Dunno about anyone else, but I've been aware of the fact the tomes would be useless after the event cut-off basically since it was announced.

Because I actually know how to read, which is more than can be said for a good majority of the people whining that they "had no warning" about this.

Would it be nice for the moogle to have remained for a little while after the event was officially over? Sure. But that would not solve the issue, as there will always be someone who forgot or didn't read or didn't know (because they didn't read) - and then they'll complain all over again. Kinda like the late-comers who can't keep up with Hunt trains.

It really is up to people to take some responsibility and inform themselves or be aware. That really is not asking for as much as some people seem to think it is.

Except there was nothing "sneaky" about it. If people took the time to read they would know. SE has no obligation to spoon feed people too lazy to read a login message, let alone anything else.
