Buff fate exp gain in the new zones. Noone is doing them at all.

Please buff exp gain in the new zones. Make more fates in the new zones. You have these massive zones but barely anyone is running around doing fates. Only people running around them are people who are lvling up through the first time probably. Nerf the fate gain post lvl 50 in Northern Thanalan. Buff exp gain by 20%-30% in the new zones and scale them accordingly. Cause trying to get exp once your roulettes and challenge logs and hunt bills are done, is becoming a pain. The exp required is nonsensical in relative to the exp gain given by fates.

Bump.

But really, there's little reason to do so, though it may come by the time Alexander comes out.

Currently, a lvl 51 with an armory xp bonus can grind fates in NT at about 3x the XP per hour that can be done in either of the new starting zones. In the time it takes to complete 1 fate in Coerthas or Sea of Clouds, you can do about 2-3 (sometimes more if you chain them well and they are spawning like crazy) in NT. This is why NT is jam packed with players grinding out alts. Additionally, the mobs there are still scaled to 2.0 standards while the mobs in the new zone are scaled to 3.0, which amounts to a glaring ilvl discrepancy and gap in mob strength.

It would have been nice if the new zones took this into account so people would fate farm in them, but they don't so people stay in NT for the sheer efficiency of xp gains that are there.

This is one of many reasons that really get me worried about where this game is going. Complete nonsense

I think HW zone FATE parties will pick up when more and more people start leveling secondary jobs through the 50's, due to flying chocobos zipping you between FATEs. But yeah, standard 52 FATE should give more exp than standard 48 FATE.

This is what Northern Thanalan looks like right now:

another way to avoid this issue is to do with fates what they did with crafting leves: make the 49 and below fates give much less xp once you hit lvl 50.

Lol make em give less exp for what, current HW Fates are ASS and should be adressed. Dusk Vigil being inferior to Aurum Vale lol for exp.

More exp by a very good margin and make them more infrequent. So FATEs become what they should be, a big event to break up the monotony of grinding, instead of what it is, a monotonous grind because it's available and gives so much exp.

It's just bad exp scaling across the board.

At 58, Nthana fates aren't as quick as questing in the new zones, at least from what I personally can tell. I'm seeing quite a few people in their 50's all the way up to 59 running them but I don't get why... I get that its easy exp, but the exp is so small in comparison to what each lvl requires in the 50's. 14k exp per fate in Nthan when I need almost 3 mill exp... It moves slooooooooooooooooooooooow, where simple quests are regarding around 38k exp.
