Massive Reduction of Datacron Material

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).

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...
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
Does anyone have an actual comparison to last time?
last time seemed inflated as i had thousands of mats, so i would want to compare this to the set before that, however i can't remember how it shook out.
that said, it feels extremely small
I remember when datacrons were announced they set each set's expiry materials would be different
Did they ever say otherwise?
This is also the first set where the minimum requirement for a L9 datacron is a r5 unit
So the conversion might be different for those sets with lower relic requirements
Evidence enough?
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.
Does it confuse you that the pictures are different? Nevermind…this thread can be closed from my side…no longer interested.
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’m happy to accept the exchange is different, and indeed lower than it had been, but to claim those screenshots make it “pretty obvious” is a stretch. There are too many additional factors we don’t have details for to make this “obvious”.
Please tell the team to keep reducing the materials until datacrons no longer exist.
For visual representation, cause I'm a visual learning, it would look something like this
