Eureka wasn't so bad, but endgame in ffxiv is lacking without eureka

I'm... kinda confused. Where did all the people who loved Eureka come from all of a sudden? I thought it was content that was utterly despised for being shallow and poorly thought out, despite being an interesting concept. Sure, Baldesion Arsenal was cool and I'm glad I got my Demi-Ozma mount before the content died, but the rest was... not great. If you miss the 'Eureka experience', you can literally go to the final Shadowbringers area and just kill overworld mobs for two hours. That's literally the entire Eureka experience. Kill 100 overworld mobs, kill the one thinly-veiled hunt mark rebranded as a notorious monster, repeat ad infinitum until you're either level-capped or your arms fall off. Definitely not looking forward to the new one coming up in this expansion.

we were in Eureka while people complained about it. I do agree the enjoyment was pretty time-sensitive; I havent stepped inside ever since completing BA and finishing 3 relics, and that was maybe 2-3 weeks after Hydatos came out. I can't imagine going back in at this point, I would have to be in a severe content drought to be compelled to go back in for glam.

personally, it was fun for the same reason Borderlands is fun: it's only fun bc I had friends to play with.

The problem with people who don't have a clue is they can wipe the entire raid. Only takes one mistake at Ozma to wipe everyone. I certainly hope we get more content like this it was pretty amazing. I don't raid but this although a bit intimidating at first was a blast for me.

as chaotic as it was, I really enjoyed 1-6 people trying to organize 48-56 people in a battle [in the Baldesion Discord]. It didn't always work but eventually, we came together as a team and succeeded. It felt more of a triumph than any Savage I've done so far.

That is not an Eureka experience I know. In Eureka, there was a lot of danger zone that you cannot trespass unless you sneak in like a ninja. Thanks to that aspects, it made a lot of memorable experience in Eureka. Also, there was a lot of people in the zone that personally made me felt like the content was alive. Each different people would have a different purpose in that zone, for example, you would have a group that is farming for challenge logs, NM trains, bunnies, and quests. All these relates to grinding mobs for hours, but that's the WHOLE point of it, it is an eureka content and most IMPORTANTLY, an M M O R P G. Yes, there are better ways to handle things in Eureka to grind with some creativity, but you'll always have to grinds mobs. Not to mention, Eureka was pretty interactive. A lot of people would talk to each other and If I am gonna have to grind mobs for hours and hours, I rather do it in an OPEN WORLD with hundreds of players than do DUNGEONS with crappy players who doesn't even know how to play their job and waste 25 minutes of my time.
