Who is honestly thinking "Yes Criterion dungeons and Island Sanctuary are totally the same amount of content as Bozja/Eureka!"

Whatever you're smoking you need to put down and check yourself into rehab.

Island sanctuary is "content" that you ignore on a weekly basis until your island is max rank and looks the same as every other island in the game.
Criterion dungeons are cleared 12 times over maybe 2 hours, and then you never do them again. Or you just don't do them in general and pay for the rewards which people can sell on the marketboard.

Bozja/Eureka is not something you can complete in 2 hours, or set up to ignore for a week. You had to put effort into doing them and earning their rewards, something the community seems to be frustrated about lately. Actually playing the game that you pay a sub fee for. Are they frustrating, grindy content? Absolutely, but they were a grind that you *chose* to do, and you chose how much of a grind you wanted it to be for yourself. True appreciation is often derived from the amount of effort and hard work put into acquiring something, making it feel like an accomplishment. When things are achieved without any effort, it's impossible to feel a sense of pride or ownership to accompany such rewards.

That choice to grind doesn't exist in Endwalker. You just complete the content and you're left with a hoard of "meh" looking welfare relics after passively earning tomestones. You get all the mounts/glamours/portraits from Island after passively checking on it every week. I want something worth grinding for, and that something has not been provided to us thus far in Endwalker.
