What's your first impression of Eureka?

*screech*

Well aren't you touchy.

No it is not the same, if you think old Dynamis is the same as this diadem 3.0 and you claim you play ffxi, I question how good your memory is. First off you had to approach each city differently, sometimes you had to approach different NMs differently, Some need sac pulling, some low man groups took 2 or 3 blms and solo statues as they slept stuff, call outs, stun rotations on scrops, make sure the avatar stays slept or be one shoted. DO NOT DARE compare this mindless zerfest to Dynamis, they are very very different. A long grind for something does not make the play experience of the 2 the same.

Also Fyi the grind is still different, you still got gear as drops, you did not "grind" long for gear. The weapon took a long time, not gear.

First, it sounds like your Dynamis strategies differed from the ones I ended up with. We still did just fine, but armor took longer partly because everyone wanted everything. You should be thankful you don't have to cast lots for protean crystals in Eureka, but you're not. You come across as an entitled brat.

clearly you remember the experience wrong if you think they are the same.

No, actually I don't. We just used different strategies.

i345* weapon and i350 for armor, both armor and weapon are outdated on release. At release people had unlimited easy access to 350 armor, one job to have a 360 weapon (causal play) while hard core play had a heavy mix of 370 and 360 gear. Releasing gear this low in a huge time gate time sink is no content.

They could done 2.0 relic pages for these without the diadem area and have the same effect while saving 17 months of development. We did not get what we paid for for stormblood.

You know, most of that development was probably making sure an instance with 140 or so people actually worked. You're just mad because you're too used to instant gratification with this game and think you're entitled to demand things from the devs when you pay for the privilege of playing the game they made. A privilege you squander by screaming at people on the Internet like a hooligan. People with your attitude would not be missed if you quit the game entirely. Maybe instead of showing off your lack of humility and common decency, you could present your points with politeness. Better chance of you keeping/earning respect that way.
