FFXIV's current state

[Reynhart]

are you even aware that devs don't do bad feature on purpose ?

Not bad, but definitely things that they don't have complete confidence in. Especially since they have to deal with JP, NA and EU mentalities.

Yeah... I can totaly imagine the staff going :

Hey guys lets put millions and month of work even if we have to reduce the quantity of other dugeon in a feature player can't stand but will maybe work well because we will put the relic they quite like in it.

Hey guys, we did Diadem last expansion, and it didn't go well. I really want to do another wide open instance, but if we really want it to work, we'd better give a higher incentive for people to run it.

Are you even sure you understand the problem people get with Eureka ? What is the point your trying to make anyway ?!

I do, but the reasoning is dumb. If you don't like a content, just don't do it. People just need to realize that different content caters for different taste, so Eureka might not be for them. If you value the relic that much that you still do it, you only have yourself to blame.
For example, I despise tome farming, so if the Relic would require thousands of tomestones again, I'd simply wouldn't do it. And if you could buy the current relic with Tomestone, it would just kill Eureka, because people are lazy.
