From what I can tell, this year's spring events is still not giving a grace period for spending tokens when it ends a few hours from now despite the problems doing this caused last time. Players receive a warning message about this once on their first log in the final day of the event and never again, potentially missing it if they don't look closely at their login messages that time, lag out before they can or just forgot the exact words some hours later because they have no was or rechecking on their own initiative.

What's the point of an event info tab if it doesn't include information like this for easy reference? What's the point of continuing to get tokens in the last few hours of the event if it's literally impossible to use them once obtaining them is disabled? Letting people spend the tokens they already have within a few days of no longer being able to get more shouldn't be a problem. Other events work that way and it's a lot more reasonable and satisfactory for players if they're actually capable of participating in the event all the way to the end without wasting their time getting tokens they won't have time to spend. Why did no one fix this? You had a whole year.

As an absolute minimum it should also have been made clear in the news posts about the event that there would be no grace period for using tokens gained: unbelievable that this has happened again after so many complaints about similar game behaviour in the past.

^ Then those players should have known better, shouldn't they?

I always spend all my event currencies when I am done with every event. I never have to check the deadline of using them, rely on in game messages telling me so, or worry about not being able to use them in the last minutes due to unexpected IRL events.

That was the smart thing to do. I did the same thing.

Hoarding event currencies to be used for a grace period you may not have...not so much.

Lost Easter Baskets stacked in the bank, so that was an option.
