    Do not use "I don't know, that's the publisher's job", as the publisher appears to feel they're getting a good return for their investments with the current content.

    Can you use other MMORPG content releases to point to one or two subscription-based games that maintain the content schedule you're expecting?

    Does a long grind = content in your mind? If that's the case, I highly recommend Path of Exile.
    Anything to keep player engagement levels up.

    People look down on content like Eureka, but Eureka, to this day, is still active and thriving because the content lasts longer than the patch it released on.

    Island Sanctuary had so much potential, but in reality what we got was 1 week of '5 minutes maintenance on the island' to get max level then never touch it again.
    Variant Dungeons too had massive potential, but what we got was 'get mount, never touch again'.

    The rewards? Overly expensive Materia that is easily obtained in other ways and a couple of mounts.

    What reasons would i have to do Eureka in 2023.
    1. It is insanely good GIL/h if you farm bunny fates.
    2. Armor and Weapons that are Unique, and act towards power progression within those zones.
    3. Baldession Arsonal, A very easy raid in the standards of todays raiding scene, but rewards (in my opinion) one of the best mounts in the game, alongside items that sell for good profits.
    4. The Community. There is a THRIVING community in Eureka in every Region, and they are always willing to jump in and help people, it still has that MMO feeling that the rest of the game is losing.

    1. Mount?
    2. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Do you see where I'm coming from?
    The content that we used to get was long lasting content, that even to this day is still active.
    The content we are getting now stagnates within a single patch and is not even remotely worth the time investment.

    Too bad that Eureka is absolutely boring to do (literally 80% of the players in the zone whom hit max level are afk'ing at the base waiting for NM to pop), the only reason Eureka thrives is because there's always new players or alts running around for progression. Relics only get you so far and once you acquire them there's literally nothing else to use them on besides BA. It needs more content if we're going to use it as a "high standard", which I honestly dont believe so. And I'm saying this as someone whom grinded all of Eureka and done BA THRICE on 3 different characters. The leveling experience is passable but still boring. Classic WoW had better progression than Eureka.

    Get out of here with that bs nonsense. Eureka flippin' sucks as content

    A good first attempt at a response.

    If you're suggesting that you like Eureka and would like to see more done exactly like it, what, in particular, keeps you going back week after week, five years after its release?

    Wasn't it specifically geared towards the Stormblood Relic Weapon grind? It doesn't seem like something that many players would actively seek after the release of the next expansion, but then again, there are plenty of people working through Hunt Trains to this day.

    What you've described isn't particularly long-lasting content, to my mind. It's content that specifically interests you. And that's fine. It's just that interest in similar content in Shadowbringers appears to have died out after the release of Endwalker.
