    (( protip: you can't shove a bunch of stuff into one piece of bad content and then call it a success because lots of people do that content since that's the only way to get certain things ))
    Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean many others didn't. Overall, it was successful.

    It was overwhelmingly disliked. Read what I wrote again. You can't call something successful when it's the only source of certain items, thereby forcing players to participate in that content. It's not about whether I, personally, liked or disliked it. Which, you'll notice, I didn't specify which camp I fall into.

    To play devil's advocate - How do you know it was overwhelmingly disliked? Because Reddit and the OF? Both only represent a microfraction of the playerbase, and both generally have incredibly biased points of view regarding content or game strategies. The only ones who know if Eureka was a success (to the best of my knowledge) is the devs. They can see how many went into Eureka, how many people completed parts of it, completed all of it, and revisited for more gear. So if the devs say it's a success when they have the data, then it is. If they go in another direction, then it wasnt. But as much as you disagree with Arngrim, neither of you know its a success without those numbers.

    Point is if no one can provide those numbers, then its a moot to say "Oh, its a success/failure!" or "Everyone hated/loved the content!"

    Eureka as a whole wasn't disliked, Pagos was disliked. Anemos was passable, while Pyros was a step in the right direction. Hydatos wasn't really anything to write home about, but plenty of people enjoyed the Baldesion Arsenal.
