So yes, P2W with datacrons exist. The "W" situation just need to be defined correctly. It's a long-term win and not just as simple as "winning more matches". Datacrons distort the skill-based ranking aspect of the GAC-ladder more than any other advantages you can get by spending money on this game.
Allow me to debate a couple of points, even if i agree that p2w with dc exist:
- this only concerns fairly developed rosters. You need full R5 teams and the right GL to take full advantage of DC. Buying GLs and such will still benefit you much, much more at lower levels.
- The new spot you’ll get higher on the ladder with DC isn’t long-term, as you’ll lose the benefits after a few months and are likely to fall back afterwards.
But the P2W debate derailed from OP’s title, which is the only point that really matters imo: Are DC a fun way to change the meta ? I would say Yes when it’s making a few factions more powerful, No when it’s making a dodge meta.
