    It IS an MMO. If people want to do the content, they can grab a group of friends and hop in. Thats what I've been doing with Anemos. I have 2 friends that absolutely refused to do it after they stepped in and killed a couple mobs by themselves.

    They actually enjoy it now when we've been doing it as a group.

    I also think some people go in with the mindset of "this is a grind, I hate grinds, I hate this."

    Anemos is widely considered decent. Most people complaining about Eureka are referring to Pagos, which took considerably longer and forced a very boring grind. I did it as a group but killing hundreds of brain dead trash mobs with zero mechanics isn't what I call fun nor did the friends accompanying me. You're talking to someone with multiple Animas (before nerfs), Savage clears, Ultimate and grind heavy achievements. I have no issues with grinds. I have issue with boring, unimaginative grinds. Pyros may be better but I have to slog through Pagos to even see it.

    I like the grind if it's meaningful, but relics mean almost nothing in the grand scheme of this game. XI's grind and relics amounted to more and lasting results, and if you make it through anemos I will be rooting for you guys, BUT I will be very (pleasantly) surprised if you get past pagos with them at this stage, also don't forget to try out bunnies for your o-hat and get your cassie earring, fun times ^_-.

    I actually really enjoyed Anemos—although, only with friends. It was boring as sin solo. I went into Pagos with friends. Hated every second of it and I haven’t gone back. So “go with friends” doesn’t always work.

    I’m going to repeat something I said before to someone who said something like this:
