Isn't this kind of proving the point, though? The fact that third party applications even need to be used because of the developer oversight in future-proofing content? Especially content they keep insisting on tying relic weapons to?



I feel that was why they designed Castrum and Dalriada the way they are over how it was done in Eureka's BA. To not need 3rd party organization for the majority of people. You also get echo in both of them if the party size is below 21.
DR Savage took the best of the limited resources of BA, with a savage mode, and made it a queue system over the free-for-all shout fights over people taking portals in Hydatos with 3rd-party organized groups.
Complete improvement over anything they done in Eureka.


Delumbrum is so great.
It lacks something to be truly the one big raid of XIV - Multiple routes.
You see each time these platforms and structures outside the corridor - Use them. Make it so each time you go in a diferent set of teleporters will activate - Taking you to diferent boss fights with diferent mechanics and combinations all times, ultimately reaching the Queen.
This is the closest this game has ever been to have something at least i could consider a TRUE RAID. Savage and Ultimate are merely boss fights.

And what exactly is your point though?
In 2.0 and 3.0 we were forced to grind old content for relic, and people cried how relic deserve its own content. And that's exactly they delivered in 4.0 and 5.0 - original content for relic ... and you complain about that. What, does doing those books and solo old dungeon for light is what you would preferr?
Also, there isn't much you can do to "future-proofing" in an MMO. The large bunch will always move to the latest content. Look at your daily roullete that still have you run content from 7 years ago, THAT is future proofing. I'll pick new original content any day.
Not everyone run these things because they want the relic, or done after they get their relic. It's not like they only drop relic tokens, the dev adds enough things along side it to make it have other uses such as gears, pets, mounts and other drops. I still ran for a bit after done with my relic because I can still make like 200k a day from the drop I got from it.
And lastly, your point about third party application doesn't stick either. We're in 2021, stuffs like that are simply part of the eco system pretty much for every games, even non MMO. You seem to suggest their usage is a sign of an issue. 10-15 years ago I have to stand shouting in Stormwind or Origamar for hours on several days to get enough interest and organize a run for old contents, so I'm sure glad I don't have to do that now if I ever want to run Eureka. They are simply modern day conveniences.
