Please fix boss FATEs.

There are so many people attacking bosses in those FATEs, and it ends so quickly, that nobody can get gold contribution for them. I can't get my achievements in Northern Thanalan for fighting the chimera and succubus because there are so many people. Even after being there right when it starts and going all out, I only get silver contribution.

Plenty of people are getting good, just ot you

You need a group to get gold, I found even when im there at very start if im not in a group even tho i stayed entire time I only get silver which is kinda lame lol.

to me it feels like you have to deal a set amount of damage to get gold :s

Which is impossible on some bosses as their health is stupidly low and the fate trains comes rolling past, sneezes, then moves on as the boss dies so fast.

So? Get a group ._.

There should be a seamless "Fate Group" mechanic that auto groups everyone who shows up to the fate which facilitates the sharing of credit throughout all the contributing players. Just because you're a solo player not in a group doesn't mean you aren't working on the same goal as everyone else and will also remove the advantages some classes have over others. As a tank, I am finding I frequently get screwed in fates due to low damage output and the lack of any real aoe. The only way I can get any credit is by spamming Flash.

When soloing a fate nearby, I often get 10k or more from boss fate(got 19k on crab from costa del sol with WAR36), while I'm always below 10k for other fates.
I've no clue what causes that difference?!

The difference is the level of boss. There are some bosses that are just plain bosses, and some that are special bosses. Like the crab you are talking about- that is from the FATE "It's not Lupus". His name is "Cancer", and he's a special boss fight. He appears much less frequently than other boss fights and drops a mini upon completion.

Nice to know, thanks :)
