I would like to officially petition for the removal of FATEs from all future content

The best way, & I was thinking about this last night after my continuing grind for Legendary Yokai, is to tighten the sync levels for FATEs. As it stands, it's possible to highly over gear & over level them which makes it almost impossible for anyone who is trying to do the fate at the intended level.

I noticed last night that whilst I was levelling Pugilist there would be others who'd be at lvl60 would run in & obliterate the vast majority of mobs using a a couple of AoEs before I could even get my moves off. It made it incredibly unpleasant.

I'd also suggest that you have to stay in the FATE area (purple marker) & synced until the FATE ends to stop people running in, killing a couple of mobs, then leaving one low level player to deal with it yet they get full credit!

And why is that an issue? Because those high leveled and equipped people are pushed into FATEs, which is precisely what the OP states as his issue with FATEs >_>
