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

Also, you can’t compare the dust rates between different sets, only sets that use the same resources.

However what IS an issue they haven’t addressed, is that the difficulty at the beginning of conquest prevented many players from being able to reach the DC node in sector 1 before dust, farm new DCs, and then dismantle the old set and spend down their reserves manually, to preserve more of their stockpile. The fix to conquest didn’t come until after the dust. So that does represent a massive resource drain on the community.

No because you've provided zero context

What context do you need? I think it’s pretty obvious that on top are the rewards when set 8 has expired and bottom when set 9 has expired.

Does it confuse you that the pictures are different? Nevermind…this thread can be closed from my side…no longer interested.

It has been a similar amount with respect to quality and quantity.
Alone by having a look on the Mk1 and Mk3 material, that is different by a 40ish factor, you see that there has been a change. When looking at the Mk2s the difference is less significant.

I've sent a note out to the team in charge to take a look

Nice. What did you do the past week though? Just wondering because the set in question expired a week ago.

That's interesting. Was there a post last time a set expired that the dusting was incorrect? People maybe got used to that number and hence posted here. Just a thought...

So there was a bug. CG stayed silent and let the community believe otherwise and hoped the community wouldn’t notice the bug fix?

If I recall correctly, back in the early days we were told that the datacron dusting amount could vary from set to set - probably one of those "the team will monitor..." things. Didn't occur to me that it was a bug at all - just a variation due to whatever forces CG measures to determine such things.
