I don't think GoC was saying that if people accept the gift they are "selling out". this is just what he feels he wants to do. I dont' think there is anything wrong with that. I actually thought about it (not accepting) for two seconds, then clicked accept :).  maybe those are very similar sentiments to what GoC is thinking.  In addition, I saw someone else post earlier that they will use the 25 bcs to 3 cube the big whales that the top tiers are seeding (allbeit having little effect in comparison).  This is just how GoC chooses to vent just as others choose a different way.

as for not getting back ranks, well a full reset to where we were all before the event started, I'm sure all of us agree would be perfect. Its funny that Mobage didn't even bother to do a backup before making these changes... isn't that IT 101?

my biggest problem with the ally request issue is the lost time. the last two days, everyone near the tier border ranges were ready to make a big push (me included). and we couldn't for a long period of time. these were the crucial moments that we needed to get somewhere, but we really couldn't go anywhere; so we missed a huge opportunity to challenge for a higher tier, and by the time things were back to normal, at least for some people we were out of range with the remaining time left.

anyway, I'm glad this event is almost over, I really really hope the next one is better run, and I hope I will be able to play it til the last day, unlike this one, where there was no point to push for top tier with 36 hours remaining (but maybe there was never any hope; because i couldn't get a jetfire).
