Eldritch altar (2000) feedback in 3.18

Nor their spawn rate, nor their rewards are close to their original 3.17 form.

Overall,
- 769 maps,
- 2004 altars,
- 2,605 altars per map,
- 3 normal eldritch currency,
- ~580 lesser, ~220 greater, ~370 grand,
- 27 altars with monsters % chance to drop scarabs,
- only found 3 times 6 or more (6, 8, 6) elritch altars in the same map,
- and had it once to spawn 3 altars in the same screen in a corridor on crimson temple.

Side note, bosses several times did not drop the guaranteed x card or x eldritch currency.
Bonus, altar mods shall be summarized exactly the same way expedition mods are tracked per area.

Exarch,
Spoiler
- 1003 altars,
- 13 high invitations + 4 maps; 368 maps,
- ~260 lesser, ~90 greater, ~290 grand embers,
- 2,72 altars per map on average,
- 1 eldritch chaos.

Eater,
Spoiler
- 1001 altars,
- 14 high invitations + 9 maps; 401 maps,
- ~320 lesser, ~130 greater, ~70 grand ichors,
- 2,49 altars per map on average,
- 2 eldritch annul.

Atlas setup,
Spoiler
- most maps with essence, harb, expedition, sextant nodes,
- had bossing setup for 3 48-maps session,
- both eldritch with buffed altars,
- metamorph ~30% of maps,
- delirium ~15% of maps,
- ritual ~15% of maps.

Altar strategy,
Spoiler
- mostly did not care with their negatives, focused on their rewards,
- only skipped 4 altars the whole league during leveling with both options lethal,
- prioritized x eldritch currency from boss, scarab % from monsters, currency % from monsters.

Mapping strategy,
Spoiler
- 48 same maps sessions,
- last ~70% of maps 4 sextanted,
- ~85% maps with stream of consciousness,
- ~15% maps without stream of consciousness and with harb, box, card and elder scarabs,
- maps in quant order strand, crimson temple, park, dunes, shores, beach, city square and mesa,
- ~90% T16 maps, all chiseled alched, mostly vaaled 60-140% quant rare maps,
- playstyle was gathering screens of mobs then group kill them at once,
- all maps full cleared until less than 10 monsters remain.

With this low average, exarch's first 50/50 helped more on average than eater's global 30% increased.
All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0.
All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this.
