Honestly I don't know what they could give out from FATEs that would make them useful in perpetuity. I think one of the problems we are running into with XIV is too many currencies, nearly every piece of content gives it's own kind of currency and that currency is then used to buy a very limited selection of items. Variants are a great example of this, the rewards you can buy are very few and the currency you get from it can only be used to buy these items. Honestly they could have made relic materials come from Variant dungeons, I feel like that is a missed opportunity.
