Datacron Set 4 + Feedback Response Information [MEGA]
One consolidated thread for the recent post by meathead today

The biggest thing about datacrons for me is the rng that comes with the level 9 ability. I have spent a considerable amount of crystals trying to reroll to get the Malgus cooldown ability about 5 or 6 times now for the one datacron and it's only came up with SEE or SET. 3 of those times, I was presented with the ability I already had during the reroll. I tried to level another datacron and again it was only SEE or SET, although mercifully it was the accelerated ult ability.
Everyone in my GAC brackets since set 3 was active has had the super Malgus DC, and it's incredibly disheartening that after so many attempts, I have not seen it.
I am in favour of the idea of datacrons - shuffle the norm up a bit every few months. The amount of new theorycrafting that comes from this is good. But if certain abilities are only going to be available on a lottery and largely dictated by "Can someone buy all the datacrons packs in the store?" then we are not left with an interactive model. I put maximum effort in conquest, I have achieved the top box every single time it's ran, and went mad farming the DC nodes recently. I am not slacking on my farming of them when they are available for farming. And yet despite this, I am at the mercy of atrocious odds.
This in my opinion is the biggest flaw in the system. Reroll materials are extremely few and far for this set and I just do not have enough upgrade materials to try and bring several of them to lv9 just to have a fraction of a chance at an ability that will greatly improve my defenses in GAC. I just feel like I'm being punished for something that is fully out of my control when I have so much control over everything else in this game.
