Thankfully, no one in my ~400M guild has quit since DCs were released. However, there is a lot of negative sentiment, even among the more devout players among us in our first GAC stream since DCs were released.

But the spenders are still spending, so CG probably sees this as a colossal success.

Numbers aren't accurate since 322k players signed up for GAC (so there is no way only ~15k players have datacrons) but gives you a good estimate on the 15k sample size, how many are engaging in datacrons and to what level

Speaking of GAC signups:

one before - 324,708 hits
this one - 322,919 hits

So at most 1.8k players 'retired' but most likely a big chunk of the difference are casual players who missed sign-up and don't play the game daily or check regularly or actively

But going from the number differential and pure number data from before and after datacrons (GAC signups), the whole "people are quitting" is exaggerated in small circles

This is very intersting, thank you.

There is also one more point to consider: Last GAC was 3v3 so it begs the question if there were less sign ups than in the 5v5 round before. If yes then the difference would be even higher, meaning more people didn't sign up this time compared to the last 5v5.

Edit formatting

Yeah to have any decrease is bad. I get the argument that 1800 accounts isn’t a big deal but we all assume 3v3 had less signups. I’d be interested in the comparison to last 5v5 to see if that’s just a myth or not.

I’m also surprised to see 320ish as the number. When gac changes went live I saw someone who tracks gac saying 400k players if this was released by the same people that is extremely bad. I doubt it is though.
