I solo'd a HW FATE on Astrologian as I passed by it, and it did demand my attention in that were I to pull 3 mobs at once, I'd have to spend more time self healing than DPS'ing. So I burned it down two mobs at a time, finished it in a few minutes, and was rewarded with a paltry 14k exp. Having supplemented my AST's leveling with Coerthas and N.Than FATES, needless to say I was disappointed in the turnout and promptly went on my way to my MSQ waypoint. The FATE's are in need of an exp buff, or we've yet to see how quickly level 50+ characters in FATE parties will be able to clear FATE's.

Open world mobs are more than just a nuisance now, which is a nice change. Although a bit spongy at lower levels, they do provide some danger to the world, a welcome and fitting change to the harsh landscapes of Ishgard.
