I was honestly pretty disheartened you have to complete 60 FATEs to get the untradable scroll in a zone and then multiple FATEs to get orchestrions in cities like Old Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han.
My point is that they really should be more careful when considering certain rewards because a lot of players, especially those from Crystal have 1 or more alts.
I suspect as the expansion continues they'll do the same thing they did during Shadowbringers - lower the rank required to obtain certain item and add new rewards like the second day cycle theme. You'd still need to do almost as many FATEs as needed to hit Rank 3 to get the gemstones to buy both rolls so it's not really a burden. You would just need to actually play your alt to get the gemstones instead of using your main to feed them items.

You're not bring forced to do anything. FATEs and the rewards you can buy with gemstones are 100% optional.

There is always something to buy with gemstones once you have the other items you want - the crafting materials. The hides/skins for LTW tend to retain value because most players hate farming them through mob kills.
