Extended downtime ruined my chance of getting Anniversary ship

I had exactly enough days to get the anniversary ship complete and had been doing the daily every day for the past few weeks. If the servers had come up at noon like they said they would have I would have had exactly enough points. But since they didn't have the servers up until hours later I am left without the ship that I spent every day working towards. I sent in a ticket and they said they would like to help but there is nothing they can do, that they would love to give me the missing 40 anniversary marks but they don't have the capacity to give items? really, this is stupid. I started playing the game a week or more well into this anniversary event and if they had fulfilled their duty and done the patch on time I would have the ship. So now I have the event at 960/1000. Every other MMO I have ever played the GM could fix such things, are the GM's in this game so powerless, did Cryptic really not give them the tools to fix their mistakes? what a shame, especially since I've spent all the hours needed towards this event and spent money on the game in the short time I have played it. I wish I'd have known this before I spent money because no MMO is worth playing if the GM's cant do anything

But I believe you're not gonna get a GM to give you 40 tokens because the event ended on time.
This. An event always ends at maintenance. Also the avenue to get more vouchers via Lobi is always there during the event also. I'll also point out that there is also more days than there is required for people to earn the vouchers, in this case well over 10 extra days.
I'm sorry if you had RL priorities that prevented you from doing the event many of the days it was available...but that isn't the Devs fault.
The event took place from January 26th till Feb 23rd, a total of 28 days. The featured episode gave 400 of the anniversary vouchers leaving the player to acquire 600 for the ship. The daily event awards 40 vouchers meaning the player had to participate in 15 total runs of the event. So you had to do 15 runs in 28 days.
Add to that, the fact that the Omega Event was actually once every 20 hours, not 24.. you didn't even have to wait a full day. The fact that you couldn't do a 5 minute event 15 times in 28 days is not Cryptics fault.. it's yours. The deadline was clearly given at the starting of the event, the fact that maintenance lasted a couple extra hours is irrelevant. The issue is you waited until the very last possible second to complete the event and it ended up costing you.
Learn your lesson and move on. If you were too busy to do the event, then that's fine, but it's still not Cryptics fault.
I guess the devs should try and say all their next events will last one day shorter (but still letting them run until the update), to see if those threads will disappear or not.
Cryptic is wise to just ignore the whining.
These events always, ALWAYS, give plenty of time to acquire 1000 tokens, even if you must acquire them 40 at a time, as you do during the Summer/Winter Events.
I have never not been able to acquire 1000 tokens in the time given in these events. The activity required usually only takes a few minutes each time and now only needs to be completed by one captain per account.
Never cut it this close if you can avoid it. Akways consider the last day, when the Event ends, as a non-day to get the Event done and you will never go wrong.
Lesson Learned, I hope.

And yes, it is clearly your fault that the servers were down longer than they said they would be.
P.S. vouchers aren't meant to be used from one year to the next anymore(was a bug this year that got patched out), so unfortunatley don't count on that as an option.

Same difference here: the game gives you a *very* comfortable margin for these (what, like 1/3rd extra of the time needed?). Don't let it all come down to the last minute, and then complain because an extended downtime pushed you over said minute.
