They do a thing where, when a new GATE is added, they increase the likelihood of it happening. The logic is sound, but maybe like... do it up until x.x5 of that patch. They have had this GATE cycle for several patches now.

Also, consider making Leap of Faith to lose its Duty classification, and instead be an area in that zone. This means you wouldn't run into people from the datacentre. On the other hand, this would mean you could do it while queued up for another duty. Also, you wouldn't be able to scam it, since like in Cliffhanger you would still need to talk to an NPC to start it. IMO Gold Saucer should be the PERFECT place to go while someone is waiting for their queue and 100% the activities should try to be compatible with that.

Lastly, big no to returning those old GATEs.
