I suspect the crowd that may have enjoyed Eureka the most is the players that enjoy that learning process. Anyone looking to just turn their brain off for a bit is going to have a bad time if they don't first learn when it's safe to do so.

Maybe that's where I went wrong. I went into eureka completely blind, not really knowing anything about it.

But I have spent countless hours in Bozja/Zadnor and enjoy the fact that I can mindlessly grind the things I need to. I went there to level a lot of jobs. So that was the standard I was used to.

But when I went to Eureka, I was met with many hindrances that I feel are unnecessary, and I couldn't be in a party with my friends without some kind of exp penalty (they did stick around to keep me alive though).
