News Bonus Weekend: Trade & Engineering - Now live! (24/05 to 30/05)
It's not 11 GMT yet.
I'm glad you did your engineering. But not everyone could do it in time... FD must be more careful with communication. They are upseting a lot of people.

Darn,
I thought we had until tonight.
Oh Well.

And from this point the thread gets filled with people who misunderstood the deadline, so FD probably never even see the earlier posts from ppl affected by the early closure of the event - bad luck those affected 
Nope, if they'd done it the other way there would be just as much whining about them being late.

NO... we had untill 11UTC this morning 12 GMT, but it ended last night around 12am on the 29th, about 11 hours before it should have ended

Is it whining?
In the adult world everyone has schedules and has to organise time, becuase everyone is busy... so if you give a deadline, and people organise their tme around that deadline, and then you pay no attention whatsoever to said deadline and just end it half a day early, then yes this will cause an issue for those who have orgainsed their time to accomplish tasks to that deadline. If reporting the issue and the problem is merely whining, whta is the actual purpose of a forum?
I'm sure if you were one of the ones it affected, you'd probably say something about it... but its easy to call it whining if you where not affected
In my adult world I assume people get timezone differences wrong, I don't scrape in at the last minute for deadlines and I never get upset about video games.
It defo ended early. I was paying full materials prices from about 0830 UTC. I’m in the UK so it’s not a time zone faff. Thankfully I only had the shields to do, but those who have been caught out by this have my condolences. An hour early would be an understandable oversight but we seem to be talking half a day here. Why not manage expectations if systems would server tick back to normal at different times and simply say the event ends 2359 game time on the 29th? It was a good event though, so my thanks for that.

Ironically, you appear to be salty lol.
To clarify, it's NOT a matter of timezone difference! That is NOT the issue.
It finsihed around 11 hours earlier than the deadline, on the 29th, not the 30th.
It's also not a matter of being upset about a video game... it's a matter of a waste of time.
Really ?, I just find moaning for the sake of moaning funny.
My deadline was Sunday afternoon, which I met. Video games are a waste of time, you just need to waste it productively.

OK, little selfish and judgemental attitude there buddy. Your deadline was Sunday afternoon. Others deadline was 11 am UTC on Monday.
I haven't seen any posts that come across as moaning for the sake of moaning... so happy trolling dude
You're right. It's hilarious. And if you're into wastes of time, you'll be delighted to know that your productivity is through the roof right now.
You:
"Frontier didn't end their promo early, they ended it exactly on time. Iiiiiiiii didn't have any issues, because Iiiiiiii correctly inferred that since they are in England, they must have meant their own local time, aka GMT, and NOT this "UTC" which all of you silly-heads keep talking about."
"What's that? GMT and UTC are the same time-zone?!"
"Bwah! Frontier ends their promotional period half a day ahead of what was advertised, and people are upset! What gives? Bet if they ended it half a day *late* people would whine about that, too! It's an impossible, intractable problem with no known solution!"

I can assure you that some people of this Forum would whine if it was ended half a day late

Some people on this forum would complain if Braben descended from mount Olympus and cured their leprosy.

In my adult world it's the trolls who resort to name calling when they get laughed at.

Slight offtopic, but there is a beggar in Witcher 3 that complains that his leprosy was cured by this random healer and he used to be well prospering leper and now he's just a poor beggar
