    I'm not very hopeful for change though, there have been plenty of suggestions of ways this content could be made more engaging but none of the fixes so far provide any variety in game-play for people who do not like the grind.

    Unlike previous relics it looks like the SB relic will be available for a very limited time, unless people are determined enough to grind through it solo, but I very much doubt there will be many who could stomach that. It's worrying that so many resources have been poured into this, yet I've heard nothing from the devs to indicate they have considered longevity or keeping Eureka (and the SB relic) viable after the expansion.
    This was actually a major problem I saw once they showed how the Eureka systems would operate. There's zero foresight. If you miss the train, when the content is relevant and people are actually doing it, you're probably hosed. I can go back and do the older relics and only queue times stall me, provided I don't simply unsync the older dungeons. If you're late to Eureka you're probably out of luck.

    Similar to trying to get a Kinna weapon as a glamour. Despite being a multiple years old weapon, you're expected to run POTD 51-100 several times to get 90/90. For an outdated glamour weapon.

    Except that people still run PotD to level, there will always be sprouts who will run it, sure it will be slower without a more dedicated party but still doable. Can't quite say the same about Eureka's relics.

    My DRK alt waiting for three hours to no avail for 91-100 proves you wrong. If it isn't 1-10 or 51-60, good luck getting it to pop. As an aside, this was from 5-9pm EST, during prime time.

    Or you can solo queue those floors and get all the aetherpool you need without waiting for a party.
