    Eureka is extremely boring. How do I change that?

    I honestly just want the rewards. I hate the content. I'm level 38, but I, for the life of me, cannot stomach kill grinding anymore. What do I do? What should I do?

    you are not allowed to play the content for the rewards only, that goes against the philosophy and the competitive integrity of the content

    You can do NMs. These are similar to fate bosses and they scale with the amount of players there. They are spawned by killing a certain mob a lot of times. There is a eureka tracker that says which enemy to kill and where to spawn it, along with any weather or time conditions.

    Eureka is fun, but it's not for everyone. It depends what sort of person you are. Personally, I really enjoy it, even just kill grinding.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    I'd be ok with kill grinding if the xp wasn't so terrible. Even with potions of harmony and the one buff from the sprite thingy, I just feel like what I am doing isn't worth the time invested. Like I do a whole set of logs and kill like 180 things, and I barely get two levels.

    To be fair, I couldn't stand it when it came out. I should've done it then. This type of conent is antithetical to my perfered style of play. Now, on my server, it's dead. I have to hop to another datacenter, which I don't want to do so I can face the boring content alone with strangers who aren't the nicest. Or join some thousand people discord so I can be ignored when I ask for help.

    There was a reason I quit 11.

    Sorry, I've just tried to do this content so much over the years that it's depressing. I've wasted so much time on random discords with random people who couldn't be bothered to help.

    I can’t stand Eureka. Just made it to Hydratos on alt and I called it. I’ve done every other single quest in Eorzea on the character but I’ve hit my limit with Eureka. On the other hand, I quite enjoy Bozja and you can use it to quickly level up.

    I found Bozja to be more tolerable. Even then, the elitism of it all ruined it for me. I did Castrum, I think, and I was new to it, and I died. Nobody ressed me, and everyone ran ahead. I got really lost, and they kicked me. It kinda soured my opinion on doing Castrum again, and I never did. I have the quest for DR, but I am terrified to even try it.

    I don't have two monitors anymore. I can listen to music, but I get bored easily. I have been playing Warrior. I was a Dragoon, but someone suggested Warrior so I started doing that.
