Dont fate grind please

why make this post , why don't you just quest grind. While others prefer other methods it is a MMO right?

Wrong.

Because you can't "grind" quests. You have them only once. Furthermore, there is a story behind a quest even if small.

Grinding FATE is not PLAYING the game. You skip the whole content, you skip THE GAME part of FFXIV. You are forcing yourself to a job-like task to max out a class you will most likely never use or have no reason to max out in the first place. You guys are no different than the bots or gill sellers. The same mindless zombies that do brain grinding tasks for DAYS at a time.

Grinding FATE's makes you look like an obsessive compulsive creep with no purpose beyond clicking the mouse button that wants to level up his char in a week. You do nothing but repeat the same FATE's for DAYS at a time. WHY buy the game if you are going to skip most of it? And if you exhausted what the game has to offer, then why the hell do you subject yourself into an aggravating, monotonous, boring task?

It's more beneficial to level up in fates? Oh, yes. Cause only the numbers are important in an MMO. Let's just forget like the majority of the game and concentrate on leveling stuff you will most likely never use.

Training as a healer? Well, you train to be better in a dungeon, so why not train in a fricking dungeon? That's the purpose of the "training". You don't have to wait long even, you're the fricking healer!

Need another class? FOR WHAT?! Why? Being able to do every role defies the whole reason of having specialized classes… heck, even the aspect of CHOOSING a class at the start. The reason behind having every class open is to let the player experiment and choose his playstyle plus give him the cross class skills. It’s not meant to let you max out everything, HENCE the lack of quest after you hit 50 in the first class. For PVP? Well I'm sorry, there is no PVP.

There is no reason no, way to justify this masochistic, disturbing behavior. The point of the game is not repeating the same thing over and over. That's not the point in ANY game. If you grind then you throw 80% of the game AND socializing with people from around the globe (which is the point why MMOs were made) out of the window.

But hey, I can't tell them how not to play the game. It's their money, their time. They prefer getting artificial numbers on a fictional avatar in the web as an virtual shrine for ones sadness while I like reality and beautiful women for instance. Who is there to judge, right?
