Square enix get rid of FATES.

If you nerf the rewards then no one runs them. Not only was it a waste of developer effort, but now it becomes a blight across the map as all players find countless active fates ticking down with no one bothering to complete them (I already see this plenty). Players retreat to dungeons for not only gear but also experience, making the world look even more barren. The content is left ignored, completely trivialized in every sense.

I was heavily farming dungeons until a week ago, but frankly its even less enjoyable to do than farm fates. Farming dungeons was prone to hysteric group members and a weak loot system, and I started crafting because dungeons were so bad. In farming fates, I've actually found the content to be enhanced, if only because I'm being exposed to it. And frankly, anything to make leveling go faster is fine by me, because there are so many bars to grind.

See I am the opposite. I despise FATE farming and quite enjoy dungeon running for exp. Frankly I find fates boring and trivial and with all the blm spamming blizzard2 it also becomes annoying. Leveling should be enjoyable but everyone enjoys different things. The only issue I have with fates is ppl use them to burn up their jobs then have no idea how to play them. Fates have their ups and downs but for me its mostly downs.

SE is relying too much on the fate system and, as usual, completely underestimating their audience's abilities due to listening too closely to the vocal few.

Ah the good old dont know how to play their job excuse. this is complete and utter bs. it is not fates that cause people to be not skilled in their class. it is their lack of wanting to experiment with their rotations. Ive seen plenty of people in dungeons for lower levels that just sit and spam 1 thing because they are just grinding the dungeon for xp. A person has to want to learn their class for them to be considered good in your eyes.
And SE isnt listening to the vocal few because the vocal many like fates and want to keep it that way. SE is being a smart business and tweeking them to better suit your wants while still not nerfing them into the ground like the vocal few want. Y would they please 2% of the population and piss off 98%?
