They decreased the time those FATEs are present for (15 minutes -> 10 minutes) to increase the rate at which they appear. The problem in the East Shroud is that there's 4 FATEs that get cycled through so it's a half hour wait if no one's running the other FATEs in the sequence. Meanwhile the Kobolds alternate between the two FATEs and are much quicker to get through. Boar Wars still isn't worth relying on.

Basically they fixed the Sahagin and Kobald ones pretty much. The issue with the other ones is how the FATE system works. Without a substantial overhaul of its functionality (and all the testing and bug fixing that would entail) its hard for them to substantially reduce the others noticeably. They said they would look at it and see if they could find some way to make it better but I wouldn't take it as a certainty at this point.

I think it would be easier then they let on to fix, they have access to every in game code. Some beast fates pop quite nice now, but 2 are still way too slow imo. I no longer require doing them but for those that do, i feel for ya.

They mentioned the following in the latest Live Letter:

Q: To accompany changes in Patch 3.2, FATE spawn times have been reduced for FATEs related to the beast tribe daily quests. However, the spawn timing for "What a Boar" and "Quenching the Flame" seem to be longer than others. Please reduce the spawn time for these FATEs!

A: While we have made adjustments to the four FATEs associated with the Sylph, Amalj'aa, Kobold, and Sahagin quests, the only FATEs where the changes were really noticeable were Kobold and Sahagin. This is because two of the FATEs for each tribe take place in parallel, so the frequency for both increased. However, the Slyph and Amalj'aa FATEs are tied into three other FATEs, so the wait time may seem longer. FATEs are integrated into a very complex system, so any revisions to that system take quite a bit of time to process. But we'll continue to look into this and make adjustments as necessary.

In short, they are working on it. (^_~ )

It’s mostly the “Quenching Flames” FATE for the “Pulling Fangs” quest and the “What a boar” FATE for the “Boar wars” quest where you might have to wait several minutes before they spawn.

But, these FATE’s are linked to other FATE’s within the area, so by completing those FATE’s, you will force the previous 2 FATE’s (Quenching Flames” and “What a boar”) to appear. The problem is, we don’t really know which FATE’s they are linked to, otherwise we could chase those FATE’s down and complete them.

The other downside is that if you do chase them, the chances are that you might not make it in time to actually get credit for the FATE’s you need (since they can usually be completed within the minute they spawn).

Something that helped me with the Daily Beastmen quest, was that i would chase those FATE’s down whenever i see them pop (even if i don’t need it for the Beastmen quests for that day). So, by the time you actually get “Pulling fangs” or “Boar wars”, you would already have the quest item sitting in your inventory.
