How to fix FATES (and to a degree marks) in three easy steps

[Ultimatecalibur]

The main problem FATEs seem to have is lack of decent non-XP rewards currently. GC seals are worth very little and easy to collect elsewhere and the Gil rewards barely cover repairs.

1. more chain FATEs
Like the one in northern Thanalan, where it start easy and the difficulty increase with every next FATE in the chain. And at the end a hard boss fight.

There are 7 Fate chains that I know of and few are paid very much attention. The lowest level one is Attack on Highbridge (level 24) in East Than and The Hive (level 32) in South Shroud is another. I rarely see either of these chains done. I can not count how many times I've seen Attack on Highbridge: Denouement (this starts spawning when the Attack on High Bridge fates are failed and will keep spawning until completed, and only then will Attack on Highbridge: Prelude start spawning again) or Breaching the Hive (First fate in the Hive chain) timeout. More Fate chains will not do anything unless people are actually doing them.

My suggestion would be to give the following Fates the following Allied Seal rewards for successful (Gold) completion:

Lazy for You - 10
Attack on Highbridge: Act I - 1
Attack on Highbridge: Act II - 1
Attack on Highbridge: Act III - 3
It's Not Lupus - 10
Breaching the Hive - 2
Clearing the Hive - 3
Defending the Hive - 2
Keeping the Hive - 3
Svara's Flight - 1
Svara's Fear - 1
Svara's Fall - 3
Svara's Fury - 3
The Eyes Have It - 20
Dark Devices - The Plea - 1
Dark Devices - The Bait - 1
Dark Devices - The Switch - 1
Dark Devices - The End - 2
Go, Go, Gorgimeria - 20
He taketh It wiith His Eyes - 60
Steel Reign - 60
