I agree it's silly that you can get duplicate (or triplicate!) disks on a single node, but CG obviously doesn't care since it's always been that way and they know it's that way.
However, I'm with Gabe: if you have to rely on disk RNG then your roster needs to be improved if you want to red crate all the time.
I agree completely with the first part. Not entirely with the second. Geos, NS, ITs, MM Rebels, and a good deal of other teams just can't compete with the enemies because of all those overtuned stats and modifiers, especially when some toons end up making the team weaker in some regards (e.g., Morgan prevents revives, so MT teams are basically screwed if even just one toon dies). GLs get outsped by a lot of teams in the later modifiers, so what chance do other teams have. Also, there's no way you can get the "Win with [latest toon] surviving" unless you have either good disks or the toon at relic levels, not everyone can or is willing to spend a crapton or money or in-game resources every time a new toon is released.
Just a personal example, and I emphasize personal, since I can't speak for everyone else. I'm at almost 12M GP, I have all 8 current GLs, am farming for Ahsoka when she arrives, 2/3 of my roster is at relic levels. I get red crate each and every Conquest, the only times I haven't been able to unlock the toon right away are when I think buying gear is more important, and even then I always manage to unlock them the following season through the crate rewards. And I am able to get red crate every time mainly because of the disks. Otherwise, I just wouldn't be able to or at least have a very hard time getting, to use the current season as an example, the S3 Geonosian feat, the S3 Acolyte, at least half the mini-boss and boss feats, the S4/5 DTP kills, S5 GeoSpy, and a good amount of other feats (I'm in S3 right now, those are just the ones I can currently see or think of). Like I wrote to Gabe, saying that you shouldn't be able to get the max crate in Conquest if you rely so much on disks is like saying you shouldn't be able to get decent/max scores in the Naboo raid if you have to rely on the player modifiers.
