Don't use them. CG obviously doesn't care how much we complain or what feedback we give. They only care about numbers. If we complain but still use them, what's their incentive to remove or even change them? Actions speak louder than words.I tried them. I don't like them. I've stopped using them.

I'm going to lose to someone who whales on datacons anyway. There's no way I'm putting any money or other resources into temporary upgrades.Personally, I think it's insulting and disrespectful to the player base to expect us to rent upgrades for a mobile game.Even if CG won't get rid of datacons, we can still be civilized as a community and not use them. Be the change you want to see.

They've ruined the strategic competitive nature of the game, and made everything I've done over the last 6 years irrelevant. I refuse to engage with them at all unless there's drastic changes.

I mean they literally cost you nothing. Just work the couple you get free and don’t worry about it.

With or without datacrons scoundrels are outmatched by force users, so nothing changed for me, why bother?

Have a second team.

Datacons provide zero incentive to gear up a team though, because by the time your team is ready the datacon has expired.

Datacrons. Are not. Why. You. Build. Two. Teams.

You. Don't. Need. Every. Character. At. Relic. Levels. In. A. Squad. For. It. To. Work. Perfectly. Fine.

Don't you though? Can you even equip a DC with characters in the squad under R3?

That's their point - there are many, many teams that don't need to be at R3 to be effective. And the short term of Datacrons doesn't make it worth the investment in bringing the characters to R3+ over other characters that are more needed/useful at R3+ in their teams in perpetuity without a Datacron boost. It's a poor choice to allocate the resources just to complete R3 for a Datacron team.
