Summoner fest points total makes no sense

My alliance does regular raids, as I’m sure many alliances do, since we haven’t had enough people wanting to try nightmare raids. Due to this, we only get 1,000 summoner fest points per raid chest, with 3 chests in each raid. Nightmare raids give 2000 points per chest.
It was confirmed that there is a hard cap of 300,000 points for summoner fest, which is a little crazy for a ranked event, but nonetheless, I can’t reach that maximum for doing regular raids. Sure, that’s fine, I’m not doing the hardest possible option. But why are my points now limited. Between 3 raids in raid month and an additional raid in August, I’ve missed out on 12,000 points for not doing nightmare raids. Which again, makes sense for the ranked event that I wouldn’t be at the top. BUT WHY IS THE MAX REQUIRED POINTS FOR THE SOLO EVENT 285,000. Just by doing normal raids I’ve already put myself at a maximum of 288,000 points, which means that I will have to do every practically every super daily event and battlegrounds challenge just to get the max milestones. That seems outrageous and it is completely awful that there is a hard cap on the amount of points that is so close to the max milestones.
I have a valiant account with 32k prestige and 4 r4’s. I play daily and I feel like I’m a player that should be getting the max rewards, but I’m already at a disadvantage before I even knew it. Now I have only have room for a mistake or two, which really doesn’t make any sense to me.

It's 4 raids this month, not 3, so regular raids all month, plus once next month, caps you at 285k if you 100% everything else.
This isn't helpful to your case at all, but I think people are failing to understand properly how this event works. To be clear, I don't like the setup. The fact that the ONLY way to differentiate yourself from the field is to spend a ton of money is ridiculous and greedy, and shame on Kabam for making that the only means by which players can outdo each other.
But that doesn't mean a realm event should be created in such a way that everyone gets everything either. If you want everything, you have to do everything. That's not a terribly unfair ask. You still get a bunch of stuff for stuff you were going to do even without the realm event.
They just didn't consider that some people might move alliances to be able to score the most.
Besides that problem is just the lack of effort that bothers me. We used to get those charts with the grey background listing everything in advance to be able to plan. Someone might say, they didn't do it so they can sell the points to make up for missing points, and the way things are going they might not be wrong.
Putting a hard cap on the amount of points you can earn for a realm event with ranked rewards makes no sense. And the contribution requirements are so huge that you have to get 95% of the max possible points? Why is this even a realm event at this point? The way it’s designed it literally just could’ve been a solo event.
I’m really scrambling to find an alliance that does nightmare raids. I already missed out on a week of points because of zero communication from Kabam, and I could lose out on even more if I can’t find the right alliance. I will probably be screwed out of max rewards totally beyond my control
Big time missed opportunity with this event that every summoner will be reminded of for 62 days. Brilliant.
I do agree that they should have allowed planning which they failed completely.
Its too many damn modes to be able to keep track. You can't quit an alliance cause War season, you can't quit cause of BG rewards, or Raids or whatever mickey mouse alliance event is running. They need to sync events or simplify them.
And now we get a *fireside chat* posted to the announcements page that can’t take responses. Pinwheel does the heavy lifting (as usual), but the others just slip in and drop a largely unhelpful comment before slipping right out.
It’s a mess. I wouldn’t put a cap on what should be sent out as an apology for a completely botched event and update right after one of the big annual MCoC Spendapaloozas.

Yep. If you would’ve claimed them you would’ve gotten points. Kabam has responded saying they only “intended for it to be” the two streams you referenced, but that doesn’t change the fact that people got the points from these past twitch drops. Unfair at that point bc you have people like myself and many others who claimed on day of stream not knowing to wait until event started. Now those people have a leg up
