I just started Eureka.

[Nayout]

A lot of people play both without any real reward. The mechanics are inherently fun. Similar to how some people like joining clear parties with no reward, do speed runs, etc. Etc. If the content is fun you will revisit just for the sake of it.

I also agree rewards are a game mechanic and that farming type content is perfectly valid. But it’s also valid that a huge part of the community didn’t mind the farming of previous relics but absolutely loath eureka. It’s also valid that given the wide spread complaints and disregard for the content (I would say only 5-10% of the people I know in game have bothered with eureka past pagos) it should be understood that this content was not well received (NA at least).

Considering they plan on making a 5.0 eureka I understand people are losing their shit.

If you look at where the discussion started, you can see that it started because one of Eureka's complaints can be applied to all the content of the game which is simply to attribute a problem that has the whole game to an area.

I hate the grinding of Eureka but I love that it is the only area where the community of the game feels a true community and not a lot of people who only talk with their group of friends.
