Anyone actually do "Magitek Menace" Fate/Quest?

[Despite]

I just level a craft while I wait and it usually doesn't take long to pop.

Yay a reasonable person. ^_^

Abandon and move on. This is the saddest attempt at a Daily I've ever seen. Of the 493,901,899,221,013,981 things they could have implemented as a Daily this is definitely in the top 10 worst.

Me and my friends have a Complete understanding of MMO's as we've been in them since dialup ISP came into origins. Our rule of thumb goes like this : Some quests you see the examples of smart intellectual creative devs,
other quests get put into play from people who should not and never should be allowed to think about making quests. You ALWAYS run into some of the latter sadly in every Great MMO I've experienced ( 90%+ of almost everyone released).
Just have to roll with the punch and speak out and pray who ever made the terrible choices gets better supervision.

I've done it every time I got it. I must have been lucky, it either popped while i was doing other daily quests so i could get the item to turn in next time I got the quest, or the fate popped within ten mins of my accepting it if I didn't already have the item.

Are you kidding me. So when you go to pick up your dry cleaning It's acceptable for the clerk to say wait 45mins while we get to working on your order because we forgot about YOURS.
So it's acceptable to YOU when you go to corner store if the clerk tells you "please wait outside till the store is empty of customers than I can wait on you"
So it's ACCEPTABLE to YOU when get home from work if your Partner locks the door and says "Please wait outside 30 minutes than I MIGHT let you in"
So it's acceptable to YOU if when you go thru a drive thru to pickup food for the cashier to say "please go home and wash your hands and put on a pirates hat than come back"

What PLANET are you from? We PAY for FUN THINGS TO DO. If sitting around for 20-240 minutes twiddling your thumbs is FUN to you lord have mercy on you.
YOU need to make sure and talk to SE and EVERY company in the world and get those rose colored glasses into production. I want the first pair...

Such anger

Wow, I think you need to relax. To some people, crafting is fun.

He voiced his choice of what to do during the down time, someone agreed, everyone else gives some input of what they do to while away the time and everyone goes home happy. Wouldn't that have been better?

Ranked up with the Amaljaa so just doing my 6 daillies with them and hopefully the sylph daily fate respawn timer will be increased by the time i am done with the Amaljaa.

Oh wow neato. Looky mommy while I dwell away endless time I'm appalled people can't waist all the time in the world to do DAILIES.... Not everyone dwells in basement and has completely unlimited time to just make muffins in video game.
Now as to be Practical how about reading the post below yours. It's a reasonable opinion of how to handle it till the devs fix what IS plain and simple a terrible design. As per YOUR recommendations we all post what we could do to kill 20-240mins
I do believe the devs have STRICTLY said such talk is against the forums rules. And per your view you are recommending such and I hope not everyone is so naïve. This topic isn't about 'oh looky what I can do to kill 1-2 hrs. It's about a daily quest
that was poorly designed. A few good recommendations have been made. If you truly think voicing opinions about what all million things you can do ingame in 20-240 minutes helps this post in any form or fashion than I leave that to your great
quest of endless insight of nothingness.

I mostly hated that most of the dailies are quick and easy to find and do, and when i got this, i only needed 5 phil to get a new item, and it took forever for me to find it, then missed it before it ended. Took an hour or so for it to pop again, after another fate popped there before it. Just seemed so out of whack with the other dailies, which are pretty quick. Not a hard fate, done with only two of us there doing it, but that wait seemed so odd compared to other dailies. :\

This fate you refer to is flawed. For one.. it's not soloable given they place the Spawn spot for this FATE in the middle of a herd of aggroing mobs once you level sync.

You could pull just the Magitek to a safe zone but then your forced to whittle down the ridiculous amount of HP in the given 12 min for the FATE.

As a Healer in cleric stance there is no way to kill this mob with the given time.
I have not tried with a DPS class but .. i am sure you would soon run out of HP b4 the mob does.

A dps and healer class with a couple of chocobos could end this FATE but... would be close on the timer.

I only completed this FATE once. It was given as a choice to repeat a couple days later and i just pass on it. Not worth the time.
