Ishgard Firmament- Didn't get to Participate

[MaiSuu]

This event sounded great from the outside looking in. Until I realized that It's not really fit for a working person. A good 9-5 + any traffic kept me out of doing any of these fates that were popping, in addition to that, I couldn't even try my hand at any on another server cause now we're restricted.

I really hope they change this for any future installments as its really a bummer : \
Pay a sub to get locked out of content I guess...

And yes, I know I'm on balmung, but it'd be nice if they had made instances that lead up to one collective goal. That way some others could participate too

Hoping for the best next time...

TLDR; Crying Over getting Locked out

This is only phase one of MANY, MANY future ones.
Do the FATEs stop entirely after you hit the phase one completion? I'm not on Balmung, so sadly, can't confirm. I figured they'd still allow turnins, and still allow certain FATE-type events to run.
The big event I can see why it may stop once it hits, but there's still more to the process, so stay tuned!

I didnt had the chance yet to see a FATE there, so maybe someone here can enlighten me what the big deal about them is...? From what I've gathered so far they give a lot of exp (...uninteresting for someone with all crafts at 80 - and not even that impressive for someone who doesnt, considering how easy it is to level crafters) and 500 of those scrips. But... that cant be it, right? Because neither of those rewards seem to be worth all this fuss, at least not to me.

So... can someone tell me what I'm missing here and why those FATEs are such a big deal?

It kinda sucks to miss the FATE admittedly, but the only thing you miss out on is a lot of EXP and 500 scrips. I've only managed to do it once myself.

It's pretty quick for something that gives you that big of a reward, I suppose. I got 19 million EXP on my Weaver and leveled to 75.

I think it's exactly the scrips. 500 at once is pretty good.

Some would like to see the changes to the area, but for the majority, it's the rewards.

Participation.

The feeling of being part of the rebuilding process I get! (As some kind of reward, I mean - I just didnt expect that to be a huge factor for a lot of people, but I'm cynical, I guess)

Yeah, I get that - I'm curious to see whats gonna change around there, but I figured one can take a look at any time, basically...

I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything here - neither the exp nor the scrips seem to warrant all this complaining to me... not saying they're not good rewards, but they're also not that difficult to get using the non-FATE method, so I was curious if it was really only that.

[Tlamila]

For me personally it's also not being able to see the progress, yeah. I don't really care about the fates, my pc could never stand that kind of crowd anyway, I just hate that phases went by too fast and I didn't have time to see progress in between. I only got to see it today for the first time because it was my free day from work.

I share the disappointment... I haven't been able to participate at all in the fates on Faerie, but because the fates always have been starting late at night after I'm already in bed. I agree that I hope they just pop at regular intervals if we complete all the progress for this phase just so I can participate.
