They stated that it would end on the 28th. When you saw the update notice, the natural conclusion was that the caps would be reduced to their normal amounts

Most events begin and end at the start and end of your own personal time zone's day. This event didn't start that way, which is probably also why it didn't end that way. But all you did was exercise your long institutional memory about They Way Things Work, you read the tea leaves properly, or you got lucky. No combination of those is good justification for getting pedantic on the forums at people who have a legitimate grievance. Yo.

Just now read this, but I'm not sure if I need to respond to this one if you've been following along to my other responses. But anyway, just in-case you haven't:

Cap increases aren't like other events with timers. There are/were no in-game timers associated cap increases. Cap increases are patch in and out of the game via updates. Updates occur at one specific time that CG sets, not at everyone's midnight. Not really sure why you went through such an intricate way to insult me.

Sincere kudos for figuring that out. It makes sense once you explain it...though expecting everyone else to figure that out is unreasonable since it isn't what we're all used to. Also, you could've posted here on the forums ahead of time to give everyone a heads up, rather than wait until afterwards to comment on how stupid everyone but you is for not figuring it out.

My mission hasn't been to tell people they are stupid. I don't recall calling anyone such and if I have, that was not my intention. People have certainly been negligent and I think that's the main issue. If something like this occurs and it upsets you, the lesson I think to be learned is to better prepare yourself for the future. Find out what you can do that's in your power to improve next time. I fully recognize that perhaps even a majority of the playerbase does not pay attention to the forums or fully understands the cadences which CG has set. I believe that many of them simply do not care, and have a very casual play style where they just go with the flow. However, from my perspective, if it gets to the point where you become upset, that means that you are clearly more invested in the game and that means you should be paying attention. The thought of making a post to warn people, who apparently do not come to the forums for information, did not occur to me.
