And FATEs bred nothing but bad players, good riddance IMO. Yes I know there are still plenty of terrible players at high level, but it's getting better.
Fates didn't make bad players, that's just silly. Idiots made bad players, and still do. Doesn't take a genius to know that if your tank is @ 25% health, cast a cure, not more stone II's. Or if your healer has pulled hate to try some kind of enmity tool to get it off the life of the party? Sure fates are pretty mindless and don't take much thought, but if you're on PLD and don't know you're a tank, there are bigger issues than easy exp. Even if they were new to MMO's, just look @ how others play classes. That's how i learned on my first MMO FFXI.
