Honestly, I don't think it's a bad thing. Life happens. We all get wrapped up in our hectic schedules. I lost my loyalty bonus point a few years back not because I missed it, but rushed it and made an error. I make a point of sending out texts to friends to be sure not to miss the deadline. We all want our hunts, but isn't it a little loser-iffic to hope other hunters miss the deadline?
Maybe just me, but I'd rather see all my fellow hunters get their apps in and take my chances.
To each their own.
