So, rather than populate the zone itself with enough activities to keep people engaged, you send them on slogs into years'-old leveling aides because... what? You blew all the budget on the awesome aesthetics of the BSF?

    It's a huge zone when you consider the fact that it's ground-only. Yet 99 percent of the terrain is without purpose. All the action occurs on tiny pinpricks of real estate.
    Or have both options. Have the questline take place outside of the zone in the "normal" world, probably centered around whatever is the hub city for the current expansion. Allow drop for steps both out there and in this instanced zone toward completing the quest. Make it less about where you do the content and more about what activity you are doing. I would love to see them branch out past FATEs and instances. Maybe something more like WT where you get ticks for a variety of different content. Let the challenge log be an option to get some steps completed, etc.

    And Xtrasweettea, my complaint against both Eureka and Bozja is that you are completely isolated from the rest of the game, divorced from normal activities, and to progress in those zones you have to sacrifice keeping up on your other activities. In ARR and HW, you progressed by doing your normal activities. You could grind each step as they came out quickly if you wanted. You could also take your time. You were encouraged to go out into the world, sometimes to places you hadn't been in a long time. Nobody was asking for FATE grinding in just old zones or old raids. We simply wanted to not feel like we were pushed into playing a completely separate game and forced into a choice where we either can keep up on things like weekly tomes or get progress toward the relic.
