Maybe I missed it in the thread, but I didn't see anyone pointing out that the previous GLs needed cap ships that were not available 100% of the time. Sure, they came back every 2 weeks, but the point is that the current setup is not entirely without precedent. And even if it were, you're still just debating semantics. I hate on CG more than most, I'd wager, but I don't want them to have to run every sentence through a legal department that adds qualifying clause after the other to make sure everything is 100% airtight.
The event is open permanently in the Journey Guide upon release. That's what they meant. I have a hard time believing anyone really read more into their "always available" line than that.
Just, c'mon, let it go.
