    I stand in awe at the number of people unwilling to simply dismiss Eureka as trash. It's always a "it's bad but I hope," or "maybe some day" when it really should be an uncompromising "directly contradicts the impetus for A Realm Reborn."

    You don't "Reborn" content by bringing back designs superceded a decade past.

    I think the problem is that the way the game is designed only exacerbates the pitfall experienced in both versions of gameplay. we are being asked to chain grind monsters without the socializing, for a reward that is outdated with easier efforts, and a reward that doesn't do anything impressive or grant anything other than look pretty. Is it worth busting your hands for a glowy weapon that is of limited effectiveness?

    "At odds with the design of the combat and socializing systems" is a longer way of saying trash. Even if the reward was second to none, it would still be trash content at odds with the combat and socializing systems in this particular game.

    This isn't even bringing in the garbage with antiquated systems that were replaced years ago for ironclad reasons to *not* do things the way they were done before.
