Fates Are Ruining The Dungeon Experience

[Welsper59]

FATEs are fine. If anything, the other means of progress (i.e. dungeons) need a boost. To be honest, they really do feel like one-time things. Yeah, they spent a lot of time making them, but they are part of story progression. Some of us ran most, if not all of them, with people we know or with folks that weren't a blemish to the community. The experience, even if just once, is enough to give it a positive light.

At some point in time, they will likely add incentive to do them again, as less people will need to do them, thus harder to find groups. It could be as soon as 5.1 for all we know, but for the time being, I don't think they see it as a priority issue to address. They're probably banking on folks making friends with others, and thus they be willing to run things together, even if someone has to do it more than once. You know, having fun in the sense of playing with friends, rather than treating it like playing by yourself.

Dungeons are useful for grinding gear. Until you're level 30 then GC gear is all you need until AF.

People need to stop hating on FATES so much.

People need to stop grinding FATES too much leaving Dungeons to rot.

Yea at least until I finish lvling my last 3 jobs I didn't cap in 1.0.

Then cry all you want.

Dungeons deserve to rot. Don't blame the players, blame SE.

The game can exist without FATES, but it can't exist without Instanced Dungeons which is the core of every MMO

I agree, in this game, Fates give the best rewards for the least amount of effort and skill. It is not even fun to do! Up the experience points gained in dungeons, allow for seal rewards to drop as well.

I wonder if the people hating on dungeons just have a terrible experience clearing them because Fate zerg-grinding taught them nothing about their function in a group.

[Virtuso]

why not adding GC seals rewards to the dungeons? the only reason I occasionally run fates is the shortage of GC seals.

I'm the same way. I would LOVE to earn GC seals from dungeons. FATE's are just too mindless for my taste to grind constantly. As a diversion from questing their fun but not as just an endless zerg fest.

Well I didn't spam repeat instances at all on my first character, that being my archer, not that I would of anyway what with these insane queue times of finding the party and then reserving instance, but as I'm slowly leveling up a conj as my second class I'm doing instances quite a fair bit to try get some gear and just take my time through the leveling process, helps that queue times are quicker as well.

Dungeons are the most fun part of the game. They're engaging and dynamic.

FATES are zzzz
