It wasn't realistic on my server to do other FATEs while waiting for book FATEs to spawn, because the FATE you wanted would be finished by the time you made it back. A decent amount of my Scholar Animus was done alt tabbed playing Minecraft or Hearthstone on a second monitor, and that's not something that's necessarily positive.

Still, I think Taste of Fear might be the one FATE that was overlooked in their little balance pass a bit ago. Even Taken felt like it spawned faster than Taste of Fear.
