So, why exactly are 'you' against CoC? It's not like it's the equivalent of pre release Spork...

Why am I against CoC?
Imagine being able to Multistrike with Earthquake, with an aftershock on each swing.
That's what CoC does for Spells.

Because drop rates are balanced around the rate those top 50 players can acquire wealth. Look at the balancing of Talisman league for the most prominent example.

Exactly this. Those people force you to play coc or miner too (or be the poor guy) and that is just plain bullshit.

Yes. This. Ten thousand times this. This should be framed and hung on the wall of Chris Wilson's office to remind him why this game sucks so much right now.
This is a buff™

So in a perfect world where every skill in the game is balanced completely evenly. You belive drops will be higher? There is no other reason you can think of for shitty drops in a free to play game? No incentive whatsover for the developer keeping you chasing that carrot?

Then instead of asking for nerfs to CoC you should ask for buffs for every other skill. Bringing CoC down will not improve your clearspeed or grind to 100. The only thing it will do is give you the satisfaction of knowing everyone else having to suffer as much as you. Which again, caring how other people play shouldnt matter unless you are a real competitor. Not proud to be top 5000. You say you have multiple 100s you could be one of the top 50 who does have a legit reason to care. Im not going to look. But if you arent nerfing CoC or whatever meta skill takes its place after it gets gutted isnt going to help you.

And then you needlessly contribute to even more unwarranted power creep.

Fact is, Cast on Crit is broken. Its honestly hilarious that people are still trying to argue that it isnt.

The game is being balanced around broken shit, why do you think monster damage and life was brought up multiple patches ago ? Its the reason why melee is suffering because they cant deal with the large amounts of elemental damage present in the game, the damage was only increased because broken as shit builds like Cast on Crit existing, its the entire reason why gimpy one shots exist as well like Volatile Blood.

You cant kill someone playing on demigod mode without cheap tactics that affect regular users in a significantly negative manor.
