Fates are one of my favorite things to do to level, but honestly after lvl 50 it isn't practical. There just isn't much insensitive to do them since the rewards are so bad (barely any XP, gil, and seals). Shared Fates were a cool idea but there isn't anything really worth buying with the crystals.

I feel like there is so much more that could be done. Stuff like battles against beast tribes for control over areas, primals spawning and attacking settlements. Heck I think 1.0 had something were viodsent could attack camps and destroy them for a bit unless people stopped them.

I hope fates get more love, but I don't see it happening. Unfortunately the devs seem to prefer pushing things aside rather than improving them
