Sure i have more faith in the developers to make adjustments if necessary than listen to you. Heard the same old same old for Eureka and it turned out pretty well.

I don't think SE would learn that lesson. They don't care if we like the content or if we're happy or if we finish our relic or not, only that we spend X amount of time trying to do it.
What I find funny is that people deliberately forget that nothing is set in stone, especially in an MMO. CT is like a million years old and people still run it to this day. How do you explain that. Who's to say we won't get it added to DF with a nice reward further down the line?
And I'm happy we a starting more and more to see new stuff and not always the same boring stuff. I appreciate Ocean Fishing, Bozja and the Emerald Weapon fight. It's high time to at least break free a little from that tired old formula.
Well maybe you ought to try it. Was some of the most fun content for me and for many others. Perhaps not the time to give it a go given everyone is doing the new content right now but I somewhat recently took an alt through it and got her an Hydatos WHM relic. I'd love to do BA with her at some point.
That's not to say there weren't people unhappy with it but hey that is what makes the world go around. I will say that I am far from thrilled having to run ST, Void and Rab and somehow call that special relic content.
We can certainly agree that Castrum has it's issues and it's beyond me why they haven't adjusted the rewards there significantly but that's not to say they won't if they are forced to have to do it at some point.
If I'm being perfectly honest I think I might actually prefer eureka when there's 20-40 people in a zone as opposed to 144. I feel like the people who are complaining about eureka being dead or empty haven't actually gone into eureka. Or they went in once, didn't see a train, assumed it was literally impossible and left.
I've actually had enough of FATEs, NMs, skirmishes, and CEs. These kinds of "open world content" are just not for me. I prefer instanced battle contents that I can queue into any time I want rather than contents that make me try to spawn enemies or wait for them to spawn by themselves, often at an inconvenient time (like when I'm watching a cutscene or doing other things).
In fact, I don't know of any open world content in any MMO that I've ever liked except possibly for guildleve, and again, that's because I can choose when to start a guildleve.
Eureka has been fun for the most part (Pagos I was really not a fan of which is a shame because I love snow zones), but yes I agree that running ST, Mhach, and Ivalice is not thrilling content and you kind of are forced to run these because the alternatives CEs and Fates have such a low drop rate its not even worth your time grinding on them and that seriously needs to be buffed.
always find people in all Eureka zones during peak hours
either spawning fates or Rabbit fates.
