I believe the more visible and structured relic acquisition pathway that Eureka led to, with its flaws being gradually ironed out, also helped them achieve higher sub retention than otherwise even as the game approached the lull preceding next expansion - it also had particularly high engagement in Japan but also decent clear rates in NA and EU. Yes, that was probably partly helped by a certain other competitor not doing too well at the time, but it provided a form of fairly enjoyable, repeatable content to fill the time with. As things currently stand, I've got my doubts that Bozja is going to accomplish anything like that, particularly as they're not addressing the design flaws it has in the way they did with Eureka. Anyway, I agree with your point on grinds being fine provided they're actually interesting.
