You'd be wrong. "to" means "until". If it included 9/25, the word would have been "through".
It was in reference to your original comment that 'to' means 'until'. I was also pointing out that it can also means through, depending on who you ask, which supports the assertion that the chosen wording was ambiguous. You understood it to mean what they apparently intended it to mean. Did you also check the timer when the update went live to verify that you and CG were on the same page? If you did, you must have recognized that it could be open to interpretation, which is good on you. If you didn't, why would anybody else if they didn't think they were wrong in there understanding of it, and didn't recognize it as an ambiguous statement?
I don't understand why your so strongly defending the issue, when this is another perfect opportunity to recognize that how things are stated, especially in regards to release notes and other technical details that influence how and when people spend their money, is important and should be given more thought. Had it been given the attention it deserves, this thread wouldn't even exist.
I'm not "strongly defending" anything. I just find it amusing when people blame others for something they could have simply looked at the timer to get clarification on. I feel even less sorry for those who spent money without seeking clarification first - but I guess that's why infomercials work. And yes, I did look at the timer when it first came up - just to be sure.
I have admitted several times they could have/should have worded it better - which is why I find it interesting that I am accused of "defending". I've even given examples of how it should have been worded to be more clear. Just because it was worded in a way that was ambiguous doesn't absolve players from looking at the provided in-game timer.
I am all for taking CG to task when they make mistakes and do things that are misleading or borderline unethical (check my responses in the 5*/7* thread or the 20k crystals one or even go back to modgate if you are so inclined). If there hadn't been an in-game timer or the post said "9/22 through 9/25", I'd probably be handing out pitchforks and lighting torches too. But it doesn't. This was neither intentionally misleading nor unethical. It was an ambiguous phrase in the update made completely clear in-game with a timer.
