What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Fynlar]

We have crafting and gathering, two entire systems (three if you split FSH vs. BTN/MIN) that are by definition solo-play. Job quests are 100% solo play. Just because this is an MMO doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to go to the bathroom alone.

Yeah, no. I'm talking about *combat* content that is reasonably soloed, not "HELM" crap.

Job quests are extremely finite and don't really count. When Eureka hit, my job quests were all 100% done.

I'm still able to kill stuff on my own in eureka, but i dont do it, why should I? I didnt purchase FF XIV to play it solo. You can play Monopoly solo on PC, but is it any fun? They added multiplayer content to a multiplayer game, and people are complaing (you can still solo it though, keep in mind) .. whats next? I cant solo Sigma Savage qq?
As i already stated, eureka has many flaws u can criticise (i still enjoy it), but the fact you criticise a MMO for requiring a party is just hilarious. If you critique an ice-hockey team because they play ice-hockey u missed the point.

I can and will criticize a MMO that forces you to group to do anything of consequence. Again, it was a valid critique many people had with FFXI in the early going and is why it was gradually eased up on (up until recent years where we got the Trust system that more or less replaces actual PCs for most things other than the hardest content). Even then, there are still trivial activities that for some reason still arbitrarily require a group of 3 PCs just to attempt, which is just silly nowadays and definitely earns my critique.
