Remove timers on Fates

Not to make it any easier but to increase the amount of enemies in the open word. Just remove time limit from Fates. Be amazed how much harder the game becomes with alot more enemies in the zone blocking your way.

Can't really call it a FATE then since the T stands for TIME.

Last thing i want is to be inflicted with "heavy" every corner i turn trying to get from A to B. In fact, I'd be using aether-net even more which defeats the purpose of exploring open world. I'm sure others can relate.

Oh God no, this will interfere even more with gathering & leves.

Thats why you got Stealth...
Not really blocking any leves. Can still work around the Fates anyway.

Still would have a respawn timer =P

^ Not really.

If your leve is right where a fate is taking place, you either have to wait or your screwed if alot of things aggro you at once...:I
Especially at the lower/mid levels...

And then, there's gathering and just traveling from place to place (especially if your like me, and you were lvl 20 exploring cortheras :I)

Sorry- I cant really say that this would be a good idea. At all. In a long term time frame, anyways...

Pff what be the point and how will it end? there are times when hardly any ones doing fates so no end? and time makes it harder as you can fail it from runing out of time so what your asking for is a easy fate no ty

Nope. It's already annoying enough to have fates in my path half the time in East Shroud when I have to carry things for the Sylphs and may not be hit too many times.

Fates have a time limit in case no one is doing them so they don't clutter up the zones. Guess what? No one's doing them, and even WITH the time limits they're cluttering up the zones. If you make them indefinite, it's not going to make the game more dangerous, it's going to make it more annoying. In a game where all you have to do to lose aggro is keep walking, even when gravitied, there is no challenge offered by having more mobs on the screen. All it does is annoy the hell out of those trying to get from point A to point B with no desire or need for the XP offered by the 17 Fates along the way.

Removing fate timers is not the way to fix the issue that you bring up, a more dangerous world where traveling from one place to another is actually an adventure requiring skill and strategy. The real problem that needs to be addressed if that is to happen is not the number of mobs, but their behavior. They give up too easily without doing enough to kill you. You can walk away veeeeery slowly under gravity and after you've moved a certain distance, any mob will stop chasing you and return to where it was originally standing. THAT is the real problem I think you want addressed, NOT cluttering up zones with fates that few, if any, people are even participating in anymore now-a-days. Making the monsters more dangerous would solve the issue you bring up FAR better than removing fate timers ever could.

Um, no thanks. Stealth doesn't solve anything because you can still get hit by AoE, and even if that's not an issue you walk so unbelievably slow it's really annoying if you only have to gather in stealth because of a FATE nobody does ever.

Only yesterday I had to wait out (14 minutes no less) a FATE in order to finish a simple fetch quest, it popped right on top of what I had to click on and as a level 50 Boss mob I had no choice but to wait it out.

I agree the open world could be much more engaging but not by making every FATE hang about for eternity, that would just be really annoying.
