Pyros... it's going to be lit

[Solarra]

I refuse to pay money to force myself through content I'm not enjoying.

Preach!
I've seen people here and on Reddit defending Eureka because they didn't find the older relics any fun, either. They might have a point, but that's a terrible reason to keep this content as it is. And for all their faults, at least the older relics had multiple progression paths.

The only real fix I can see that would salvage it is to make it so all NM's give a reasonable amount of light..

That might get me back into Pagos and onto Pyros. The main attraction being I could go into Pagos with friends who are at lower levels and actually play with them.

I suspect this content is having a detrimental effect on the open world (there's no reason to go there now besides hunts), and I suspect it's having a bad effect on player retention. SB is content-light; my Friendlist is dwindling, my FC list has so many people taking breaks. We are struggling to find stuff to do together. The relic was something everyone did last expansion, from the most casual to the hardcore raiders and we all worked on it together. Now we can't.

Social contact is the whole point of playing an MMO. It was the only thing I enjoyed about Anemos, the players made that content not merely bearable but fun, Pagos killed that.
