That was a lot of fun. I'll do this again even though I already got more than enough tokens just because
1) It's just fun. Super casual because you can just keep re-spawning and get right back into action thanks to the small map and no death penalty like a certain other mode with 144 players, which means I can go with any friend I want regardless of their skill level.
2) The fates count towards the do X number of fate achievements while being fast to spawn from one fate to another and little walking.
3) It gives exp and I have some 50's jobs I can bring.

The whole NPC thing aside - they did a good job with this, at least I think so.
