Just out of curiosity why has the usage of the crystalline catastrophe tfo dropped?

It's not so much a wonder that it received some time gates. Honestly I am surprised that Infected and cure haven't been 'improved' as well.

I suppose peeps did not like the changes made to that map in the long run and/or tend to a wider variety of content distributed via the rtfo system now.
I made a poll back then. Roughly 1/3 of the players liked the old CC better.

Yea. All in all a set back for min/maxers. No matter if they are after DPS (fun) or RPS (rewards per second).

People in general have played it less after the update, because it's not as fast to grind anymore.
That does not include me either. I played CCa the last time for recourses when the nukara rep was a thing. Oh yea, i did the CC events as well on a single toon to unlock the acc wide reward. Just because you are obsessed with rewards does not mean the rest is as well.
Much like ISA CCA used to be a map to test how impactfull certain builds can be.

I'd bet half the pugs in CCA didn't even know what a build was much less how to test one. They were there because it was fast and easy. And now that it's (slightly) less fast and easy, most of them aren't there anymore.
Not everyone ran the old CCA for the low dill rewards for time played and not everyone who stopped playing it did so because it takes longer and the rewards went down for time played. Like a lot of people from the group channels I used CCA as one of my testing grounds. But now we spend half the mission waiting in time gates its no fun and no use for that.
also i love it for offering 1st - 3rd place and for the fleet marks.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Most peeps from the channels dont use the channels just to check out build stuff (thats for records). You just pug cuz there is nothing like the open water. Oh, and there is nothing like waiting for 10 peeps to get ready in a lobby either.

The mark/dill reward of CE was never really that good or worth while and not all players ran CE due to marks/dill. Like it or not the group channels make up a large amount of people and they do impact the queues popping. They are not the only reason but they are part of the reason CE doesn't pop as much.
But all non-event queues have declined significantly recently, because of the near-continuos run of events.
Admiralty gives almost as much dil as you could refine without playing any content at all. Personal endeavors drive participation, but only against specific opponents (and even when it's tholians, CCA has too few to complete the endeavor). The time delays and making the wave untankable are just one more nail in the coffin.
I'd expect the Disco queues should be the most active at this time, since everyone needs the marks they haven't yet spoiled with the allboxes.
