Nerf FATEs, but don't

[DSanchez]

People worry way too much about what others do.

This... is one of the biggest problems of the world we live in.

Not sure why you wouldn't worry about what other people do, it does have a massive impact on your gameplay wether you want to admit it or not.

So yeah I'll keep caring about what others do.

Please stop asking to nerf FATE, just ask to buff dungeons.
Otherwise players and SE will only comment on the FATE nerf (and say NO), then ignore the dungeon exp buff, which is what ppl really want.

I agree with lowering the fate spawn time. I've been saying this since day 1. You can't run around the world without tripping over a FATE and the inevitable mass of players that crawl after it.

How's that a bad thing?

I like how this all started by saying let fates be as useful as they are now and make other things rewarding and everyone is as mad as if he said remove them. XD too funny!

All I'd like is for there to be more options after you already have a level 50 job.
Like give the Leves a 50% xp bonus too, and incrase the dungeon XP.
As it is now, if you did all the quests you're only useful option is doing FATE's.
Reducting the spawn timer wont help, people will still do FATE's, since the spawn timers appear to be random for most of them, people won't be doing other things as they would be affraid to miss the FATE spawn.

All in all, I think boosting the XP for other things would be better, rather than reducing FATE's.

I don't necessarily think FATES should be nerfed, but I would like the other leveling options to be buffed to be brought in line with them.

I would say I think leveling from 1-50 should take longer cause it does seem extremely fast at the moment (cause in that sense I guess I would like to see fates lowered to dungeons/levequests, but I'd likely get flamed away.

Bottom line, I want the other options to be equal, or at least relatively close. Until then, we don't really have what I would consider "true" variety when picking how to level in a timely fashion. I think they are buffing dungeon exp and such in 2.1 though. So, another sit and wait time.

Leveling slower doesn't "teach people party dynamics", it just increases the grind for everyone else. Does nobody remember the 4k/hour parties of FFXI? Tales of level 75 full AF DRK consistently whiffing on EXP mobs? Anyone?

I have to say I like fates but, I ran a dungeon the other day for the first time as smn (lower dungeon with some friends.) I noticed I knew very little about my job mechanics. So yes while fates are the fastest and easiest way to level a job do yourselves a favor and run dungeons if only the lower ones so you can practice in a party setting. I know most join parties in fates but honestly they just aren't as good as actual dungeon parties since all fate parties do is steam roll though the mobs.
