A "Good Community" doesn't excuse content from being unfun

[Rosentretter]

One more of the +30 Eureka threads... Gosh I got excited with the title.

I'm just saying a vast majority .

Can you provide a link to support this claim please? I'd love to see it.

Your options in Eureka are to grind mobs that are no different to the overworld or dungeon trash, or follow the train and raise the people actually doing content since you can't. And good luck if you've only got Samurai levelled or something. Take that away and you're just left with a chatroom, and I don't know about other servers, but Limsa offers that in spades.

You took that quote out of context.

I think you might be taking what I said out of context.

I didn't point to you saying it was you opinion, just that both of those things are highly suggestive based on person interests for anyone(you, me, anybody on the forums, anybody in the game, the NPCs, the monsters, heck, even the power company just because). What one person will find enjoyable, others may not. Let us take watching something like the Bachelor for example. I personally HATE watching "reality" TV, but some people live their life to watch something like that and enjoy it. Does my view on it invalidate theirs? Not at all.

So people saying that Eureka is "boring", "crap content", or whatever, are in a sense correct(to them and others who share their views), but also wrong(to the ones who enjoy it for what/how it is) due to the subjective nature of their opinions.

You don't pay my sub, don't tell me what I can or can't enjoy.

[Divinemights]

I mentioned this in the main post, but I'll say it again: I don't claim that Eureka (Community excluded) can't be enjoyable to certain people, I'm just saying a vast majority (As seen from the initial reception of Eureka) find it painfully boring.

First of all, fun is very subjective to each of our own.
Secondly, please do provide the evidence for your so called "vast majority"
JP Poll already showing 57% like and 17% dislike.
EN Poll is showing a ratio of 3:3:3 between likes, dislikes, and don't care.
Please do explain

So what you're saying is only one third out of the EN poll likes it. Gotcha.

Just look at the countless posts in the General Forum! Now you're probably going to argue "this doesn't represent the vast majority of players" and you are correct, however just the fact that these posts exist are enough to make you think "There is something wrong with this content". You don't see people going like "The new raid tier is bad because x y z", because not many think that. You DO however see alot of posts about Eureka being bad because people DO think that. Saying Eureka is fun is ALMOST (note the "almost", not "exactly") like saying FATE grinding is fun, and I think it's safe to assume that most people don't find FATE grinding fun.

There are a million threads because people cannot keep things to a single feedback thread - or even a few. Like yourself, everyone felt the need to create a new thread, clogging up the front page since it launched. You can't claim any sort of proof based on the number of threads being started. NA forums are notorious for this type of behavior.
