Failing a last minute bout of madness, this will be the first EQ I haven’t explored since…well, somewhere around the beginning of EQs as a thing.
I say this without exaggeration: I can’t recall a single instance of not fully exploring for at least several years. There were, of course, months where I explored two and even three difficulties. Perhaps I missed one years ago—I’m sure the data is there somewhere.
All of this comes to mind after popping in to take a look at what I’m missing:


Sure, there’s the Paragauntlet (which should just be open without requiring EQ), but that’s starting to look less like a stopgap measure. No one suggests an Epoch of Pain level of difficulty every month, but the failure to make monthly EQ compelling should disappoint the team as much as it does Summoners.
