Remove PotD

[Kohdo]

SE should implement more multi-part FATEs with a powerful boss to defeat at the end of them, with the fate chain giving good exp. Make it a better use of their time than running PotD. It is a shame to see such a beautifully designed world lying empty while everyone spams PotD to level 50.

I find it funny that people keep saying the worlds empty and no ones doing fates...yet I see people doing fates....granted its not a crowd...but people still do them.
Be careful not to make foolish assumptions. Just because you don't do them..doesn't mean others don't.

Depends on server i guess. FATE's needs give more XP so ppl are wanting to do it.

I think even today most popular fate grind is still Coerthas Central Highlands even today.

Fair point....but like i said...not grounds enough to remove PotD or to nerf at that rate.

Palace of the Dead is a nice challenge so that people can get a preview of the job and level up in the process if low level. It also offers decent weapons as a reward and even a challenge to master their job if they want to challenge it solo. Over all it is a pretty decent dungeon for those who like to solo, don't want o wait for queue do to their short temper, or just want a nice challenge. While it may not give as much xp as constant fates, which I really hate myself, it has a nice penalty. If you fail you don't get XP from boss. Not sure why people want to nerf it, it is not that hard to begin with. Once you reach 100+ it gets interesting. Now if people are complaining to starting points over 100 I can understand the frustration if they get DC.

See, I think most people are looking at the first part of my original point in removing PotD, but honestly, the thing I would like to see is for SE to implement something in the game to bring life back to the older areas. Before PotD, ALL the areas were bustling with people. Now, with PotD, .....tumbleweeds. I do think PotD has its uses, but I personally would rather see something done to make overworld levelling done in older areas. I don't know about you guys, but I honestly would rather level in the beauty of the worlds we have rather than circle through PotD.

And yes, I appologize for maybe miswording - an ALTERNATIVE to PotD and FATES to incorporate levelling in older non-used areas. I think this would also mix sprouts with experianced players in the same area. It was nice waiting on a FATE and helping newbies at the same time.

Maybe, if something like a levelling instance is created in one of the older areas. You create a party of 4 and you move from literally one end of the map to the other killing monsters and meeting some objectives....picking up chests along the way, then at the end you have a mini boss. This way, you fill up older areas. I dunno.....Like I said, it's just kinda sad seeing empty locations - Neph, I know you say they aren't EMPTY, but I'm talking about breathing some life back into these areas....not having a couple peeps and their chocobos just hitting the odd FATE. And on my server, (Sarg) pretty much anything older than Stormsblood is a ghost-town.....well, the Shire still has a few stragglers, but stilll....Anyone else have any ideas?

Well there is a reason why it's called old content. No point in having larger difficulty in old content were players may accidentally go into it. Not sure if you ever played v1 , the outskirts had lvl 80+ mobs were players could access at level 1 lol. yeah was not fun. Now if you think about it unless they decide to do something along the lines of perhaps building an ultimate type of relic using old relic weapons older content areas don't seem that interesting. Maybe with their expansion of relic gear future plans old areas might be needed and such. We can only recommend and give them ideas. Maybe pull a FFXI Dynamis in older areas? Before the fall would be a nice challenge. Or wing of the Goddess where we can travel back to experience v1 for those whoa re interested. The Content was hard and fun in my opinion.

I find running SB fates is way faster than PotD (500k exp for a floor and 400-600k exp for fates during the same duration). The fastest way to level from 60-70 is Roulettes/same level dungeons. Other than that Fate grinding is way faster.
