I still don't get the end goal of the operator feedback loop. You farm for cores in order to improve standing with the Quills, who in turn give you access to amps and buffs for your operator, which you use in order to fight Eidolons, that drop cores as well as components for Arcanes, which you can apply to your operator (or Warframe) to improve their performance... so that it's easier to kill more Eidolons? Or, you can forego the process and instead farm Focus points with your Warframe, to invest into your operator, so that they can better participate in the above loop. And for all of this, you're rewarded with what are essentially mods that are only active some of the time.

Now that is the real Sacrifice.
