Which I get it, nostalgia is one hell of a drug.

I can't speak for Eureka, but I did play Bozja from day 1. What I remember is in the first little while, people were gatekeeping CLL, saying new people shouldn't join because they wanted to guarentee a clear to get their coins. I remember spending 5 hours a day for 4 days straight ust trying to get my CLL clear. And I mean after I ranked to 10 already. I would spend all that time in Bozja trying desperately to get CLL cleared so that I could move forward with my relic. Every time I managed to get in CLL, we would wipe/run out of time. It was extremely tiresome and draining to do. And even then, within 2 months of Bozja coming out, I never had a full group when I did CLL for relics.

Despite all the relic steps involving Delubrum, my queues were usually over 30mins. And after three weeks of Zadnor being out, my Dalriada runs usually had 8-11 people.

Even now, Eureka (at least the first two zones) are still fairing well, but Bozja is dead. Bozja was dead during the life of the relic. I wouldn't call that longevity.

As for other content, there were lulls in ShB too. Points where there was no one around and queues would take forever. It's not EW exclusive.

Also to quickly comment on the feedback thing; there exists more facets of feedback than just the West. Most people don't even take the time to give feedback. They aren't just going to look at a 1000 post thread where it's just the same handful of people complaining and insulting the devs and other players. You seem to forget you don't speak for everyone. You speak for a fraction of players. They have more devices to see user engagement and opinions than just the same person on general discussion claiming that the game is garbage and that anyone who likes it is an SE white knight on copium.
A thousand times this post, honestly.
