Keys and XP tomes nerf are making the game WORSE

[GOD OF WAR SANCHEZ]

1. Keys was the only and minimal way of income for COF players.
They removed the money from selling and yet, they did not remove key nodes from monoliths.

2. XP tomes was the most useful node for COF in monoliths. The favor progression is a slog, it is extremely slow. And the rewards are extremely poor.

I have spent 1 million favor, accumulated over 20-30 hours of grinding the ♥♥♥♥ out of high corruption monolithhs (most people farm much lower tiers). All on unique prophecies, and I did not get a single 2LP helmet I needed to drop. The drop rates are abysmal and are not affectd by monolith progression *rarity increase" at all.

Corruption does not matter too much on your LP target farm and CoF is designed in a mathematically bad way.
CoF rank bonus makes you find more LP items, while that is true, what it does is essentially rolls non lp items to LP ones, usually staying at 1 LP. The way how it is presented in the game would make you think that CoF is more likely to find 4 LP items but right now it is exactly the opposite.
With the ridicilous amount of bugs and exploits since launch, I am going to bet the mechanic is probably not working correctly.
I had far more LP 3 drops when i turned into Merchant's Guild two days ago, and found my first 4 LP earlier today.
They did the key change to fight botters but the Casual CoF playerbase got hit hard, especially the offliners because EHG has no idea what they are doing.

Almost all top players play through MG, and the developers are nerfing CoF. Hilarious

Isnt it so, that CoF also needs a lot more favor to really farm anyhing?
how much favor does a MG member need to buy a 4LP unique BIS ?

Depends on the unique, favor cost is not the issue.
4LP unique BIS, true endgame uniques, are impossible with 1 in 16 quatrillion drop rates.
When you search for them in market, you will find no results. So both sides get nothing in the long run.
CoF was supposed to be a substitute for offline players, but the way how it is designed and handled since launch is just horrible.

500k is the cheapest you'll find. 5m is the most i've seen. I got the best gear for my build for free minus favor. Maybe 5k? Staff and helmet that are super rare, super strong etc. Free. I tried CoF at first and it seems cool but I get so many drops and shard and yadda etc. I probably sell 100k of mid level rings a day. Get a few 50-250k sales on some very premo exalts. I've sold 100 items at atleast 10k, so 1m in. Was crazier at the start as everybody ranked up.

Yeah I literally uninstalled and changed my review to negative after nearly 400 hours of playing this game because of these patch notes. Wildly out of touch devs. What are they actually doing???

[JustSmile]

Do you know why they will nerf CoF XP and key gold, but won't touch bugged skill nodes that invalidate all leaderboards for this season? Because the former will make people grind more, thus spend more time in the game, thus drive up their engagement metrics, while the latter has no such impact. This was done specifically to waste players' time.

Short question. What is CoF?
