I only want one thing: World events.

No, not those worthless Fates. I mean events which have a global impact. After all, we're supposed to be at war with the Garlean Empire yet aside from a handful of FATE skirmishes we never see hide nor hair of them outside their bases. There could be big battle events around the map and victory would win you territory while losing would give up ground to the Garleans. Fights could be scaled to the zone to encourage maximum participation.

Losing your home turf (for example, the Black Shroud) could result in Garlean skirmishes spilling into the streets of Gridania so you can mount a defensive.

Right now the world is too static. We need more dynamo!
