Another day, another bad move by CG, and like clockwork the usual suspects blaming the players and not CG.
Bottom line is, again, poor communication on CG’s part. Perhaps a 24 notice would’ve been nice to say

“Hiya Holotable heroes, as noted before there is going to be a reversion of the hard node cap increases, as well as the daily challenge/fleet challenge increases on 5/28. This change will be taking effect mid day, around 3:30pm PST, so please plan your attempts accordingly!”

Took me a minute write that out, on my phone, off the top of my head. Shouldn’t be too hard to ask the community manager to communicate with the community, since it’s his...you know; job.

They communicated the day it would end. CG has a consistent update time (Cap increases are patched in/out via updates). Not knowing this information, which is readily available online, means the player did not put in the effort to learn it. Could they post their content update on the forums prior to the actual update? Sure. But becoming upset because you (in general not necessarily you Ravens1113) didn't put in the time to find the information? I can't seem to justify that.

Except that isn’t readily available. You’re telling me that players should be expected to figure out when they patched in the increases (hard nodes and the other cap increase on different days btw) and the associate that and see when previous node increases were started and ended? And also figure out if these increases differ with similar bonuses like double drops.
On the flip side, Crumb just posts the little blurb that I posted so nobody could have an excuse for not being in the know for an entire day if they were so hardcore into the game....
One takes a lot of searching, digging and assuming. The other takes a couple minutes and, as Kyno said, chain of approval. One is easier than the other....well in theory because who knows how ridiculous that chain of command is....something something sticky notes about a TB question from a Q&A

I never said that they were expected to figure it out. If you don't care to find the information and you're good to play the game on a whim, then that's your playstyle, which I can respect. But if you're going to complain online that they didn't feed the information to your mouth with a spoon, then that's just being ridiculous. As I explained to another player, if something like this upsets you, then you clearly have enough (financial, emotional, or whatever) investment in this game that you should probably be making an effort to learn these things to effectively manage your own experience within the game. The information is online and within game. You make the process out to be much more complicated than it actually is. The only thing that's required is paying attention. If you don't open the forums and read the update posts, or you immediately close all in-game notifications, then you probably got screwed. But that's not CG's fault. From my perspective, you have a lot more control over how you experience the game than CG does. But you seem to forfeit all of your power and expect CG to somehow to do a better job than you by tailoring the game to your expectations.

They declared an end date. CG has a specific time which they patch in updates. You as an invested/dedicated player can improve your experience within game by making yourself familiar with these things. That is all.
