    I don't know why people knock old content purely because it's not current.
    It could be something you enjoy, but you don't want to engage with it because.. why? The fact that it came out in a previous expansion?

    Granted I haven't read every reply, but so far that seems to be the main focus - that the content is old and thus not worth the time which is what I addressed in my initial post. It's why I find it difficult to recommend things to people.

    I don't even speak of an achievement hunting standpoint - for Eureka and Bozja in particular there are still quite a lot of people that do it. So engaging with that community might be fun and worth a shot and if you don't end up liking it then at least you tried it and know it's not for you.

    The original post was about spending more time in the game, and so suggestions were given - that's all that people can do if someone genuinely is looking for more things to do in the game.

    You can still criticize how the patches are handled as well, I think it would be nice if the content released quicker so that people had more to do. I'm not sure why it has to be taken to the extremes and that middle ground can't be found.

    We aren’t knocking old content but there are two “qualifiers” on that statement

    1) A lot of us have already done that content when it was current. Not everyone is a fresh faced EW baby who has 10 years of backlog to do and is only avoiding eureka because their friends said it was bad

    2) an expansion that raises the level cap should have adequate content at the level cap for those that wish to engage with it at all levels; especially in a game that syncs your skills down. PCT is one of the best job syncs in the game and I still actively find the job way less fun before you get rainbow drip and the upgrade to starry muse that lets you generate flowers. I want to play more casual content as a PCT at level 100. Bozja while I adore it leaves you with its slightly wonky level 80 kit. AND PCT SYNCS WELL by most standards

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    That's a fair argument. I mostly meant my response to the few posts I've seen dismissing Eureka/Bozja purely because the content is old. I don't know what everyone here has done, including the original poster that I made my initial suggestions to.

    I also agree regarding how level syncing is handled, and that there are quite a few jobs that are pretty different depending on what level they are at. I couldn't imagine going into Eureka as a viper, for example. The game should have more content for people to play around with the new kits they have, especially when the developers add more jobs. I think the developers would really benefit from releasing new patches within a shorter timeframe than they have been.
