What's really disappointing is that, despite how much they like FATEs, they know right now it's a flawed system and yet they decided to make the whole event about them, gathering the whole servers in 2 spots for easy low level FATEs, making it even worse than Behemoth, Oding, Svara and whatever.

Normally what a good designer would do is work around or avoid what he knows it's flawed, instead they decided to push the FATE system at its limit, either we're all testing how bad it is or someone at SE is really stupid.
