Datacrons- objectively terrible

So let’s evaluate the impact of datacrons:

1) regularly alters the meta, so constantly unclear what teams are best to farm/focus on
2) only temporary, so any investment in them will be immediately lost at the end of the cycle
3) random, so can’t even farm for a specific thing in any consistent manner. This also means that people who don’t have a strong specific faction may not even want to level them past a certain point- again due to randomness.

It’s no wonder datacrons are universally disliked. Honest question CG - what were you thinking?! How- in any way- do these improve your product?

    Good! Less whale advantage. They have plenty in this game.

    Also keep in mind that the recouped cost is cumulative. You're getting 28% back, but you're also getting 28% of 28% of the previous round back, etc etc. Doing the math, it looks like you're getting back about 38% cumulatively after 4 rounds, approaching 39% by 10 rounds. So your input each "season" is about 61%, not 72%.

    EDIT: I see Rius just mentioned that as well.

    The GL's being included is dumb but also necessary because they've made the GL's the end all in PVP content. The push for all GLs would be impacted in a manner CG doesnt want if you could catch an awesome datacron that turns Ezra into conquest or GI event Ezra and your Ezra is now as powerful as a GL.


    I sort of agree, though (1) datacrons are temporary so it wouldn't be earth-shattering and (2) their GL mindset is bad for the game anyway.
