Discuss : is ffxiv in trouble

It's almost like different people have different tastes and different implementations of the same concept get different receptions. Wild.

My social circle hated Eureka but loved Bozja and is looking forward to see how they implement the exploration zone this time.
They loved PotD and HoH (before burning out on those anyway) while the EW DD just wasn't "it". They're stil going to be excited for a new Deep Dungeon, unless the next one too turned out to be a dud and tempered future expectations.

The issue with Eureka according to anyone I played with back then was pagos, and honestly yeah, it was waaaaaaaaay too grindy. But Anemos, Pyros and Hydatos was fine imo. But, we also need to talk about how people back then outright refused to do the relics based a lot of very petty and childish reasons, I remember people trying to claim NMs as theirs for them and their friends, people being mad they had to share instances with others, people mad because they had to group, in an MMO, it goes on. And while Bozja wasn't much different it was just faster.

I think Zadnor was a sweet spot, but them implementing the ability to just to CT instead killed any fun Zadnor could have been, at least in NA. As far ass the deep dungeons, I find them all fun, I feel like the *boring* aspect and the hate it gets is from the more fun rewards requiring people to actually do the deep part of the dungeon.
