Why even bother sometimes?

I used to get so angry when BLM's would spam blizzard II during fates to aggro all incoming enemies. lol

[Wulfyn]

Now they spam stuff in town lol .... Something is wrong when a FATE is finished with 12 minutes left, which just happened to one I was gonna join.

Aye I must admit the downing down for higher level players should be alot more. I remember doing my Atma and even I struggled with certain fates as they just died within like 2 hits.

You think that's bad huh? I have a worse one. Yesterday there was a WHM aeroing all of the mobs and running in a circle repeatedly. I was there Atma grinding and I'm guessing he was too but the poor low lvl'd pally couldn't hit anything. It was really aggravating to see :/

You could have asked them to team up you know. That way the kill credit is shared.

I try to make sure to let lower level players tag mobs before I attack. That way they get the experience for killing the mob and get to participate. Then the whole region shows up at around 10 minutes and that's it; fate's over in a few seconds.

Doesn't help that much. He may get Gold but he will also get 0 EXP. If he is Level 10 and the others in the group Level 50, he doesn't get a single experience point.

What? I'm pretty sure this isn't how it works in a sync'd FATE, though I could be wrong.

For me, I tend to skip most FATE grinding and just do hunt logs and mob grinding until 10, then Guildhests, huntlogs and the oddball FATE until 16, then a combination of dungeons\hunts and some FATEs while waiting. I don't like to hardcore FATE until around 30 at which point you can start going into Coerthas parties. that's where the hard core FATE leveling happens (at least on Balmung). I feel your pain in that it's hard to tag mobs at that level, but it's not going to be that way in a few levels so just hang in there.
