Discussion and Possible Action to Address Adventurers Repeating FATEs for Exp

[Kyrj]

I don’t think that running FATEs to level is as common as you are suggesting. Personally, I might have done a couple of fates to get my jobs to level 15 but after that I basically haven’t done any.

I also think that SE going back to old zones to add new FATEs or remix old FATEs would be very unlikely.

It's not common at all. FATEs are basically forgotten about by SE and I think they only add them into new expansions out of tradition. They'll spend countless hours for useless shit like adventure plates and islands but god forbid they make FATEs actually useful for leveling.

They are useful for leveling once you're past ARR and especially once into Stormblood, where the Forlorn Maiden for XP bonus got introduced. They're just unlikely to ever be the most efficient way to level with all the leveling options we currently have. Which is just as well - make them too efficient and the zones would become packed, making it awkward for players trying to enter the zones to do other things. We've seen that happen when FATEs in older zones were being farmed for relics.

Use them to level or not as you wish.
