Never do BA again on NA servers

It sounds like the main problem is the NA players.

Maybe this will provide some incentive for the players to cooperate more.

To be honest OP, I don't know your experiences very well, and am sorry if you had to deal with such things. The BA Discords already put a heavy check on toxicity and the like, plus I think that SE needs to rethink this design for BA regarding portal sniping. Right now, it's TOO EASY to get into BA because you wait the 5 minutes Earth Time. If they really wanted to gate it, they should consider the Stabilizers instead of having them only give you priority access. HAVE THEM GIVE YOU ACCESS ONLY, Nothing Else. Make BA require Stabilizers so people have to put in work to get that privilege to go into BA.

Yes, and I doubt it would. (at least for EU)

If it does, it would be great, but I don't see it happening soon over at the EU servers.

Language barriers (multiple), Discord groups practically ignoring anyone that doesn't play ball and the fact that you can get killed by other players (meteors/cleave (Meteors will most likely lead into you being thrown into hyda, but it's still a death you probably don't have any control over), which will set you back in experience, requiring you to level back up (which isn't hard or slow, but you still have to do it).
Makes for content most people either join with a Discord group or accidentally stumble into, just not knowing what awaits them on the other side of the portal.

While I will look into doing it the intended way (gathering a single party at most and going in do complete it with other random parties). I don't expect a lot of succes.

Taking responsibility and listening to other players hasn't been the strongest part of the EU community, people that actively communicate with others not in their FC are few and far between. (and honestly the ToS changes don't promote change for the better in that.)

I agree and that is the whole idea of Eureka, to be more like an old school MMO or FFXI. Community has been taken out of MMO's, newer players probably don't know anything other than Duty Finder or similar grouping aides. They are trying to bring a little of that back, where people have to work together to solve problems.
