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?

Participation.

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)

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

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.

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

I dunno, I can make that many scrips with 10 pots of soup. And then I can keep making more. That only takes a couple minutes and it can be done forever. I think people just see the big number and don't think about like scrips per hour or whatever.

From what I understood, even people without any crafts could partecipate in the FATE. So that would be the only way they get scrips if they really can't be bothered to craft. Also, at lower levels scrips are much slower to make. I used the occasion today to level my lowest crafts, which were late 40s, and in half a day or more I only made a few hundred scrips.
If they have already maxed crafters though..I guess being able to get rewards from just afking.

A sense of pride and accomplishment?


The devs forgot the game they are developing is online, again.
