    Problem is, this would have been the only way to really send your feedback as forums can't really be used to establish a general playerbase opinion. But every time someone suggested than to a Eureka opponent, it was basically received as "mind your own business".

    If those who didn't like it didn't do it, and SE thought the participation was really below expectation, I would have gladly admitted that the content would have been a failure, even If personally really love it. Also, another point is "expectation", and what numbers don't mean much. If they expect 5% for a content (Regardless of the ressources they decided to put in it, since it's their choice) and 10% participates "willingly", then it's a success. If they expect 15% for the same content, it's a failure. And we don't know what percentage of the playerbase they expected to complete Eureka.

    Every time you will join/leave a party, you would have to relaunch the Duty Finder, and if people stay solo just because they want to do something else, they'll each individually receive lower rewards from every NM, making the whole process simply taking more time.

    Y: I usually compare FFXIV with a theme park, but the Forbidden Land of Eureka won’t be a place where everyone would want to go. For example, there are people who don’t want to go to horror houses because they don’t see the point in getting scared on purpose. For example, on a date, the boyfriend might want to invite the girlfriend to go the horror house, but the girlfriend just doesn’t seem to find it fun. In other words, it’s not like everyone wants to go to the horror house, but there are people who just love the adrenalin rush they get from it. Think of Eureka as something like that.

    You don't need a party to get gold from a NM if you around the same level. And most people probably play on duo/trio, so even less problems, but you can easily get gold solo. So that wouldn't be an issue. The idea is good.

    Your chances of receiving gold drops with the number of people in the instance if you're solo even if you're at the same level as the fate. It's different when you're fighting the NM with 20 people around compared to 143.

    Explain me why I get gold when solo'ing then -.-
    Because I even got gold when doing Pazu in solo. So there is nothing you can say to defend party group, if you do enough damage and know the mechanics to survive, there is no such thing as "but you need a party qq"

    As I said, the number of participants affect your chances of getting gold. The HP of the monster scales up, so with your DPS remaining constant, the % of the damage you do to the boss is reduced. Thus your chances of getting gold goes down easily.

    It does, but since the HP goes up, you need to do a lot more damage to get enough participation and generate enmity against all 143 that are doing it. And furthermore you'll have to keep on hitting the monster from start till it dies and if you were to die and lose time till you get resurrected, then you have a high chance of getting either silver or bronze.

    If you main a healer as your "Main Class" suggests, then it's much easier to get gold. Same goes for tanks. A lot of it comes down to enmity generation.

    I play RDM for solo in Eureka.

    (Since it's pretty much the only class you can play for solo.)
