Are massive groups allowed to farm FATES?

I followed large group doing fates other day. Made getting my 2 weapons easy and fast. You should been here in ARR, fates were how ones would level up and there were huge groups of players running them. Huge groups are not against the rules or all those running hunt trains would be in trouble. Maybe join a fate party or create one for running fates.

huge fate farming groups was the norm in ARR. so yes, its allowed. People just dont do fates much anymore cause they been nerfed hard as they used to be comparable to dungeon exp.

Of Course it is allowed. It is just hard to do Fates needed for the Event currently because blue mages Delete them before the normal Jobs can even Tag them. Playing Tank can mitigate that.

Fates are supposed to scale the more people do them, so technically speaking yes, it's allowed. Why wouldn't it be? It's an open world event.

No they dont, fates dont scale. If they scaled, specific hard fates would be even harder with lots of people, instead they become easier.

Are massive groups farming FATES allowed? Jw if this is allowed or not. I haven't been able to do multiple because a group of at least 30+ people, at least that's what it looks like, are tagging everything. A lot of us cant participate in them now.

Just find other fates or camp fate areas so your group can do them. There's a lot of people so it will be hard to please everyone.

Incorrect.

They have scaled based off number of participants since at least 2015. You might want to look into that.

In fairness, I think SE should implement auto-sync for higher level players the moment they enter the fate.

That's already required, isn't it?

Edit: Oh, are you talking about the event fates, specifically?

I think they mean instead of having to choose to level sync, have it auto-sync so you can just start hitting mobs right away

I'm of the opinion that would be a bad idea. Between maps, A / S ranks, etc., it would cause more problems then it would solve.

I agree with you. I was just trying to clarify for the roe above

Last event, I made a special macro which dismounts me, turns on level sync, and casts an AOE. Replace Unleash with whatever AOE instant-cast ability you have:

/mount <wait.1>
/levelsync on
/ac Unleash

This helps a ton with getting a tag in before the FATE is over. Modify as needed.
