I wouldn't call sitting and waiting for a FATE to pop an integral part of the experience or a challenge. I see no problem with having an item issues to players that they can use to start a FATE when they buy the books.
I did all the books, I honestly don't recall sitting and waiting for FATEs that much. Prioritize them above all as soon as you get a new book and check all the zones where they spawn. If none of them are up then do one of the dungeons the book requires and then check again. Still have some FATEs to cross off but they still aren't up? Go to another zone and kill the overworld mobs then check again. One of the FATEs being stubborn and still hasn't spawned? Then tackle the leves (I leave Leves for last because some of them are the really annoying kind where they ask you to kill like 6 mobs then you have to park your rump on the zone for 5 minutes and do nothing since you can't leave)
If done this way then there is very little waiting for FATEs since your keeping busy with all the other tasks in the book. In the very rare occasion where a FATE has decided to be a pain today, then you can also spend time collecting some needed Alexandrite for a future step. (Don't know if this is an option if it's your first ARR Relic though)
The only FATE someone should purposefully wait for is the "Surprise" FATE in Upper La Noscea, since it's the only Defend the NPCs or fail fate.





Bagoly and Quartz Coupling can be a pain with spawning as well as the Coerthas one near the giants spawned by the NPC. Oh and the one in the shards in Mor Dhona.I did all the books, I honestly don't recall sitting and waiting for FATEs that much.
