This Needs to Be Said

[Reynhart]

relics are tied behind it. So matter what, if you want those relics, you have no choice but to run this.

But since obtaining the relic is already your choice, you have the choice not to run this content.
It's exactly the same as every other weapon besides Tome. If you want Byakko weapon, you do Byakko EX, if you want an Empyrean weapon, you have to do HoH, if you want a Diamond weapon, you do Omega Savage. You're the one giving that much importance to the relic, so you're the one forcing you to do the content, so again, it's on you, especially when they made perfectly clear from the get go that this would be a "Eureka weapon".

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.

And they're right to do so, since again, if you're not satisfied, no one forces you to do it. And they can't have a decent sample on how many people are "satisfied".

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.

That's why I make myself clear that you're not in the wrong for not liking it

But you can definitely encourage it from a dev's standpoint.

Color me pesimistic but I doubt "encouraging" would be enough. But, frankly, I wouldn't be against a mandatory poll at login. Since Eureka is clearly the most divisive part of SB, it would help having a clear tendency, wether it favors me or you.
