    If you hate FATEs, just don't do them? Nobody is forcing you. The only reason a level 50 has to do FATEs on a large scale is to get Atmas, but that's an issue with the Atma system itself, which is tied to issues like RNG.

    There is three things that require completing FATEs in order to proceed with content:
    1) Labyrinth of the Ancients
    2) Up in arms (atma farm)
    3) Trials of the braves (book part of the zodiak questline)

    Beast tribe dailies belong to optional content together with special events and seasonal events.

    Even if you count dailies and events into content, you're still not even close to half of the content of the game.

    The majority of content in the game don't require FATEs to be done at all.

    Heck haven't only two seasonal events have a mandatory fate so far, only ones that spring to mind were Summer and Christmas. And I guess you can count the Lightning/XI/dragon quest event in there, but all the other events so far have been quests, an if you're going to complain about having to do a fate to unlock CT, I found having to do specific guildhests to progress the main story was far more annoying.

    Where did I specify what type of content uses fates? Content is content. Go ahead and start a new character and report back at how much fun you're having by avoiding FATEs lol.

    There is no if and or buts about it because there is no way to progress otherwise.
    No body is forcing you yes, but you're missing out on content because of it.

    Atma's, optional, but if you want to progress there's no way to go around it.
    :/

    SE could also force you to kill specific NMs. They could also do it that the NMs despawn if they don't get killed during a specific time frame after it spawned (there would be not a visible timer). And how the claiming works, everyone would be able to fight against the NM for the quest without to claim it.

    Would this be better?
