How is running the same dungeons over and over more fun than farming atmas? for my it's the same repetitiveness, at least the atma part can be done at your own pace w/o being locked for 20 min in an instance.

For the rest, i agree even though a 50% of your post can be tldr'd as "i hate fates", there nothing wrong about hating them, the fate system was implemented on the worst way possible just like hunts.
