Eureka - The Time Sink

[Laerad3993]

Hey, they have increased the exp bonus within Eureka, so now less time is required to level up. I hope you can get to lvl20 soon.

Oh good, instead of the 4 days it took to hit 20, now it’s 3!

Oh no, Squeenix is forcing me to play the game. Make it stop. I hate games.

Wanting to be able to advance at their own pace, even if slower, doesn't mean they don't want to play the game. My friend in game often needs to take breaks to take care of things, and the eureka model is horrid because you can't do that; you have to stay close to the pc to react to a fate when it is up, or you constantly play chaining mobs. If she needs to put the dogs out, she can't even stay in eureka; it boots you if you are afk for ten minutes. So if you can't devote a decent amount of unbroken time per night, it gets frustrating.

It is really impossible to please everyone.
If your friend need constantly AFK, why not join a NM train.
As long as s/he is not constant afk and leeching, no one really cares.

After lvl 20, exp doesnt even matter anymore, it is about amount of protean crystals you are getting.
It used to be 1 for 20 chain, 5 to 10 for 30 chain, and 10 to 15 for 40 chain ..etc.
They already boost amount of the crystals for chain bonus with this hotfix

They need to go afk for semi-decent breaks for real life on occasion. They aren't afk all the time, but the train never stops or afks, and the zone prevents you from going back to town and afking for more than ten minutes. But if you were doing normal relics, you can just break after each roulette or dungeon, and you don't take up space in a party or premade. She plays the game fine, but we don't have parties agreeing to take breaks like they did back in FFXI, and the fate train party never needs to stop for a person to replace another with.

It's not that they don't play the game, it's more that the style of play forces you to be at keys for long periods of time.
