you broke fates... why?

[Insidious]

yada yada yada i'm better than you ur bad stop whining working as intended yada yada yada

The fact that little to no one does fates now can't be possibly intended, and if it is it's completely utterly stupid. There are plenty of people "complaining" as you call it, but have no use for people like you who wear rose tinted goggles and believe that everything is fine. Fate mobs could hurt you before, now with scaling it ramps up their damage to the point that if you are a dps class, you're probably screwed. Sure, you can tank the mobs and take little damage, but then you aren't going to get anywhere. Same with healers, except if the mob was scaled up so high due to the prior fate group you'll get blown up. Oh I know, let's form a party to kill the mobs...wait, then you can't queue up for DF at the same time which is going to relegate you to less xp/hr. Max level is the ultimate goal in this game, as the game opens up at 50. Extending that period by lowering the amount of xp you get from fates, rendering fates/fate groups dead, and not really doing much for a dps queue is stupid. It's going to lead to people leaving the game because you are forced to grind longer than what you previously were doing to get to level 50. Let's leave aside from people trolling you in DF not accepting it, or just plain going afk or w/e else in the dungeon. Either you have not done enough fates to form a properly subjective opinion, or you have such thick rose colored glasses you are blind to the ineptitude.

Also, if people such as yourself are content with what they deem as whiners leaving the game, then so be it. Enjoy the game what other people deem as broken or untested alone because there are other things to do anyway.
