Couldn't help but notice the OP posted in the wee hours of the morning. If that's the time you expect people to be populating the areas and doing FATEs, you'd be mistaken. Plus, soloing FATEs is quite feasible as long as you know how not to aggro a million enemies at once. Heck, it's more doable sometimes than it is when areas are overcrowded - when FATEs end in about 30 seconds. (North Thanalan anyone?)

OP does have a point though. We need more ways to level. Some of us don't like whoring out FATEs all day. Make them a "do them if you see them" kind of thing we can do while being preoccupied with something else...like more quests for example.

Nevermind alt leveling. When new classes are put in, are we just gonna be FATE whoring forever? Sorry, but that's so dull I don't even want to think about it. Something needs to be done.
