This is quite disingenuous as it ignores what else released alongside Eureka.

4.2 - New tier; Eureka was brand new, thus curiosity won out
4.3 - Monster Hunter Collaboration
4.4 - New tier

Basically, Eureka has never released without another major piece of content. Furthermore, people are inherently curious, especially given the reception Eureka has had.
