F.A.T.E: The Truth you don't want to hear.

The main problem I think is that the game can only handle so much in one area without removing things from sight. I 'think' that is what you are referring to? My friend has this issue to where in big 'zerg' groups in fate runs he will end up only seeing chocobos and people and NOT be able to see the proper targets. As far as not getting there in time before everything is done, have you tried going into shout and requesting to join one of those groups. I mean if it isnt your thing [or you are waiting for your DF to get you to your dungeon] then i understand.

Ya, I am usually in a party. There are some FATES on the map that you literally need to have pop on you to get any XP (which is fine). To clarify my post is by the time you get there and start trying to target the mob you get 20 pets. I agree that is just an annoyance, my major problem is this zergfest replaced traditional leveling. I sat there mindlessly watching a fireworks show and got 1/2 a million XP last night and totally never saw the target in a 1/4 of them. Not to mention the whole zone being DC'ed when Behemoth popped (understandable). I guess I would like to see there being a more traditional substantial type of leveling be implemented. Can this be fixed? I hope so, but I knew this was going to be shite in BETA.

I don't want to start a flame war, but this in no way adds any substance to the game. It certainly doesn't teach new players learn the game in a constructive way. Convincing me FATE is fun just validates my suspicions that this game was made for the lowest common denominator. Which has taken out all of the integrity of the series. It's just such a shame that the developers bent to the will of the complainers. We are now seeing the obvious problems that come along with lowering standards.

I am by no means attempting to convince people that FATE's are 'fun' when if they are used for grinding they become just as boring. However I don't want to start a flame war either, but open up a discussion between people. I understand FATE's don't 'teach' people much except hit button quickly and gain prize because you hit the most buttons and tagged the most mobs.

I do 'like' fates as the tool that they are, for leveling up or getting seals. Though they do need to spice up FATE's as is, I am content to wait on them to do that and I think they are going to do a good job based on what they released so far. As far as FATE's go they are something entertaining to do while waiting on your DF to pop if you don't want to do gathering/crafting at the time, and a menial task that you can engage in with a group of people.
