Ignoring the very annoying fate scaling, getting 18k from a let's say...level 53(?) FATE is just odd especially since I can just run to Northern Thanalan for better EXP. I thought at first that this was a way to encourage side questing as they weren't as needed in 2.0, so I thought it was ok. However, given our exp table, how will we level in the fields aside from roulette etc. When our main classes ate up our sidequests? I already almost finished all the churning mists quest, and i'm level 56.
