Otherwise the only reason Bozja and Eureka get people is because there's a progression system involved. Otherwise the endgame of that content because extremely lackluster pretty quickly. Yeah there's completing the field notes for a mount but that only gets you so far.
Well, there are definitely substantial things that they could do - If they actually had, for example, critical engagements then they could tie this in with something such as Wondrous Tales to then encourage people to go out and interact beyond just relegating it all purely to instanced dungeons or trials.

It's half a matter of having the systems in place beyond just FATEs and expanding the already existing systems, but equally having the incentive factor built in those systems. FATEs are nice but beyond a point, they do get stale, and this also pretty much expands to shared FATEs. Sure, extending them to the older expansions and the base game would be a great start.

But shared FATEs are one of those where the interaction dies pretty quickly. People were doing it in troves then once they were capped it stopped, this was something that appealed to... Not everyone. Perhaps, they could aid in this by being more aggressive with the rewards, or really... Stop being afraid of only having a few select systems for particular avenues... e.g., gearing, or even obtaining rarer items from maps.
