Well, outside of FATEs... They could also do more impromptu Primal raids such as how Odin occasionally comes wandering around the Shroud areas. Of course, there would be some limitations (Such as how Titan would be a cakewalk when he doesn't have a 2 ft wide platform to knock everyone off... So he would likely need some change in mechanics. Or perhaps instead of "Falling to your death" rings, he stomps and puts up spikes that impale you if you get knocked back into them...)
There could also be other events happening. Such as the Beast Tribes having to combat their kin attacking them and requesting adventurers aid, but only when people have their reputation high enough. Something to give becoming BFF's with them meaning rather than the current "Well, now I've maxed my reputation. Goodbye forever!". I was thinking something maybe like how in Rift, you'd get areas and towns changed if a nearby Rift was left unchecked and so if you wanted to go do some side quests in the town, you'd need to beat back the invasion first.
They could expand on Hunts too. I was actually thinking about what if they had like Custom Deliveries but for combat classes. That came in the form of Hunts. Where each week specific people would ask you to hunt for various things, culling a population, gathering pelts/bones/teeth etc. But in large enough quantities where you'd be spending some time to do so but get appropriate rewards.
It would also be possible for them to add random NPC into zones. That are stuff like merchants and civilians travelling between zones that occasionally get attacked by the mobs and if you save them, they give you a small reward. Like, not quite a FATE, but just a little bonus thing. (As well as putting a bit more life into the zones with all those NPC's that are implied travelling but you never see outside a FATE to escort them/protect them)
They could even mix together various types of content.
For example, doing a particular Leve has a chance to cause a specific FATE to spawn. The FATE is one of those series where completing it causes a new FATE, with the final FATE having a chance to spawn a raid Primal.
Like, perhaps you do a Leve in La Noscea somewhere. It then creates a FATE where Sahagin attack. Beating the Sahagin makes big boss Sahagin come out. You beat big boss Sahagin and he goes and gets his pet Kraken to come and take you on. After beating the Kraken the Sahagin then summon Leviathan to protect them.
