In the time it took you to save up for the one epic planar piece, you outleveled its usefulness and needed to start saving for the next one. Unless you got lucky with a string of events with a dozen people around, you were getting minimum rewards due to the time taken to solo them.

So yes, for the most part, they were an inconvenience. FATEs are a choice, and i like that i can choose to participate or not. Rift never gave me the option of continuing to do normal quests around the event, it forced them down my throat.
Also, there was no variety whatsoever in the Rifts. Pull a rift down, you get a spawn of some weak mobs, then some slightly less weak mobs, then a lolboss. If you had enough people to beat the timer, you got the bonus waves... Which was more of the same.
never said they were meaningless. I said they were without threat, and mostly an irritant on low pop Shards.
