Im aware that this game is incredibly popular, but FFXIV is well past the point where there are people engaged in every fate. And the game is definitely past the point of there being huge amounts of people in each questing area. Even on servers like Giglamesh.

So why the hell does SE think it's acceptable to drop fates on questing destinations? This is ridiculous. You dont have the numbers to possibly think fates are being completed each time they pop up. Impeding players from completing a quest is an unacceptable practice.

And dont give me that crap about doing something else, fanboy apologists. If you get caught up doing other stuff, there is a good chance that the fate will return as you make your way back to the quest in question. Or it will drop right on you.
Im just one subscription, so im sure SE doesnt care about me, but im strongly thinking of not resubbing next month. I dont have time to deal an absolutely stupid design such as fates ruining my questing progression.
