The value of content creators, to me, is they often find a more fair and balanced perspective than the majority of the community and have a voice that SE is more likely to listen to. However, they are often veteran players as well and prone to the same veteran player bias that affects many of us on the forums. That bias causes a narrow view of the game that pertains only to the content they are interested in and to forget what it's like to be a new player.

A lot of people who saw the interview about the third step being this way are going to be disappointed though, not just content creators.

The relic steps and lack of a place like Eureka are disappointing. That's fair to say. It's not fair when people are saying "they haven't made any content" because that's not technically true. It's fairer when people say "the content doesn't last long", especially the current relics, or to say that content replacing it is lacking social interaction like Island Sanctuary, Variant dungeons and Duty Support which all involve playing solo.

I do get Mount Ordeals in trial and mentor roulettes a lot. The latest trial as well as max level trials in general have always been difficult to get a queue for. This was a problem with Hades and SoS in the last expansion as well. Why would you queue into a trial roulette at level 90? I do it, but most people who do it are below 90 leveling a job.
