What would it take for you to like field content it you don’t currently like it?

I already said this multiple times on various threads but what I wish exploratory content to have is more avenues of progression.

Having various quests to do (and not just milestones for it like we had for Eureka and Bozja), have gear rewards from special world bosses or dungeons you can access and not just something you acquire near the end, allow crafter and gatherer classes to contribute with zone resources as well as partcipate in timed zone scale events, have the zones be bigger and less aetheryte convenience and just overall be less of just another flavor of Fate train spam because thats 90% of current exploratory zone content.

Like the OP, I'm a exploratory zone defender.

I would enjoy this too. What we need, I feel, is something akin to old Diadem but with polish brought by Eureka and especially Bozja.

I'd also like to see more events for defense. Like defending bases from hordes of mobs.

To reference my usual simping for old Rift, there could be, for example, rifts at which timed-zone events where the enemies can spawn and will attack locale, the players would need to work together to defeat it and/or the mobs attacking the base or w/e, and those who are powerful enough through progression systems provided inside the exploratory zone, dropped from these encounters and larger scale ones as well.
