The problem with Datacron's
While the mechanic is interesting and some streamers hype up certain buffs, overall they are damaging to guilds and they steal gameplay from the community.
Damage to guilds.
The community is divided in their opinions on datacron's but in my personal experience as a guild leader with this new mechanic is that they are used out of necessity and not desire or enjoyment. As a result guild members complain how they are made to feel like TW and GAC are being turned into a second job.
progress that could of been gained from TW and GAC payouts are now basically impossible to gain unless you bow down and participate in using the datacron mechanic.
Members are officers start to take breaks because of this mechanic turning in to longer than average breaks, some even considering leaving the game for good.
Recruitment is becoming more and more difficult for higher GP guilds with the datacron mechanic with players no longer choosing to strive for a guild more fitting for their roster but instead to stagnate in a lower GP guild to avoid basically being forced by CG to use datacron's in an attempt to keep their progress.
Stealing from the community.
Rather than turning some of these kits in to:
Character reworks
New chatacter kits
Relic 7 abilities - announced and never delivered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CX2rAYurJQ
Faction tag bonuses
We are instead given a taste of what CG comes up with and then stolen away from us after a period of time. Datacron buffs could be used in a much better way but this is just ridiculous.
guilds are dying from the impact. Correct this CG before it is too late for the game and for many guilds out there.
