Atmas - Unfair for low level players

[Ashgarth]

...I'm usually the first there. Of course, in about 15-30 seconds the horde shows up...

That is the problem. We all experienced the fate zerg when the game started but right now, specially when the ps4 version is about to start, new players find themselves in a game where their main source of leveling (besides quests) and the only open world content they can make gets overrun and finished by lvl 50 players in a matter of seconds.

Imagine the experience of joining a fate as a new player, preparing to fight what seems like a challenging boss or protecting an npc and, suddenly, a horde of lvl 50 players comes by, kills everything in 20 seconds and leaves.

It completely ruins the experience for new players and it wont stop for months because the drops rate is ridiculous and we have to do it for every weapon we want to upgrade.

You left out the part of the quote that goes on to say "...and I still easily get a gold." You completely quoted me out of context. I've had no problems getting golds on my alt character in FATEs despite the horde.

It's all well and good if your there first, but pre-level 30 players have no access to a mount they will never be there first unless the FATE happens to spawn nearby.

The OP has made a very good point. It's easy to see the Atma thing from a 50's point of view, but from a low level perspective sure they probably designed the new system to make the area's look more populated but at what cost? The original intention of the FATE system to a low level player is completely gone xD
