Still sad that they didn't extend the story expiration

I was literally a couple hundred cups away from finishing the whole thibg and getting the cats (the main reason I got the story, aside from the pentacle avi).
I get that they want you to spend more money by gifting the story pass to others but it just kinda sucked that it made it crazy difficult to get the drops for the coins, cups, etc without the gratitude voucher.
Like I was in a cc club the whole time I was doing the story and I still couldn't finish it. Imagine being someone who was in POTD clubs. I'm not mad, just really bummed out and feel like I didn't get my money's worth. Hhh, idk
