Final Fantasy XIV: This Is How Players React To The Big New Eureka from buzai232's blog

One week after the release, two polls from the Japanese and English-speakingffxi gilcommunities show reactions to the controversial Eureka content.
Ask ten people for their opinion on something and you will get twelve different answers. Especially in the gaming industry, the reactions of the fans can often be extreme. The new content featured new relic weapon and armor quest that is expected to be "best in slot" after several upgrade steps at the end of the expansion.
However, many fans complained on Reddit and in the official forums about the monotony of Grind, and especially the seemingly unbelievable amount of over 5,000 crystals needed for a full set of relic gear.
But after the first guides to efficient farming appeared, the community's minds have calmed down.
And despite the many negative comments on the grind-heavy content, over time there have been more and more voices calling the new content "not as bad as they say" or even "funny". The option "Meh, it's OK", however, is at the top of the survey with 42 percent, signaling that a large proportion of players do not have a strong opinion of the new entity.
The general view seems to be that the Forbidden Land is a good idea with lousy implementation. The hope is that the development team will process the feedback in the next Eureka area.www.igxe.com
