Grand Arena Really screwed up my c3po
I really needed the rewards from that Grand Arena for the c3po event. I was actually smart enough to sign up in time and be available. Because a bunch of others aren't smart enough to figure it out....

Beyond the self-entitlement rampant in your post ("everyone should have to conform to the one hour signup window because it will be best for me!"), you aren't screwed up by the delay in GA, but by your own planning. Why?
1) The calendar did not specify what the rewards for this GA would be. Not every GA event has given zetas, so it was certainly possible this GA would give omegas, or ship omegas, instead of zetas. Thus, counting on zetas from GA was a poor choice.
2) Even assuming the GA round gives zetas, last place doesn't get them. No matter how good your roster is, it's entirely possible you could run into a murderer's row of opponents and not get a single win. Thus, counting on zetas from GA was a poor choice.
3) Even assuming you were to receive zetas from GA, you can't assume you're going to finish first. If getting C3PO was dependent on you getting three zetas from GA, you planned poorly, because again, you can't control the level of your competition.
4) If you needed more zetas than you could (a) purchase from the fleet store during the event and (b) win from GA, then you planned poorly. While there are multiple challenge days that could give zetas (3 during the span of the event itself), it's RNG dependent and therefore you could get 0 from those challenges. Reliance on getting any zetas from those challenges is poor planning.
5) Assuming you didn't rely on those challenges, you have four days worth of challenges (the three during the event, plus yesterday's challenges) to get the up-to-3 zetas you could've won in GA, thus negating any issue. Note: this would be five days worth of challenges if you didn't do your Sunday fleet challenges until after they announced the issue. Since this is time-zone dependent, I'm calling it out separately.
In sum: making a plan that is dependent on GA giving out zetas AND you earning a certain number from GA is poor planning, compounded significantly if you were counting on any zetas from challenges. If you weren't counting on the challenges, then the impact could be completely mitigated by the challenges. Next time, plan better.
