Here is what needs to happen to make FATEs more interesting/useful.

NM (Notorious Monster) FATES
  • Random spawn across multiple maps (like Odin)
  • Significant random window for spawning
  • Does not show up on any maps until first engaged.
  • Drop % modified by the following factors: first to engage, battle rank, same level as mob, etc.
The problem is that if the rewards are good they will be camped/monopolized (And thus people will complain that the content is not accessible enough) and if the rewards are not good then nobody will use the content and it will be wasted. It's a lose/lose and probably the reason why they have not tried to address the problem with FATEs despite everyone telling them that they're problematic.
