Fun for you. So go to those places. What you find fun is not necessarily the same as what other people find fun. You have places to do what you enjoy - leave other places for those who enjoy different things.

The one change I'd really like to see to FATEs is changing how they scale. Right now, the scaling of a FATE is based on how many people participated in that FATE the previous time it spawned, but that can leave either a whole group wiping a fate in seconds before people can participate, or a FATE becoming literally (mathematically) impossible to complete if it was swarmed the last time and now has only a few people participating. WoW has a system where world boss mobs have their HP changed on the fly as more people are added to the aggro list. I'd be for something similar going into effect here in FFXIV so that FATE scaling is based on the people currently participating in a FATE instead of those who did last time.
