Starting a bonus without warning is a good surprise, yes some get less for it, but taking away a bonus without warning hurts the player base. Saying something ends on a day USUALLY means it ends at the end of a day or midnight PST/PSD which neither were correct.
That is the main problem...

Double standards much?
It's awful if you lose out,
Otherwise, who cares.

Again, my reference of the Dunning-Kruger effect was directed only at the user that I responded to. Please read additional forum posts before making your post. Yeah, I have to agree with thecarterologist958, that's a massive double standard. No, it does not mean that it will last until the end of that day. In order for it to mean that, they would have had to specify that it would end at the end of the day, or that the event would last through that day. But that's not the wording they used. If the problem is that you cannot understand their communication, such as misinterpreting it, then that's not CG's fault. They can't control how you interpret their message.

Reason called, and wishes me to let you know your relationship is not as close as you think it is and that you are invited to stop 'defending' her whenever you like.

Yes, because reason = shirking all responsibility and control and becoming upset because you weren't coddled. Research the Dunning-Kruger effect, you might find it useful.

Reason = I pay to play a game, I expect communication in the game.

Do you really believe it's unreasonable to want a billion dollar company to send out a reminder, in game? I mean sure people are capable of finding the information but the majority of complaints I see about cg all boil down to lack of communication and trust. A simple fix for this issue is an inbox reminder "x ends today at whatever time."

Yeah, I agree. That sounds reasonable. Good thing they communicated the day the cap increases would end respectively based on the day the events began. In case you didn't read my initial forum post, here are the links to their forum posts that they communicated on:

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's unreasonable to desire additional reminders. I would say that it might be slightly unreasonable to expect the company to be operating perfectly during this pandemic and riot outbreak. However, my initial argument stemmed from people being upset about there being no communication. As you can see from the two above links, they did in fact communicate. So my reference to reason is that I do not see it as being reasonable to become upset simply because you did not put in any effort to find the information. Again, my argument is that if you become upset/frustrated at this game, that to me means that you have enough emotional/financial investment in this game that you should be putting in effort to find information. Does CG have room for improvement? Absolutely.

I stand by the fact communication should be primarily in game. The majority of the player doesn't go to the forums on a daily basis nor should they have to. When I log in my lunch break to finish my dailies I don't have time to go looking for info and I typically don't try to figure out if I should do something earlier than normal or hold off until I get home.
If this sort of thing didn't happen on a regular basis I'd give them a hard pass because of the pandemic. At the same time people are probably more upset because of the added stress they are under. Plus people coming to the forum to voice their frustration should give cg thoughts on how to improve their product. Let's hope it does.

If someone is under stress because of RL issues, they probably shouldn't deal with it by complaining about free zetas, just to pick one example at random.

@TVF. Very random lol.
