Zodiac Weapon quests's feedback to Yoshida (since you asked for it from your letter)

Yeah, It did work as intended... but there was one fatal flaw about that and I saw it when Atma came out... Low levels weren't gaining enough exp because 1) The Fates were doing down quicker than you can say hello, and 2) New players don't have access to mount's so moving inbetween fates would be very slow compared to a lvl50. So in my opinion, the design for Atma/FATE was a very poor decision and should never be repeated again..!

Only point 2 is relevant, as all members of a fate are the same level range.

We all have to eke out max enmity, which means aoe, ranged pulls, whatever. Noone has a special advantage, unless you consider hotbar familiarity.
