Beast tribe dailies belong to optional content together with special events and seasonal events.

Even if you count dailies and events into content, you're still not even close to half of the content of the game.

The majority of content in the game don't require FATEs to be done at all.
Where did I specify what type of content uses fates? Content is content. Go ahead and start a new character and report back at how much fun you're having by avoiding FATEs lol.
