Things they have been doing in Eureka as time went on.

    The NMs in Eureka maps scale based on instance population. I've killed the big NM's in Anemos, Pagos, and Pyros with a nearly empty map. It was actually easier because of lack of lag due to not having 100+ people spamming things and higher visibility in my case because there were less skill/spell effects going on since I don't bother filtering at all.
    Also the fact that the game assume that since there's more people there will be more fighting the nm, which isn't always true.
    Was in a group one time on a new map and they were wondering if it was even possible to do an nm with basically just two parties worth of people on the whole map, and it was the fastest nm kill I've ever seen.

    Course less people means less nm prep going on...

    Acctually, i think/hope in the future, when only ppl that want to do the content to get more relics or whatever are inside the instances the afk population will get significantly less (maybe im to optimistic).

    But yes, the nms scale good.
    I happened to be in an instance only with my friend. We managed to spawn Kalamari and we killed it. Then we spammed bunnys, great time.

    Less people also results in less trigger monsters needing to be killed before it pops so the people actually trying to pop the NM end up needing to do less work.
