OH GOD NO...

[Beckett]

In 5 years of playing this game, after a cash shop being added, housing being utterly screwed up, and all sorts of other minor issues, this is the first thing that has legitimately made me consider unsubbing. I don't want to play a game that insists on diverting resources to something that the players very vocally do not want!

The vocal players, in this case, are very much a minority. Eureka was well received by many players and is consistently active when I enter any of the maps. If you and the other critics do not like it, that's fine - but many do and have no issue with resources being allocated towards such content.

You can have Eureka all you want. As long as they don't tie the Relic weapon to it.

I'm fine with Eureka continuing as long as it wont hold relics/dyeable AF gear hostage again. Cause that was crap.

no, we want the relic in eureka because its now more than a weapon, it has a back story beyond grinding old content. When i look at my weapon it has meaning and memories and not just atma grind. Memories in pagos jumping off the cliff walking past dragons, Zuzu farming and laughing at the good times when instance hopping looking for it. Naked and reflect farming. All those things is what makes it fun. 2.0/3.0 doesnt have any fond memories at all because less than 10% of the player base even did it. Now we increased it by at least 50%.

it has a back story ... When i look at my [Eureka] weapon it has meaning and memories

It's really funny you say that, because for the ARR relics the whole thing was about the weapons and where they came from. They started as relic weapons, then moved to Zodiak weapons, all of which had lore and story and meaning within the game. Later storylines interact with those stories, like how the BLM relic weapon story gets a twist in the SB job quests.
The Anima weapon was about you growing a sentient weapon and fighting so it can grow and evolve with you overseeing its progress.
The Eureka weapons used the AF3 sets, which did have lore and meaning, and completely ignored them.

I get you like this sort of content more but what you said is factually incorrect.

Yes, I can't wait to tell the story of my Pagos weapons, forged in the foothills running between two dragon spawns, killing them for hours on end until I was able to form enough crystals to complete a weapon. Or how I spent countless hours farming more light for crystals spent on a dice roll to determine the stats of my weapon.

The ARR and HW relics actually had some lore and background to them and felt far less like " Krile and Gerolt's Excellent Adventures in Grinding".

I'd rather them cease making relic weapons period than have another one held hostage by Eureka 2.0.

I can pull numbers out of thin air too look:

300% of the overall population are brunette suncats with one blue eye and one red eye ! Wow !

The thing is a lot of people are there for the relic only. The question is whether or not the relic will be locked behind it again in the next expansion. That will be a part of how successful or not it'll be, I think.

[Metsonm]

I can only pray the relic isn't involved in this again, because that was awful.
