    I played like four levels of Eureka and then dipped out forever, so I can't compare Bozja to Eureka, but I played Bozja for a few hours today and I think it's okay-ish. Getting into the engagements is fun and getting invited to the 1v1 duel, even if you don't get selected for it, feels like a nice feather in your cap. The pace of ranking up is kind of slow but not terrible...

    Some things that really did irritate me though:

    1. Low-level Skirmishes are over-played because they're accessible to more players and spawn quickly. This means if you're not in a party you can end up getting silver on Skirmishes even if you were there from the very start of them if the hoard descends upon your Skirmish before you can get enough credit. And since higher-ranked players have access to more aetherytes, it is significantly easier for them to reach the Skirmishes before lower-ranked players. It's a bit annoying to see a Skirmish at 0%, start heading out toward it... By the time you get there, it's already at 90% completion because it was close enough to an aetheryte for a hoard of higher-ranked players to port there before you could reach it.

    2. The UI for the Lost Actions is bad. Changing your Duty Actions is irritating because it can't be done from the Cache, etc.

    3. Using mounts from the start is cool and all but is the slowest possible mount speed really the best we can do?

    4. This isn't "new" content (i.e. stuff we haven't seen before). Being told that we can't have more dungeons, can't have a different deep dungeon, can't have X or Y idea because the devs are focused on "new" content and then the "new" thing we get is a barely reskinned Eureka, is truly depressing.

    This. My god, I can't even get to the ones right outside the starting area before they're dead or nearly dead by the time I reach it. I dared to be one of those people who had to work on a patch launch day and now all the rank 8+ people just mow them all down. I can't even get the next step in the quest line because you need rank 5 and someone had the GENIUS idea to only allow you to level on freaking FATEs. Not impressed in the slightest and I seriously hope they don't listen to some of the folks on these threads and eventually make the instance required for later relic steps, because the #1 thing people who hated Eureka wanted was to not have the relic weapon tied to it.
