Why should I invest in Datacron that requires a whole team to be relic 5 while most of my Toons are blocked at G8 because of the gear Crunch and 5 years old requirement gears ?

Sounds like you answered your own question. You shouldn't invest in them.

Are you just giving features to less then 2% of the players ?

If you don't have any R5 teams it sounds like you have plenty of other features in the game that you can focus on. When you're done with those features and ready for datacrons I'm sure they'll be here waiting for you.

Frankly if they want me to upgrade all my squads to R5 they should finish their plan to "make it easier to engage with relics" first.

Here is a wild thought.. Have you considered that your account just ISN'T the target audience for Datacrons?

Datacrons are for mid-end to high-end players.. and if most of your toons are below G13, then you account obviously isn't at the intended place. You can invest in it when your account is ready

So, are you just saying that if he have to fight on GAC accounts with several More Millions GP and with several reliced squads, then he isn't the target audience but it's fair to fight the accounts that can use Ratacrons???

If an user isn't on the target audience, the user then don't need to face the target audience.

This!

Also, some people don't seem to understand how to get the best bang for your buck out of a roster. Hint: Not every toon needs to be R5 to actually be viable. There are many toons in the game that do their job just as fine on G12 as they would on R5.
The smartest move one can make is to relic just those toons, that are essential to a squad and need those boosts of higher relics. The rest can easily stay G12-R1 for example. This is especially important for smaller or mid game players. That way instead of 1 squad with R5 toons you get 2-3 squads which can punch up just as much and do their job. This is way more efficient.

That's the real issue I often see.

Yeah, because the people that need a boost in conquest are the ones with loads of R5+ toons ;)

Yes, i get that they can be used on GAC, but that's not the target at this specific time. It's very ironic that people who could use the boost either can't get the boost or can't afford the boost, and those who can afford it, don't actually need it :)

I can't see me engaging with it outside of a minimal effort. I got one datacron that has health steal of 58% but I'm not doing anything further with it until I can pick up some free mats.

If I start to fall in GAC. Meh, so be it.

If you are fighting someone with millions more gp and more relic squads than you, then you are better at the game than the one who you are fighting (or he just doesn't care) that is the whole point of the skill point based system..

Did you seriously think that the odds wouldn't stack against you the higher you go? or are you that naive to believe you would continue to fight people with the same amount of GLs, the same roster size and gp range the higher you went?

You can find people in Kyber 1 witih minimum who kicks ****. but you can also find people who suck at the game in the lower divisions.

That is the game and that is the consequence of being good/bad at the game.

Here’s the problem; they sold datacrons as a boost for rosters to make irrelevant or otherwise less used toons useable again. However the high relic reqs gates many players from utilizing these to the full potential. That’s just for starters and I don’t have the energy to get into the several other issues with datacrons

If you have to keep quoting, use this post. It's really hard to follow when no one bothers to fix the markup.

Short answer is "Invest in getting all your characters to at least R5 and then you can invest in Datacrons". Problem solved, CG is happy

I have several R5 squads and I still won't be investing anything in the datacron dumpster fire

Do people think that?

I don't.
