Square enix get rid of FATES.

[Alphoter5]

Let me remember something really important to you: 1.0 was complete and transcendental crap, a total shame for Square Enix and a cause for ridicule in all the gamer community. Now 2.0 broke all odds of success and is an AMAZING experience that lots and lots of people are enjoying ... and you say we should go back to how 1.0 was..................... ok.

What do you mean 1.0 was crap... Surely if it was crap they wouldn't have rebuilt the game from the ground up... /end sarcasm

I have been playing this game since beta in 1.0 FATES do not make this game what it is not even close. That is one way of leveling and IMO a pretty shitty way. 1.0 did not have fates 1.0 was great. We had open world bosses that you could actually kill because it was your party fighting it not the whole server. Looking at your profiles yall don't look to experienced with the game just saying, and god does no exist.

"We had open world bosses that you could actually kill because it was your party fighting it not the whole server"... Perhaps i'm ignorant but this seems like a fate to me... As per the other 2 comments, If you have been playing this game since beta you have experience with the game and because we didn't play with 1.0 (which was tanked because it sucked) means that we cant compare it, and im glad for that because good games don't get cancelled... God doesn't exist, not saying i believe in jesus but i sure as hell believe there's something bigger than me in this universe...

Because it is completely unheard of for someone to like something you think is trash. Wait... isn't that what Spartacus_Owen is saying about FATEs and you're saying the opposite?

In the later stages of 1.0 the game was actually really good, odd and slow UI aside. It was deemed a failure for the launch at 1.0, not for its ending before being taken down for a remake (which they only did because they had such a poor launch, if it had launched how it was just before 1.0 ended, it'd have been met with less criticism).

The game was shut down because it was terrible, that's the reason.
THE REASON. lol

There were some HNMs in XI that needed alliances to beat. They weren't FATEs that anyone could attack. Once your alliance had claim on the monster, no one outside your party could attack it. Imagine Odin but with only 8-12 people able to attack him if they were grouped together. Everyone else could just stand around and watch.

We can use leves for that without locking everybody else out of a random spawn.

I'm just explaining the difference. Also, you didn't fight for exp. You fought for the drops. You'd stand around for hours and hours just hoping your group could get claim. Having a laggy connection could be the difference between success and an entire wasted day.

I am aware. T'was a terrible system. I'm just saying that FFXIV already has the leve system which is pretty much tailor-made for fair use of this, avoiding the problems of FF11's spawn camps.

Saying 1.0 is crap is your opinion much like me saying FATES are crap. IMO I would much rather have 1.0 than the current game with FATES any day. Ifrit and Garuda are too easy now. 1.0 was a lot more challenging in many aspects now this game just gives you everything. Take crafting for example in 1.0 it was rare to see people with Heavy Darksteel Gear let alone HQ version... Alot of people have all crafters 50 and all can make the Ilvl70 gear HQ no problem dropping the worth to 500k. There is more to this game that I do not like than just the FATE system like I said it is my opinion and I prefer 1.0 to 2.0 any day. I am not going anywhere since I am a FF fan and I do like the game I just don't like everything about it.

[Alphoter5]

Not just my opinion. The opinion of many, many people that play 2.0 and didnt play 1.0. You think SE will go back to a system that had their game with almost no players (or like 1/10 of the ones they have now) ???
nonsense. You dont like 2 FATES and want to get rid of all of them. Just Lol, man. Lol.
