Why would you even allow it?

"It" as in, the 24h grace period to finish the take on Summer of Suffering or other similar timed content, where all of the rewards are outside of the quest itself and are not prolonged together with it.
I planned it. I used a lot of resources. I had to spend two hours in my bank trying to stop a scammer halfway over the world from breaking into my credit card. I finished the round about five minutes after reset - and thanks to that policy feels like I might as well have been scammed anyway.
It makes sense in content that includes the prize but honestly, I'd rather be kicked out of the quest than lose more time and currency for literally nothing.

I'm not making a "give me stuff" post, I screwed up and used it to point a design oversight.
Don’t wait to last minute next time
I was super busy too.. but I made sure to push it with boosts and revives after about a week.
You admit you screwed up, there is no oversight when you are the one screwing up...
IF THE TIMED CONTENT HAS ADDITIONAL PRIZES LOCKED IN TASKS, QUESTS, CHALLENGES OR WHATEVER (WHERE THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO GET THOSE IS RELATED TO FINISHING SAID CONTENT), THEY SHOULD BE OPEN FOR ADDITIONAL 24H TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GRACE PERIOD TO FINISH MISSIONS IN SAID CONTENT ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
Stop making it about me. I'm just using myself as an example. Find something else to boost your ego with.
You can always try to contact kabam support and ask if you can get the points added to your event, but i wouldn't hold my breath. Also drop the attitude before you talk to them. Be respectful and you will be treated with respect
Always look at the objectives timer, not the quest.
You want that reward, look at that reward timer
the quest timer is built in, and impacts EQ content, up to Paragon Gauntlet and down to the daily t1Basic map. that timer is how they set the rules for “completion” of a “quest” in game. specifically for the map rewards.
event timer is always “x thing y way within x timeframe”.
it’s a natural leap “that I have x bonus completion time for a map, so that carries tot he event”, but it’s a leap.
And conversely, if you want the Objectives themselves to ALWAYS have an extra 24 hours to them, BEYOND when the normal quest expiration would be.
Well, then people would see the later Objective Timer (even if NOT in the quest before expiration), and assume they can still GET INTO the quest to do it.
**there would be just as much complaining, if not more, if this was the way they did it.
It's not a design oversight, it's your fault for not being able to do it in time.
And don't me give me that "I gOt a liFe" bs to me, it doesn't sound nearly as cool as you think it does. Everyone's got a life , I miss out on important stuff from time to time but I take the L and don't act like a cry baby on the forums because I understand it's my fault and not the designer's.
I don't mind losing on those things because my priorities in life lie elsewhere, so stop making dumb arguments and move on
