What is happening with Datacrones?

These cubes used to be highlighting a few toons to do good things in gac, arena and tw and gives some factions advantages. Now its just intended for paying customers to highlight their shiny new toys. 

It's in game to get you to rent them for 4 months at a time.  Quality doesn't matter, common sense doesn't matter, functional doesn't matter.  It's all about "shut up and spend money."  The intent is to get players to relic up our entire roster, even if it is only a few at a time because of datacrons and TB.  The accountants that run CG won't be happy until every player has a full R9 roster.

All of the he/she stuff got switched out because they just choose new characters to copy R9s for each round.  So now everything is "they" to make it easier to copy and paste garbage to the new set of garbage.  That's why dengar and fulcrum have the "gets a bonus attack every time an enemy takes a turn" level 9.  In a couple more sets other characters will get the same thing.

Not that they'll even read this since they're on Christmas vacation until March, or so.

Opened this thread to see if you’d commented - wasn’t disappointed! 

Why would anyone take a unit to r9 for a datacron?

Complains every chance he can about datacrons, yet has 39 level 9 DCs 😂😂😂

More of a tangent, but I would like to know how people are using (in 3v3 GAC) the Fulcrum-cron if they already have the malicos-cron.  I've been using Cere/KRU/malic-ron to good effect on offense.  I had stuck Fulcrum-cron w/ Rey and Ben on defense one round, but thinking that EzraExile is better with them instead.  Dunno what to do with Fulcrum now- maybe just pair with a random rebel leader for cleanup on offense?

So, you're committing purposeful provocation?
