I'm going to be completely honest, I don't like Eureka because I've already been excluded from it. I'm a student with two jobs, XIV is my main game, with this recent update, because I couldn't devote my life to it, I've fallen too far behind to find a party. I can't just solo level, because that takes hours and hours that I don't have, at least with Savage raids I could schedule a group to run with in the middle of the night, but there's just nothing for this type on content. More and more I feel excluded just because I can't devote my life to the game. Lets start with a comparison to previous content.

Savage Raids in general can be scheduled with a static, I, for instance, have time in the dead of night once I've finished studying and I've compiled my work schedules, I can schedule 2 hours to practice with a raid group during this time, without neglecting school or work. Finding a group could be tough, but it wasn't impossible.

Diadem was absolutely fine with me because it was never the next step in gear progression, I think it had what, maybe one type of gear that was worth it? It was mostly pets or something?

Previous relic quests were mostly time gated to start with, I could do a certain amount of beast tribe quests a day, I could run for a certain amount of tomes per week, I could only gather scrips during certain times, It was a LOT of work, but it was something I could just do alone for the most part, I didn't need a large group of people the same level, because dungeons level sync, I didn't need to worry about following a train without dying, I was just able to run everything on my own time.

Now with Eureka, I'm completely out in the cold, by the time I catch up, running solo, the next step will be out or people will be done running it, the only people I'll find are the ones replaying it for their second or third or fourth class, people that have a TON of time, people that'll outpace me again. I used to be able to have fun trying to run endgame content, but I'm being shut out of it.
