So most events like the Halloween one and the gphat. You had like a week or so after it ended to use the tokens you had but it seems this year as soon as the event ends. Poof there gone. Not everyone can get on before the timer hits 0. Litterly just lost 170k tokens cause I logged 1hr after time ran out due to work. Am I the only one that sees this issue? Yes it said contributing to the event ends the 24th not that using the tokens had to be used.

I agree and I saw a lot of upset players when they came to realize that at reset itself. Another issue with the lack of grace period for tokens is that the event is designed to give tokens on use, so anyone who uses them up to the end are going to have some tokens left over to use up even if they've gradually spent them over the course of the event. Cutting off the shop at the same time as the means of getting them just doesn't work. How to block a forum user

Usually the left over tokens are poofed after the deadline to use. Like the Halloween ones and party hat shards. I think yak is the only different one where not use skips can be used at later events

I get if you try to use tokens like 2 weeks after the end of it, you would be out of luck not as soon as reset

Judging by the number of bewildered and angry players at the end of the event, removal of the shop at reset was unexpected.

I was also under the impression that there would be a number of days after the event to collect rewards. Very disappointed to have collected 94k tokens and have them taken from me without prior warning.

Yea how long to participate not when tokens can be used. Nearly every event they give you time after the event is over to use remaining tokens then they go poof since many players arent on uk timezone. Not go poof when the event actually ends

They did have pop up messages saying the tokens would go. I misread the first one as 2hrs not 2days so rushed off to spend mine.

But yes a bit odd you can collect tokens up to the moment they disappear.

I expect I still have 'tokens' from some very old events cluttering up my bank. May be they should have a de-junking update for untradeable items that will never be of use again.

The login messages can be easy to miss, especially if you lag out before you have a chance to read it. I don't remember seeing one today and thought it was just a warning for the event ending rather than the tokens since they don't usually have that warning until after the event is over. Still, while I did spend most of my tokens, I lost out on my last batch of rewards since getting full mileage out of the event isn't really compatible with leaving the skilling spots every time you get enough tokens to buy one thing. Even players present for reset are going to potential have enough to spend at the shop if they actually make full use of the time remaining. How to block a forum user
