What would you add / change to the FATE system?

[Vespar]

Here's what I would add:
Random gear & food item rewards that mesh with the level of the fate. If its a level 30 fate, give it possible lvl 30 gear drops.
The gear or food, etc doesnt have to drop EVERY TIME, but it should have a decent potential of dropping. (kind of how the old lvl 1-50 leves sometimes gave a gear reward)

I'd also love to see them add the "riding maps" as a completion reward for completing a certain amount of Fates in a zone so that folks have other options beyond Hunts/Carnivale to get those.

What I would remove:
Not much, I would just rescale the lesser BOSS FATES so that they can be done by 1-3 players if there's not enough people around. Some of the lesser boss fights are impossible to do with 1-2 people and often they never get done anymore because of it, I'm referring to: The Eyes Have It, Svara, etc.
I'm not referring to Odin/Behemoth, etc. But those could also use a revamp in scale just not to the same degree so as not to cheapen them.
