    Make people do eureka for them, it’s not like the game has any better content.

    I'm pretty sure the drop rate on those changed to be much higher. I ran a ton of Eureka back when it came out. I think out of my FC, only a small handful of us ever got the drop back in SB. A bunch of us jumped back for "fun" - killed Simurgh twice - dropped to the whole group. Twice. Of course, this could be just insane luck... but going from dozens of kills in 4.X with a few drops among like 20+ people to an entire party getting 16 pairs in two kills?

    I don't know some other Eureka items have higher drop rates as well. Maybe?

    As for sprint... there aren't many places you need to go to in town that takes more than 20s from aetheryte to NPC/location. Frankly, I think Strider boots are a waste. We don't have a macro to /equip feet "Strider Boots" to put them on ANY job. We have to make a gearset to put them on - meaning, I'd have to switch jobs to utilize them. If there is a way to /equip feet, please correct me.

    Eureka is peak content.

    Even to this day it is more rewarding than any other piece of long term content in the game

    Need Gil? Bunny fates.
    Need Glam? Elemental sets.
    Need that raiding itch to be scratched? BA.

    Oh.. and the gear obtained in Eureka actually HELPS you in Eureka. CHARACTER PROGRESSION! OMG

    While I applaud your enthusiasm - everything mentioned is only usable within Eureka. The rest is glam. And I know "glam is the end-game" there isn't much application for Eureka outside of it. And this is coming from someone that thoroughly enjoyed Eureka and thought it was a great addition to the game.

    Also Eureka glams are hardly for everyone, no style of glam is, as someone who enjoys femme dresses and cute outfits, not a single Eureka glam works for me.
