Yeah, my combat classes (that I play) are all 50 so the exp is a non-issue for me as I get none. But the fates aren't without benefit to me, as many have mentioned company seals. Whether I spend 30 minutes murdering the fate mobs or turning in all the things I gathered at the start, the reward doesn't change. And yeah, I'm usually not in a party for these things. I don't get why people think Fates is the only way to level. You've got leves and dungeons you could run, you could turn in the dungeon loot for seals or sell it on the market board... it's a big game, make the most of it!
