Farming Datacrons

They want you to spend money renting their overpowered crons.  They don't care about ease of access to level or farm them.  Everything in the store is BUY this cron, win A CHANCE (.01%) to level your cron to power level 9 spending $49.99, Buy this FDC now for $99.99 and unlock the power of Castle Greyskull, Buy this calendar for $14.99 and get enough mats to level 1 datacron 1 level if you get the special bonus bundle .02% chance, Buy Buy Buy, Consume.  The ultimate gatcha game with skyrocketing prices.  I was laughing my butt off watching Mando and Grogu when the SWGOH add popped up.  Saw a bunch of phones come out and a shortly after a lot of loud grumbling "hell NO, this game crazy expensive"  and other expletives released by the crowd in the theater about EA.  

Theoretically we will get GAC matchups against people with similar spending habits and similar datacrons levels - so it’s okay to settle in wherever you are - unless your guild is facing tougher competition in TWs of course.

um u ever seen GAC matchmaking before? 😂

On the plus side others have less DCs too.

Saying that its possible to get all all FDCs and 4 or 5 full regular ones during a Conquest (50 crystal refreshes) . Feel thats an ok return and generally with the other sets it gives you enough to use a DC in all your defence and attack teams with a little to spare.

Doing the above by red crating in 4-5 days, tend to just run through to the end clean (3*, all boss feats) picking up feats where I can, then work backwards finishing off feats using the DC nodes.

I only pick the FDCs with stats that are helpful to my better teams (Revan cron can either go to SE or my Bane team) and I have anywhere below a week for DC farming. I've got about 6 or 7 of the new set. No, that's not the meme. I legitimately think it's 6 or 7. Those numbers have been ruined for me.

That is unfortunately not true.  We are ranked by activity and skill.  I have 5 datacrons, I faced two opponents with waaaaaaaaaaaay more than me.  They also had all the conquest toons and both had more fully zeta'd toons.  I felt good about it though, I lost but by one point.  They got 1510 and I got 1509 and cleared their board.

Hi, now that Set of Datacrons can only be farmed in 1 Conquest cycle, It's very difficult to farm enough datacrons and also at the same time complete the Red crate,

Does it make any difference?  Essentially, you're doing the same thing whatever.  The amount of crons you farm per conquest is exactly the same, and you still go for red crate and farm crons at the same time, just as before.

If anything, having only 1 month to farm a set is slightly better, you'd pick up the most necessary in the first run anyway.  This way, you do that and move on.  

The real issue, and it's a big one, is that datacrons last 1 month less.  So, instead of lasting 4 months, they now last 3 months.  This means we have 75% of the cronnage of what we had before.  I'm definitely feeling this pinch quite sharply.  But I guess mouses like me are who they're trying to hit with RD, less overall cronnage, relic 6 for level 9s and now the nerfings.  Thou shall not punch up!
