What's your first impression of Eureka?

Can someone please tell me what page the community team response is on? Need to see if any news will make me change my mind about not subbing again. I just logged into game again for the first time since this last Tuesday because the hours I spent in Eureka completely killed my enjoyment of the game as a whole, even making me bored of content outside Eureka. Prior to Eureka I was enjoying my time back in the game having resubbed since early February. I even spent over $40 on mog station and of course $60 or more on Stormblood Collector's Edition. I figured a week away from game might be enough for me to enjoy the non-Eureka content again like I did prior to Eureka, but I still feel the same after logging in after a week. I've never in my 19 year history of MMOs played content so bad that it made me bored to play all other content in the game that I was enjoying before. This is why I wish I had never stepped foot in Eureka. More than $100 wasted.

So I'm letting my sub lapse. But might return if Eureka is overhauled or my mood returns for the non-Eureka stuff. Eureka is probably the single worst and laziest piece of content I've ever played in my 19 year history of MMOs, including f2p, b2p, and p2p MMOs. No single feature/piece of content in any MMO has ever made me lose interest in all other features/content in the game, even stuff I was enjoying. Usually after trying it and not liking it I can just never touch it again and return to playing the parts of game I do enjoy. But not so here and I have no idea why. One theory I have is that it's the fact that Eureka strips all the good away and focuses on the bare-bones worst aspects of FFXIV. It highlights how basic and bare the classes and combat is if you take away the interesting mechanics, objectives, etc and just fight mobs for hours on end. It's like an MMO at its absolute minimum, aka no substance, like a skeleton ripped from its body, or a foundation with no house. So maybe somehow I'm unable to look at any battle content in the game the same now, and battle content is required for most things. Not sure, just a theory on how Eureka killed the entire game for me.
