Buff fate exp gain in the new zones. Noone is doing them at all.

[Delorean]

More exp by a very good margin and make them more infrequent. So FATEs become what they should be, a big event to break up the monotony of grinding, instead of what it is, a monotonous grind because it's available and gives so much exp.

i dont really care because grinding in and of itself is monotonous... but hw fates shouldnt be giving less exp than normal lv 49 fates

[Mirakumi]

North Than prob needs to get nerfed exp, and then bump exp in the new zones. Honestly PF has been like 8 parties soley to north than.

I've been in those groups as well and people are staying in NT all the way to 60, had 3 58s and 2 54s in the pt lol

I don't get why other then its the lazy persons way of lvling up. It's more time consuming but you don't have to do anything but run from fate to fate. I did it from 56-57 and it took fooorrrrrrrrreeeeevvvvvveerr vs had I quested in the new zones. Don't nerf the exp in Than, UP the exp in the new zones. Thatll hurt people lvling up from the 40's-50. Just increase the Fate exp in the new zones.

Increase Fate exp in new zones, Increase mob exp in new zones, problem solved. Im getting anywhere from 200-400 exp from lvl 58 mobs and I need nearly 3 million. Yeah, wtf..

[Gooner_iBluAirJGR]

The exp from mob kills could definitely go up but the FATEs themselves are pretty decent especially with the armory bonus. In the Dravanian Hinterlands @58 I'm getting 33k-38k per FATE. I had a nice group of 3 + 3 chocobos going today and the exp came fast.

Yeah don't nerf that zone. Get the high level players out by buffing the fates they should be doing.

I decided to level an alt I have around 45 today. The next MSQ was 46 and I had already done dailies. No big deal. I teleported to NT to do a handful of fates so I could continue slogging through story missions but...the lag was so bad I couldn't cast, I couldn't run or even tell if I was standing in anything because there is a horde there so large its become impossible for people leveling to 50 to do so in the zone they are supposed to. Its frustrating to say the least. I'm stuck doing fates in Coerthas because unless I join a fate party and pretty much let them carry me, I could not accomplish anything in NT. Fix this please. Its not just high level people hurting. Its making the 45-50 people suffer to.

I didn't really believe this until I tried it. Dravanian Hinterlands is actually good at 57 on up. And its easy. Its definitely better than N.Thanalan fates. Out of all of the new heavenward zones, DH is the best one for fates.

[Blanchimont]

Honestly, I think they could nerf Northern Thanalan experience gains from FATEs by 50% and people would still do them. The new zones are just terrible. The mobs are much tougher and the FATEs take longer, but the rewards are similar to the level 48 and 49 FATEs from Northern Thanalan until you hit the 56+ area. At that point, FATEs start giving more, but the mobs still suck.

[Rover1983]

Don't nerf anything -

Increase XP gains in HW fates
Increase XP gains from Monsters in HW zones(This is needed big time as mob difficulty went up noticeably and mob exp is still shit and I do not get why devs are anti-mob grind... its just another means of progressing. Nothing wrong with that)

Problem solved. Nerfing old content will do nothing but harm the game/community's mindset.

On my server - Adamantoise, most zones that are below 30ish are empty. Hardly any players at all which is to be somewhat expected but at the same time leads me to believe the server population isn't the healthiest. Can anyone on the higher pop servers shed some light on populations on their servers in even some of the zones below 30? Even Coerthas is becoming empty which is sad as its a great fate zone. Granted, I know people are getting higher but it is nice having a populated server where I don't have to dread switching to one of my lower classes if I want to and know I will be able to do some content. My main problem is, I cannot figure out what class to level next to 60... I've got 53 Summoner, 37 BM, 30 Monk, 33 Astro. I can't tell which roles I would like. Im partial to tanking so picking something that's not a tank is somewhat confusing sometimes. I've played Monks in every game that has had one so I tend to lean towards that but now that Dungeon finder queue times are back to the usual slow pop times for dps, healing may be better. I don't know...

[Wintersandman]

I can say on Ultros that Coerthas and Eastern La Noscea have fate grinding parties.

Another fix is to buff Dungeon EXP. Cutter's Cry was awarding more EXP than Aery. As a tank I only run each dungeon once since the exp wasn't worth it.

Ugh Northern Thanalan is pretty horrible now. Pretty easy to kill and the crowd that makes lag.
