Change on start and end times of events?

I didn't notice until today that the start and end times had been bumped up a half hour so now instead of starting and ending at 11 like they have for 3 + years they now start and end at 10:30....I probably wouldn't have opened the chests from leadership if I had known it had ended early...guess I should have looked to make sure the event was still going but knew I was in before 11

    What is your time zone?

    So this caught me out a few weeks ago. The start and end times used to be 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern.

    Now, this apparently caused a lot of confusion one time during a 2xRP (Mod 8 off memory) as the servers came back up at 12:20pm Eastern, and a whole bunch of people complained that they refined and didn't get double (seriously, do people not check the amounts before hitting the button?).

    The solution to this in early Mod 9 was to change the start times to 7:30am Pacific/10:30am Eastern - 30 mins into the regular weekly maintenance. This was it would always be active when the servers came back. At this point the end time was still the original 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern on the Monday after.

    In Mod 10, someone clearly thought, "wouldn't it be great if we have the same start and end times for the events again - oh and let's not put it in any patch notes, nor tell anyone that we are changing it (like we did when we adjusted the start time), we'll just let it happen and they can figure it out".

    So now both the start and end times of Events are 7:30am Pacific/10:30am Eastern - and due to Maintenance, you dont get the full 4 days.

    @strumslinger - can we get the old end time again? That way we have our full 4 days of the events? We got that for a few months, I don't see why this would be changed, other than to confuse players as well as short change those that weren't aware?
