Another potentially awesome game does down the drain..

I'd like to see you try and make a game

There's a fault with this.

All jokes aside, game developers are professionals. Your post there is like someone complaining about average mpg of today's cars and you replying "I'd like to see you build a car.". That's not on them to build a car, they purchased one from professionals who work at this all day long for years.

Sorry, Fate grinding is the worst thing I've experienced in an MMO. Party grinding and Quest grinding (save for TERA's which hit a new low) are better than fates. At 50 cap there's soooo shockingly little to do. You can blame me for hitting 50 quickly, but MMO companies know there are players that will. They don't want to dilly dally on random jobs, they knew what job they'd be playing before they installed the game and they want to hit level cap.

Since this can't be shocking news to anyone who considers themselves part of the gaming industry, they need to properly brace for that.
