You're going to have to excuse the gaming community, op. It's currently impossible to mention a suggestion like this without people who already have something getting afraid of other people having it too. How else will they be able to feel "special"?

I've done the novus thing a couple times and while I agree with some of the people that that stage isn't so bad, it's pretty clear that there is no reason to be using fates when the yield is drastically lower than doing hunts for both soldiery and allied seals. Having options is nice I suppose, but I'm not a big fan of having "useless" methods in a game either, so I understand where you're coming from.
