FATEs are killing Dungeons and team play

[Deathgasm]

For the love of the licence, FF ans its lore, the hard work Squee has done, I really wanted to give my money and give it a go.

In fact I realize I'm on the wrong game since beta 3.

I love RP, but there's no RP server.
I love leveling phase, but Yoshida hates it.
I love PvE difficulty, but people want a nerf of it, in dungeons and class quests.
I love to work to get something, but people want all without any efforts.

So boost XP and rewards for all, nerf difficulty, put an option to pass 50 on all classes straight away, and..

Bon appétit and do not forget to pull the flush.

The best solution in my opinion to stuff like this is to take fates into a daily diminishing return system. Though maybe a complex one. For instance, if you did fate A three times, fate B 7 times and fate C once while you don't want to touch fate D... Fate A could give you 85% exp, fate B would give you 65% exp and fate C would give you 95% exp and you would get 100% exp from fate D. What this would do is make harder or less rewarding fates more appealing, and at the same time it would cool down the zerg rushing.

However I don't think that the FATES are killing the game. DPS do Queue up for Dungeons, trust me. I'm DPS... Except there are too many DPS or not enough Healers or Tanks in the Queue because it takes 50 minutes to get into a single Dungeon and 30 if I am lucky and these are 'popular' ones [story ones]. So, I wonder why people resort to fate grinding instead of Dungeons.

If they just nerfed them or limited them then it'd be fine. I grind fates sometimes, but for the most part I advance through the story and/or do dungeons frequently. The ridiculous zerg does get insanely annoying. Not to mention the 45 minute-1 hour wait one needs to endure with the df makes it even more frustrating.

You also get players who don't even know how to play their classes because all they do is grind fates. I used the df for a dungeon the other day and got a tank who thought all he had to do was charge in. He had no idea how to build hate. All he did was mindlessly charge in and, well, that ended quite badly.

Either nerf them or limit how many fates pop a day.
