    IMO the best thing they can do to the FATE system to make it less boring is replace some of the common FATES from time to time with harder/rarer FATEs that will actually dominate a party if you don't play it correctly.

    These fates should reward you with better EXP, more gil, more seals, and maybe even rare drops. They should also wipe you if you are being lazy/not actually playing your class properly.

    When there are 50-100 people doing a FATE(like Svara) it doesn't really matter to play your class properly and not being lazy or any of that. You can have "harder" FATEs but they will either be overzerged or ignored if they are too hard. FATE groups aren't going to be actually playing with strategy or trying to optimize their roles.

    Dungeons should offer more xp given it's done in a party but I want FATE party to be viable still because it keeps the zones more lively. The last thing you want is a server with deserted outdoor zones and everyone stuck in instances, which will kill whatever vibe is left in the game. I do think FATE can last given the nation seal reward though.

    Keeps the zones alive? Pretty sure FATEs are done in less than 5 zones... Starter Zone > Quarrymill > Costa del Sol > Coethas > Bluefog.. Doesn't really keep zones alive at all. If you ask me making Dungeon EXP better will keep zones alive, since if i'm going to run a particular dungeon for EXP, i'd be shouting in the zone it resides in. That's just my opinion though.

    I like the gorgimera fate. You can survive as a DPS and laugh at all the dead bodies. I think it's the best FATE in the entire game.

    I remember doing that fate thinking 'there's no way they'll put Dragon's Voice in an outdoor zone with 50 players around a mob' and then I saw Dragon's Voice being cast. Fun times.

    I believe FATE's are still going to be the go to source for many players. I don't think queue times are going to decreases for players who are queuing up as damage dealers.
