Please stop making Eureka

It's optional content if people don't like it boycott it and let us who enjoy it deal with pain.

Optional content that has the Relic shoved behind it; optional content that was supposed to be one of the main attractions of the expansion, and which has failed spectacularly. Not to mention optional content with various vanity items locked behind it that the developers knew people would want (like the Pyros housing items). People are well within their rights to express their disdain when the developers have consistently ignored all the constructive criticisms players have made about Eureka. Don’t like it? Don’t read the complaint threads.

Agreed. It's also 'optional content' that takes development resources away from content that more people might enjoy. Frankly I don't mind SE trying something new and trying to get it to work, my biggest complaint with this MMO has always been that there's not enough innovation to keep my interest sustained outside of roleplay. The latter of which is dictated entirely by the community I find myself in and has very little to do with SE aside from them providing zones to visit and the MMO to cavort through. The issue here is that Eureka isn't something new. It's them attempting to relive the glory days of XI in the worst possible way, and with Pyros it'll be their /fifth/ attempt to shove this unpopular system down everyone's throat with an increasing amount of carrots thrown in each time.

Being upset that that money isn't going to something actually innovative or at the very least improvements to serve infrastructure is totally reasonable. To be angry that content people desperately want is also being used as the incentive because the developers know full well most people wouldn't touch it otherwise is also reasonable. I personally feel insulted that SE expects the Relic and the glamour items I actually want to be enough incentive to bolster their numbers for this train wreck, and it's why I refuse to touch it. I get liking Eureka. I cannot and will not like it because I find it horrendously designed, but I know my tastes aren't the same as everyone else's. I don't think it's unreasonable however to give the niche amount of people who like Eureka a smaller offering like Ultimate was for Raiders, if they cannot put themselves to the task of actually revamping the content.

Which you're welcome to do just as the players who don't enjoy it are welcome to express their opinions to SE.

Though for someone who claims to enjoy it, I'm a bit confused on why you associate it with pain.
