I see your point that denying free BP sucks. I mean, my FAWKs have also decreased their activity which means I've got to rely on myself. So yeah, having FAWs cost BP sucks. Thankfully, with witch gate, I can farm my own FAWs with the challenge system.

However, what possibly could be the benefit of this? I would guess to reduce the ridicuolous workload to rank. If FAWKs can't be spammed shared anymore, obviously fewer people will likely rank. Therefore, when you really do want a RR, you can spend swords and win against reduced competition. It also means you'll have to skip a few events to store swords.

Making FAWs harder is an idea. Though just like this patch, it's a change that some people will like and others will not. Personally, getting to where I am now was quite the chore. Increasing the difficulty of FAWs makes it even harder for new players and just makes the game harder to invest in. The benefit might make you higher lvl players happy but from what I noticed, the introduction of FAW servants was not well received.

The thing about mainstream, I sort of get. People all do the same thing, it gets boring. However, no matter what, people will find the optimized deck every single time. Changing things up only leads to a new meta, a new mainstream deck. It doesn't solve the "problem"
