Sincere Question...No Troll...Has SE Gone Full Regress?!?!

[Absurdity]

I would pretty much agree... OC is probably the worst exploratory content we've had, at its core..

I would also say, I wouldn't use Eureka as indicative of how alive or not this content will be.. Eureka has the benefit of... To do the relics, you must do Eureka.. Not only that all steps for the relic are contained in Eureka..

Step 1: You can do FATEs or you can do OC... They are probably going to increase the rate in 8/0 for FATEs.
Step 2: Has no involvement in OC whatsoever... Do a bit of crafting, do your roulettes (which you were doing anyway)

I actually found this step to be worse than the atma grind.

Because it forces you into a single piece of content again, the 4 different roulettes it wants you to do. Eureka had multiple things you could be working on alongside grinding for your relic and even the atma at least gave you the option to just do zone fates instead of OC.
I'm not getting anything out of those roulettes and since I absolutely despise how the game plays at low level, which is most likely what you'll get, I have to force myself to do it.
