I have to admit, I don't know if this has been addressed already but:
Please, please, make it so you don't automatically join FATEs as a gatherer class. You can't even attack the FATE-monster because it says you need to be a DoW/DoM.
So why force to join, then?
You're not being attacked when you're not level-synced, either!

It is so annoying when you do leves and want to get the speed bonus and all of a sudden a FATE pops right on your leve area.
It either means constant sneaking from one place to the next or constant running away because a horde of Ice Sprites decided to freeze you to absolute zero.

Just let me log away in peace, please....
