So does playing AL drain your data?

I tried playing it for 5-10 minutes and it only took away a few MBs which I thought was odd. Other apps consume more in less than a minute.

If it doesnt drain your data, why is that?? Its a multiplayer game with high graphics.

You download graphics only for once and it's a netcode consumption from now on. Graphics or aura effects don't affect data bandwidth at all. I've been able to play this game on 2G (for all you 4g peeps, 2g is 32 kilobytes max speed) and I've been able to play even dungeons with high mob density such as WT4. Ping was starting from 400+ though but I didn't care at all

Data usage is <1k/second at the height of combat.

so 60K/ minute = ~3.5 megs/ hour.

I read this when i was deciding to buy data pack from my operator for playing AL in work. 200Mb was enough for 1 month of playing.
