What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Kaonis]

Anyone who got things like relic and mythic weapons in FINAL FANTASY XI at their relevant times knows that Eureka's basically that, but potentially faster. There are so many posts about how Eureka is "boring" or "not worth the time," but quite frankly, I disagree, and I feel the demand for instant gratification is too strong with this player base.

You clearly never played XI then. Relic and mythic weapons were worthwhile gear for years not weeks to 1-2 months. The current relic isn't even competitive with the tomestone gear of this patch, and probably won't see an ilvl increase until 4.3 at the earliest and possibly even 4.35 a mere month or 2 before the ilvl on gear jumps up again.

The posts about it not being worth the time is in regard to what I just said, there are easier ways to obtain equivalent or better gear now. And posts about it being boring is in regard to it's nothing but a map with mob to mindlessly kill to pop NM's to zerg rush. It's essentially Diadem 1.0 except you can't camp in one spot for the RNG big mobs to kill you have to run around which doesn't ignore the core fact that its everything people said they didn't want.

I enjoy this Eureka. It’s not perfect, but I like the concept; and it’s leagues better than Diadem.

Are we even playing the same game? Eureka is literally Diadem 1.0 except with a pointless elemental and leveling system tacked on. Only instead of camping dinosaur island to spawn the bigger mobs you really want, you have to move around to grind mobs everywhere to spawn the mobs you really want. It is so similar it's insulting.
