I have no idea why SE seem to love turning a blind eye to the fact that a good part of their player base is NEW to the game. May have just started because they got it as a Christmas present.
These folks are not going to be able to complete all the event Fates. so it's like a slap in the face to newbies, all for the sake of level 13 gear which is actually USEFUL to players in that level range.

I have 3 kids under age 5, a full time job, plus all the housework to do. Get to play a couple of hours of the game a day.
My kitty girl is level 17.
Am I going to be able to get her to 45 so I can complete the Lightning set? Not a chance in Hell. Might possibly manage to get as far as the third chapter. At least I'll be able to complete the Snow set.

Not understanding why the fates had to be set in such high level areas! considering you have Garlean outposts all over the low level areas anyway, why couldn't two have been set in those areas?
