if you're arguing Eureka isn't content, idk what to tell you. If we want to continue to break it down piece by piece, Yes, the leveling system is just a time gate to prolong the content and is "useless". But so is any leveling system in any game, if im forced to think of it that way.

to me, your question feels like its poking at the very fundamentals of this game's creation/existence. "why does FFxiv or Eureka exist?". to me that's the same as "why does Savage/Ultimate exist, or lalafells".

I am not smart enough to answer these questions.
