As the subject states crons are going no where. But cg could add mats and currency to all nodes across the board. You have 3 different types of crons to build at any given time but only couple places to earn resources for them. And with the cron store changes you either use crystals or suffer greatly. We are already spending hoards of energy each day an crystals to do refreshes so why not add mats an currency to all nodes so we can earn a little bit thru out our day. The biggest complaint i hear in my guild is the currency. All crons use same type and to take one cron to L9 it uses a lot of currency. At first we only had 1 cron to build and then 2 but now tht the 3rd one is out an with the the 1st one about to be expiring and a new one will be introduced we will have 3 at all times to work on. So the currency crunch will only get worse. Im sure the community has other ideas to help alleviate some of the headaches with crons but this i think would go a long way to help reduce some of the stress n hate that they have brought to the game.

Nah, they gave us too much currency. I wanted to face less DCs, not more.

This ^ I don't like them and I wish that they'd go away but I am realistic and doubt that's going to happen. So I use the free stuff that comes our way. To not do so seems churlish and somewhat pointless.

If CG gave away more datacron mats for free the game would still be ruined and CG would make less money from datacrons. Sounds like a lose/lose situation to me.

Why do they have to be here to stay. Why can't GG put their hand up and say maybe we got it wrong guys we are pulling them out. The playerbase seems to have this thinking that CG and this game is struggling in terms of profit margins or something. Stop being so naive. Lots have left the game because of datacrons. I see it in our discord heaps. The mechanics of dc are too extreme. Riposte is a joke. Reys one was a joke. You have made the game less about strategy and more about luck/money. No surprises about the money part but still. How much is enough?

I for one refuse to engage in the datacrons at all. I'm a day one player who has whaled more oftennthan not but if push comes to shove I'll leave the game. The line has to be drawn somewhere and if not datacrons the next abomination that gets foisted on us will be even worse. Datacrons are simply bad for the game

Datacrons are here to stay but heres how it could be better

And even more currency is coming via bonus drops. Please stop this madness!

I don’t think the currency issue is why people hate data-CONS so much.

I do, out of every shop currency, and ally points now

That’s probably because you are one of the few that actually like Datacons. I was referring to the majority that don’t like them at all.

Oh come on. I’m sure even some of those that dislike them still use their currencies to level them up.

I’m prepared to accept without concrete evidence that the majority of the player base dislike datacrons, but you can’t seriously be suggesting that the majority aren’t engaging with them?

I can only speak for myself but I don’t use any currency for mats. I need those for gear. I use the Bronziums for gear and shards for the shard shop. And the shard shop currency goes into gear. The reason why I don't use them for DC mats is because I don't want to need even longer to gear/relic my toons and the temporary nature of DCs makes them less important to me compared to gear/relic levels that are permanent.

Still don't farm Datacrons, whatever I get from Conquest (horrible place to put those mats) I use.

Don't spend any crystals on them, don't like them.

Datacrons are not here to stay because it is still during the "exhibition" season and I hope they are dismantled and removed from the game.

CG needs to acknowledge they made a mistake and actually work on the gear economy, which many of us are interested in and are expecting rather than Datacrons, which many were NOT is asking for.

Datacons don't have to be here to stay. That's 100% up to us, the consumer. Bad products come and go all the time. If we don't waste time and resources on them, CG won't waste time and resources making them and pushing them. CG's not your parents making you eat your datacons or no dessert. They are a game company. They work for us, the consumer. If the consumer doesn't consume their product, they won't make the product. Datacons are a bad product.

Once upon a time, a soft drink company, called Coca-Cola, made something called "New Coke." People didn't like it, so they didn't buy it. Magically, the original, well, not the original, Coke came back rebranded "Coca-Cola Classic."

If a company came out with Banana Pickle Ice Cream, some pregnant women might rejoice, some morbidly curious people might try it, but the majority of the population would ignore it, and it would go away. Datacons are Banana Pickle Ice Cream. Ignore them.
