Yeah, I'm seeing some people having strong feelings about this but I really don't see the problem. For me conquest starts half way through my day on a Monday and sometimes I'm not able to get started until the following day. That's never been a problem - for me. I realize some people may need every single hour of conquest to hit their target box but one extra refresh per day for three days should easily make up the difference. The timing is inconvenient for sure but I just don't think the few hours lost to ignoring the game while you spend time with family is nearly so impactful as some seem to think.
It could be that spending a few extra minutes formulating a plan for conquest could make up for the lost time. If you can find some added efficiency as a result of this, you can only benefit in month 2 and 3 by having extra energy to spend on datacrons - or extra days to not worry about conquest if datacrons aren't your thing. Point is, this doesn't have to be a negative - this could be a good thing if viewed from the right angle.
