Proposed Fixes for FATEs (& dungeons).

[Talmaran]

The only real solution would be to have a lot more side quests and even if it is slower i would rather do that then the fates but currently there is no REALISTIC way to level a second job or a third without the zerg grind.

One of the ideas that i have is that the could make it that in all 3 of the city zones there are enough quests to level 1 job.
And when u have completed all 3 zones u could for example buy with company seals a reset token to reset all the side quests so you can level the other jobs as well trough quests.

Whether SQ is going to do that or not is up to the devs of the game and if it is even double for them.
I dont expect a solution fast what i do hope for is a descend solution eventually (and i mean in 1 or 2 major content patches so 2.1 or 2.2 )

Now let the bash fest begin its maintenance after all i am grabbing the popcorn.

I totally agree with you that leveling the additional jobs past your first requires the use of FATE, however some of the FATE XP needs to be shifted into other mediums. Those mediums should be dungeons and leves.

There needs to be a balance. FATEs being the main font of XP is causing issues where players are woefully inadequate at playing their chosen roles.

Not only are FATEs #1 for XP but only FATEs in certain zones are being used, while other areas are ghost towns. There's some major imbalances that should be addressed to spread the XP out from FATE to other areas of the game and FATEs themselves need to be balanced for players in all zones.
