Above a screenshot of the material I got due to the end of life of the „archaic rites“ Crons. Compared to previous times, it’s way less. Overall it has been 30 crons (~7 or 8 level 9, ~ 10 to 12 level 6 - 7, the rest level 3 to 4). Currently lots of things are happening, that don’t make you feel comfortable with what’s going on. Maybe it’s really time to evaluate whether it might be the better choice to stop playing this game after starting it in November 2015 (…at least I think that’s the time when it has been initially released).

And yet again, no communication about that...Unbelivable all the incompetancy surrounding every release recently... and we are use to it for years...but now, it's getting on an other level...

Agreed. Seems like a very big difference between what I received this time and what I received at the last expiration (having similar amounts of DCs for each time)

if they had made a change the other way I feel like there would be a big post about how they are listening and doing great things for the datacron economy, instead stealth nerfs and crickets (maybe there's a line in an update somewhere at most)

@dhwo you’re quite right to consider whether you continue playing or not. Ask yourself - do you still enjoy it, do you like the way CG conducts itself. Which is more important to you? I’m done at the end of this Rote - I’ve had enough of CG. Nearly rage quited so many times over the last year or two, but after this conquest I leave with a big smile on my face. Thanks CG for making this a very easy decision.

yeah I think CG may have overestimated how many more straws they can put on the camels back, and then dropped a whole bale of hay on there. right after 45M of data cache vaporizes for nothing (between the conquest mess and these lower mat returns) would be a pretty good time to hang it up...I wonder why they don't also reduce the cache amounts, I guess they want people to FOMO what they could do with all of that and buy the mats with crystals, well things bend until they break

Wow, didn't even realize this after the whole conquest fiasco. CG really mastered the skill blind siding players with multiple problems so they might miss out on some. What a load of crap from this company. I hope this thread gains as much traction as the conquest posts. Seems like a lot of players like me decided to sign into the forums because of the latest issues. Dang.

This thread happens every time.

Does anyone have an actual comparison to last time?

I agree with OP. Last set I was able to make 3 level 9 DC even before the old set expired. This time around I didnt even gets materials for a single lvl 9. This is definitely not just a stomach feeling.

last time seemed inflated as i had thousands of mats, so i would want to compare this to the set before that, however i can't remember how it shook out.

that said, it feels extremely small
