Saying remove potd is a bit much when we are expecting the next version of potd coming up, and it’s content that’s already implemented I doubt they would ever remove it. Plus some people like it as crazy as that sounds I enjoy it for something to do when I don’t want to do dungeons and so on.
On the fate note, I don’t mind fates but depending on the server you won’t see people doing them much. I saw a ton of people doing them when stormblood launched but it died down. I think fates need to give more xp or something to give more incentive if you want them to be relevant again. (Or make another event like yokai...jk) it also comes down to its easier to find groups for potd over groups for fates, if you prefer not running solo as I do.
