"Eureka", but why?

[RiyahArp]

Flawed as Eureka may be, I will happily take it over grinding old dungeons 5,000 times for Poetics. I want to actually play my jobs at level 70, not be synced back down to 50 where many jobs feel weak. Not to mention, there is only so many times you can be forced back into Copper Bell before you want to jump off a ledge.

...you literally do nothing for 75% in eureka but stand around. It doesn't matter how high level you are, you only need maybe 8 people out of the entire train to kill most pops. Once the boss pops, you barely use any abilities on them; its just straight dps. You can't even heal your party members, unless they are close in elemental level to the boss; it's just one or two hits. You can't DPS on many bosses if you are more than 6 levels away.

Eureka is boring as hell. Even the intended way is ridiculous; enemies have all of one mechanic one person needs to stun and the only real difficulty is whether or not adds that aggro spawn on top of your camp during night or weather. Soloing is just an endurance test, and is only feasible in a small way due to spamming anemos potions. It gives you carpal tunnel syndrome.

I'd rather do dungeons. In fact I do; i ignore eureka for the most part now. You might as well just have endgame gear from the gold saucer; you do more in gameplay with less waiting in there, and more risk.
