    The problem with the design is that it's a mish mash of conflicting goals.

    Enix has always had a bit of an issue with trying to shove opposite goals all into the same instance. Things like the accursed hoard system alongside fast alt leveling in PotD/HoH. Gatherering and battling in the Diadem. In Eureka we have players farming Warped boxes, players farming FATES for their relic, players farming Claws for Zuzu, players farming Bunnies for the mount and then bang in the middle a raid that requires 40% of the instance to drop what they're doing. It just isn't going to happen, everyone's been split into different objectives.

    Pair it with the fact that it's difficult content which isn't everyone's cup of tea while Eureka itself it quite simple in terms of combat, and you're very unlikely to get a full 56 man group from the 144 in there.

    actualy it can only hold 1/3rd the instance, i hear it scales down somewhat as well. Hydatos has little else going on on purpose, its mostly a leveling and releveling zone for people to attempt BA. Hydatos has the least going on of any eureka zone, its just designed to be the lobby for BA really.

    and its not really incredibly harder than the hardest content in Eureka, its just that you cant get raised. It doesnt have a tight dps check, you can gear up to make it much easier, just have to learn mechanics, thats it.
