    Sure, Tam-Tara normal, Stone Vigil, Brayflox normal, Temple of Qarn, Copperbell Mines, Dzemael Darkhold, Toto-Rak, Cutter's Cry, Sastasha, Aurum Vale, Haukke Manor, Halatali...they were definitely "current content" when Trials Of the Braves were released in 2.28. Like were most of the dungeons used for the Zodiac in 2.45.

    Well, 3.0 didn't have you go anywhere...by the time of 3.15, technically, that was old...but not older than SnowCloak, Sastasha HM, Qarn HM, Keeper of the Lake, Wanderer's Palace HM, Amdapor Keep HM, ARR beast tribes. Or the next step, reusing the 3-tier of Crystal Tower. Or even the final step, taking you all the way back to Ifrit HM...the same Ifrit HM you had to clear for the very first step of the previous Relic.

    Over 10 dungeons, 6 were pre-HW, and the other 4 are leveling dungeons, so yes, they were old in 3.15.

    Yeah, that's my point. You don't care about options at all, you just want a bypass for a content you don't like.

    Except that it's already what you did for everything else in the game since 2.0, so the relic didn't have anything new. Basically, wether you do the relic or not, you'll simply end in the same content throughout your play sessions. That's not variety.

    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.
