why wait?

Lots of people have articulated why CG should have waited. I'm inclined to agree with their reasoning.

it's about the precedent they had already set. If the exact same infinite loop had been untouched for an entire set already, players should be able to safely assume that it won't be touched mid set this round.

their actions are not always consistent and since they own everything you just have to accept them or leave.

Why are they 'fixing' undesired interactions in datacrons when the whole point of them was to be a temporary boost? I was pretty close to adding more relics to Biggs just for this - I have the datacron but my Biggs is R3. I imagine a fair number of people bumped him to R5 specifically for this (I know for sure at least one of my guild mates did).

I can't help but feel like this pulls the rug out from under at least SOME players. Who knows how many resources people expended for this specific interaction?

I specifically spent money to invest extra resources into this datacron set last conquest because it looked so good. Now with barely any use out of it the entire value of it has been taken away.

This DC set has been available for a while now, almost at its midlife. I specifically upgraded a couple weeks ago Biggs from R3 to R5 and gave a zeta to MM lead (and not to mention, spent mats for the reroll) to use it in TW and GAC. There has been no communication about a possible change. This is a bad outlook for a resource management game, to live with the feeling that everything you invest that seems worth it might be changed and nerfed down the road. You could have just let it expire and change it in the future if you ever wanted it to come back.

For my part, this nerf isn't very impactful. But once again, the principle of the matter is what I care about. To everyone who is outraged by this, I hope you felt the same sense of outrage about the countless prior nerfs/re-balances that have occurred with zero compensation. And I hope you remember how CG handles things when you consider cracking open that wallet and supporting them financially.

I do remember, didn't spent any money in this game for 5 years now ! (I do not support CG/EA, but I'm a junky so I still "play" this game ...)

Nerf / Balance happens and have to, people can understand that if there is an explanation on their changes but without, they just see thieves...
