FATE Needs to improve for solo players

[Angelforthefallen]

Much has to be desired on this topic. The reason for me posting this is that I can definitely level my Tank and DPS just fine on dungeons. However, DPS classes tend to be challenging when it comes to leveling. Due to much higher queue times in duty finder because of not much availability of people to play (At least in my server at the time I play) my dps classes stay behind in leveling so I incurred into fates. At same level I found that its challenging to match the power even with chocobo tank which fails at holding aggro and I had to respec to healer and thats another topic but besides the point. It came to understand that fates are designed as a group activity meant to be somewhat challenging. However, nobody does them and for the most part, when you want to do it in more cases than not, there is nobody to help you. So the activity is laid to waste if you you are not in group. Which most people arent. I would love for an improvement in experience for the time you spend soloing these things and maybe an adjustment in difficulty if solo. Maybe cosmetic or currency to spend in desirable items would be a good thing. There needs to be a way to improve this system. Specially for dps jobs who desperately need the XP and its so difficult to get group duty for the most part. I play on crystal and TBH its a noobie data center for the most part.Since you require MSQ for dungeons,trials,raids etc. Its hard to find groups because not many people are high enough or there is enough people with the progression of MSQ. HoH and POTD are mostly dead unless its premade and good luck finding people in crystal. I dont know. These are my thoughts on the matter. Fates could be a good thing but currently I found it wanting.

Soloing fates with a healer chocobo is very easy and you'll clear most fates in about 3 mins as long as you don't literally aggro everything in the fate.

I did a lot of FATEs for collecting anima-crystalls in the HW-region and for the new FATE-progress in ShB alone (sometimes with and sometimes without my Chocobo). They are doable just fine for solo-players.

It's pretty much just the big big boss fates that don't work solo.
Speaking of.. I wish they'd sometimes add new big boss fates in the patches to keep the world alive between expansions.
