Banquet cutoff

So, it seems like the banquet will be starting on the 20th dec, i assume at 1pm EST like all events. But, the war season will be ending on the 6th. Which means if you want to join another alliance after the season, you will be 15-20 hours late (depending on when the season rewards drop, because they will drop sometime on the 7th) for the beginning of the banquet event. And we all know most people will spend their units when the event starts, which means you would lose on a lot of milestone rewards. Ill go a little bit harder in the Banquet, and i want to do it in an alliance that has a similar point goal as me. But, i dont want to leave my current alliance before rewards drop, because ive been there for the full season. Can the cutoff be changed to 13 days? Or can the banquet event be pushed a day back? Or any other ways that im possibly not thinking of? Because its really not cool to make us choose between war rewards and banquet.

Tone of the prior comment made it seem like milestones earned “prior to you meeting the 2 week requirement eligibility” would not be claimable. That is not right. It is just that you would need to wait until you hit your 2 week eligibility (you have been in the alliance, just not 14 days yet), and *then* contribute and be able to claim existing milestones.
The line “fully participate” just means that if you want to start doing things in DAY-1 of the Banquet, you would have had to be in Ally by Dec 6th.
But nothing prevents you from joining some days later (after AW rewards, but still say 11 days before Banquet starts), and just hold off buying/opening your Banquet Crystals until 3 days into the event (still plenty of time until end of event in order to get all your Banquet stuff done).
Participation in the “Sending Accolades” (aka, nominating teammates for different things, which if they get nominated enough in same category they can earn a special Title, if done like last year), would also have to wait a few days in that case too.
*and possibly (?) not be able to “receive” Accolades until your “requirement days” has been met too, but I think it really only applies to “sending” them. So I guess that is why they say “to fully participate, …”.
They are making a decision to screw their customers again
Why do people have to choose between aw and banquet rewards? Why wouldn’t you guys make it painless for the customer? How do you not see this will actually cost your company money if even a tiny fraction of players decide to not spend what they would’ve out of spite? Is profit maximization not a concern? You cut free resources like it is. Drag your feet fixing issues like it matters.
