Eureka is still ruined because of Pagos

[Vahlnir]

Making steps towards what will be the best weapon at the end of this expansion. And if one doesn't care about that, then it doesn't matter how easy or hard it is to progress in Eureka.

True, but one could also argue that it's not worth the effort. Pagos is certainly not casual friendly, and that is what the relic always has been. Sure it required a bit of a grind, but it was always able to be done casually. The Anemos grind was casual...perhaps too casual. But they could have expanded on that instead of saying "welp, guess we need to make everyone's life hell in Pagos!" and decided to put RNG everywhere and make it tough to navigate. The teleport crystals I understand. It's incentive to level up to provide an ease of access to certain areas. But removing our ability to mount and such (after earning it in the same content several levels prior) is ridiculous. And they definitely upped the mob density and how much they move around.
