some small texts on the lodestone post or ingame when logging in, when you want to actually play the game if you got time, and not to read up on updates for half an hour before you are good to go.

This is even more reasonable as it was always possible to still exchange mog tomes until the next event after the collection-period of an event was over.

I find it lowkey a kick in our moogle butts (sorry, language!) that it was handled differently this time. And am not alone with it, as it seems, as there are multiple tweets and forum posts saying the same thing like me, at this state it's almost so dissapointing to see these stones in my inventory, that I almost dont even want to login and play anymore.

Yes I am also disapointet of myself, that I did not read carefully enough / remember too, but I think the beforementioned points are valid enough to be reasonable.

Having them farmed in any way we did, invested our time on earnign them, just to have them as "dead currency" now, is, like I said, dissapointing and not fair at all. Always remember, time is limited, it should not been treated as if it's wothless.
