There are so few people who like the FATE system anywhere you ask... I just cannot understand why they keep pushing fates so much.

They are just horrible content. In every game that has ever had them. And that is not the opinion of the minority.

Seasonal events should never FATE related. Hell look at XI or WoW, the season events in those games are 20fold better then XIV. Minigames, quest lines, and so on. This fate garbage is as bad as Ring the bell for every season event at the launch of 1.0.
