FATE is Ruining this game, please buff dungeons.

Give me the original FFXI party style levelling any day over FATEs. At least there you actually talk and make friends instead of zerging like a swarm of bees.

Take off the rose-colored glasses. That was only the case if you had the right bandwagon jobs of the era. I take it you never leveled Beastmaster, Summoner, Puppetmaster, or Dragoon prior to Abyssea?

Case Closed.

Campaign was as close to FATEs as any non-bandwagon job could hope for before Tanaka was given the boot the first time around (apologies to XIV 1.0 players for that move). Any old-school Beastmaster would have killed for something like FATEs.

I doubt any "old school" beast master would have enjoyed Fates. Old School Beast masters were in a class of their own, as that job required vast amounts of patience and skill - and I really doubt that type of player would have enjoyed such shallow and stupid gameplay like what's in Fates on this game, let alone kill for it.

You're correct to say certain jobs were rarely sought after by random groups on FF11. But that just reinforces what Hycinthus was saying. It gave more incentive to make friends to group with.
