    The Firmament/Diadem:
    Outdated content but it's fine as it is. Modern innovations like Higher Stats and Revisit make farming a lot easier there.

    Deep Dungeons:
    Palace is fine but Heaven on High and Eureka Orthos need more of an incentive for players to run it that isn't "Clear it 4 times for a mount", since HoH isn't as popular and people level in Bozja instead of Orthos due to how braindead Z3 Mettle Farming is compared to the only deep dungeon where every telegraphed attack is a oneshot.

    Eureka:
    It already gives you Materia. It's in the Lockboxes that you get after killing NMs.
    You'd know this if you actually played the content.

    Bozja:
    Bozja is good, the only problem with it is that other players don't know how to play to its advantages.
    Infact, it would be better for the health of the zone's gameplay balance if EXP rewards were removed from Skirmishes and quadrupled in Critical Engagements, but reduced for each vuln stack that you suffer on each boss.

    Delubrum Reginae:
    They should make it so that if a party of 8 is queueing in, they don't need to wait 10 minutes for the pop. Barely anyone actually does 24man runs anymore.

    Variants:
    They're fine as-is, people just don't like it.
    Maybe giving them a massive EXP payout would help, since that led to Aglaia being even more popular than Crystal Tower in Alliance Raid Roulette, even if it was only temporarily.
    I didn't mention the ones I felt were in an alright place, but as for Eureka, you're telling me it gives current content endgame-tier Materia? Which was the entire point of this post, catching previous content that has separate or unrelated level-scaling up to current content? Hmm, I'll have to go out and finish the last five levels of content I hadn't yet done to see if I can nab some.

    Why should outdated content give you Current Endgame tier rewards?
    Eureka gives you V and VI Materia, which are useful in-content when you're melding that Kirin's Osode/Vermillion Cloak, plus Logograms that you can use to power up inside Pyros/Hydatos.
    Bozja is all about Forgotten Fragments for the Lost Actions, though you can get some VII or VIII materia from the Lockboxes.
    You can buy VII and VIII Gatherer/Crafter Materia with Skybuilders' Scrip in the Firmament/Diadem.
    And IX/X Gatherer/Crafter Materia with your Cowries from Island Sanctuary.

    Flooding more people who are only going into something for vague rewards instead of for the love of the area will only decrease the enjoyment of everyone involved. Suddenly every fight is taking almost twice as long to clear and you can't make as many mistakes without several players dying. Why? Blind idiots who barely even press their 123 combo aren't using the tools they have access to to be as strong as they can be in Bozja so the 8 players who are doing double the usual damage have to deal with 16 players who are dealing half the damage they should usually be doing and now we can't meet the DPS check in this Critical Engagement because the effective damage is as if no-one was using any Lost Actions at all.

    Do you want to complain about Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker Hunt Marks giving outdated Materia tradein Clusters that can only be traded in for Materia from that expansion?
    If all you want is Materia, and you aren't pentamelding, go on a few DT A Trains and you'll have more than enough for the raid tier.

    I'm sorry that you don't have the carrot on a stick telling you to go do old content, but if you need that to be able to run it, then it isn't for you.
