Zodiac Weapon Fates

[Tupsi]

I think people on the forums are misplacing blame. The FFXI and older MMO crowd that wanted a longer quest and something to work towards, that you couldn't get in a day.. was also looking for open world stuff that was fun an engaging. I've never heard any of them say they liked fates, and wanted to do all of the ones currently available over and over again. Some aspects of the quest (the part after you get done with the 12 atmas) seem to be more that style.. but the fate part really isn't. That's just SE trying to shove Fates down people's throats. The "1%" didn't ask for that.

Exactly, I know absolutely no one who wanted more FATE grinding, yet it's funny how the 'FFXI crowd" and "less than 1%" crowd are being blamed for this when people were saying SE would never listen to those crowds haha. It seems people (including SE) forgot what "open world content" meant honesty, we want FAtEs to be gone in terms of end-game or even seasonal events.

Totally with you there, even if we rarely agree on stuff. I actually don't mind the 2nd portion of the weapon quest.. it's just the "do the same old FATES till your eyes bleed and hope you get a drop" portion that I want to go away. Totally fine with saving up a huge amount of myth, killing x number of mobs, having to craft or gather some rare something, take down group based objectives.. all those are trackable, and can be very fun. Fates reduce me to sitting around spamming flash (or my 1-2 combo since I have to level down all the time). Doesn't even require me to pay attention to my screen

Thank the hardcore idiots for this, they cried for it endlessly....

Somehow I don't think the "hardcore" people asked for more FATE BS.

Considering grinding low level FATE's != hardcore.
