This Needs to Be Said

Other peoples.
But good to have you back nonetheless - I need at least 5 threads a day I can roll my eyes to. It's been very quiet without you.

Oh those sweet, sweet lies that you tell.

This is a video game, if a content is not fun, you can simply don't do it. If you still do, then thank you, you're playing the part of those who like it and encourage SE creating more content than this.

Any feedback is only a minority. SE will trust statistics more than any feedback.

Unless you make a mandatory poll on logging, you can't force people to give you feedback. It's not the devs' fault if so few people use the forum.

I'm not asking you to change your opinion. We can consider a content as valuable asset, even if we don't directly run it. Me, I don't do Savage nor PvP, nor housing, nor Gold Saucer, but I admit that it helps giving some players a goal that dungeon and primals alone wouldn't cover. So, it's good for them. On the other hand, I really doubt enough people play Lords Of Verminion to consider it an important part of the game.

My problem is not that people don't like it, but that the fact that they don't like is valid enough to ask forchanging it completely, damn be those who like it, or even deleting it.

Again, the only thing I'd say you're wrong about is "doing a content you don't like" but that's not specific to Eureka.

Oi...

Here's the thing about 'if it's not fun, don't play it': relics are tied behind it. So matter what, if you want those relics, you have no choice but to run this. There's the trap right there. If the devs are simply going by participation numbers, and are ignoring whether players are satisfied or not, then naturally, they'll be encouraged to do it more. Even if it means irritating their player base. If players like you value Eureka and you enjoy it, then that's fine. I've not once said that players who enjoy it shouldn't continue to run it. If Eureka and future content like this were deleted in the future, yes, I myself would be fine with that. Again, if people want to counter this, they are more than welcome to make their own support threads for it. Coming here only for the sole purpose of saying that myself and others who dislike or hate Eureka are either in the wrong or shouldn't be making threads like these are just wasting time, in my opinion. Not necessarily directing that at you, to be clear.

In regards to feedback, you are right, you can't force people to give you feedback. But you can definitely encourage it from a dev's standpoint. They could easily set a system message every time you enter Eureka for a specific time period, say two weeks, with a simple message: "We encourage our fellow adventurers to leave feedback on Eureka Anemos/Pagos by visiting our Official Forums". Simple and sweet. Or creating a poll on the Lodestone, that way they have to use their account. They could even improve the poll by locking it to players who have actually visited Eureka/Pagos for the most accurate feedback. If they were so inclined to do it.
