What would you add / change to the FATE system?

I have a scary image of dozens/hundreds of gil-farming bots grinding FATEs now.

But TBH, SE knows there's too much gil in the economy and have been reducing the amount that's being generated in a variety of ways, whether by nerfing the sell costs on demimateria or removing the gil from collectable turn-ins.

Adding more rewards to old FATEs would be nice, but raw gil drops is not the best way to go about doing it.

I disagree. We need non-crafting and non-gathering way of getting decent Gil. If Gil was easier to get, people wouldn’t be buying Gil from the Gil vendors in the 1st place. The problem with adding tomestones & seals with low cap, or collectible is once you cap or get the collectible, you’ll most likely stop doing the Fates. Gil has a super high cap and if you have a goal in mind in how much Gil you want to earn, you’ll just keep farming until you reach your goal.

I agree there should be Gil sinks, but there needs to be easier way of getting Gil in the 1st place that’s not just exclusive to crafting & gathering.

I farm Gil doing Hunt Bills, but once you run out, that’s it, farming ends. Unless they give us an infinite amount of hunt bills, giving us a new one when we finish one, it will have to be Fates to farm Gil. With Fates, they continue to pop and you could farm for much as you like, but the amount spent farming should be worth it and it currently isn’t.

I would like to add to my previous comment on the amount of Gil drops per Fate. I think that the “S Rank” Fates like Steropes, Dzu, or Daimyo, should give a huge Gil drop like a million and the “SS Rank” Fates like Odin, Coeurlregina, or Ixion, should give a massive Gil drop like ten million. Maybe I’m being ridiculous with the Gil amount, but they should definitely hike the Gil drop, because once you got what you need from those Fates, you would most likely skip them from then on, making it tougher for new people to do them. We always are in need of Gil, which is why crafters & gatherers are needed, so we can buy their merchandise.
