How far have you progressed in EOP and Carina v3?

Given that EOP feels like a half way house on the latest Everest content before the next abyss comes out, I'm intrigued by how many people have started EOP, how far you've progressed if you have and what you're status in game is, if you have?
Back in the day, on a similar poll for how people obtained their first R3 for TB, most people gritted their teeth and ground out one abyss path; https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/265607/how-did-you-get-the-t5cc-for-thronebreaker#latest
So... EOP as the first main route for achieving a R5 through content; has it engendered a rush of completion, to grab that first one?
Feel free to share views on how you've found it if you've taken 1 or more runs so far.

My 14th r4 will be Crossbones. Crossbones will tackle Kraven, Scorpion, and Peni. America will do Ikaris. My first r5 will be Rintrah, Galan (sorry, Herc), Nimrod, Apoc, Kingpin or Nick, or maybe S99 for science.
And for the record, I Herced the left side and intended to stop. I ended up with surplus energy, which led to farming revives because EQ was made harder for no good reason. Once I had revives, I may as well have done another challenge. When I opened four hour crystals, I had surplus energy. With the energy, I had nothing to do but farm revives and the cycle has kept repeating every 1-2 weeks. Way to manage the game.
Also ended up in an odd energy cycle; opened nearly 400, 4 hour crystals for heals over all the runs and ended up with so many refills (had 25 in overflow at one point) it just prompted re-farming to then go for another run.
Roster has grown a bit since then but going through a whole path was not on my radar until I completed Act 7 …which I am casually doing as I can with minimal resources (7.3.4 as of now) . Now with revive farming gone… probably will never be on my radar knowing all this Everest content was completed by average players (like me) with a bunch of revives.
My entire perspective on how to enjoy the game as newly F2P due to frustrations like this has shifted everything.
Found the HARD. Like I really struggles with the jugg only run (100+ revives and almost no health pots) and also with spiders (80 revives and no health pots).
Looking to do another challenge within a week, not sure which one though.
Overall it wasn’t the worst. I’d rather have more EOP style content than abyss tbh.
I never complete content, I’m always focusing and exploring it when I’m able to, because I don’t like going back to finish a path after months.
