This.
Eureka was a success. So many people did it and still do it. Can’t say that about other things in the game (Variant) because it is the perfect mix of just jumping into and having to dedicate yourself enough.
The complaints were actually pretty substantial for a big part back then like party leveling being a pain, Pagos enemy placement or the slow light grind.
Most of the complaints were either worked on in Eureka itself or in Bozja later.
Heck if I’m honest field content is probably one of the best examples in the game of devs taking feedback the correct way.

I like field content and look forward. It was never perfect and it didn’t want to be but it formed a nice community around itself and gave me lots of longtime fun.
The only criticism I had with Bozja was the color plate and that the fates spawned too fast sometimes.
Other than that the critical engagements were fun, the gear was cool and the raids inside are what I actually consider raids (the queueing was bad though).

I don’t personally mind fates again but I can kinda agree from another perspective.
If the next field zone is fates again it is in direct competition to two other similar contents.
I don’t know what the solution could be though.
