Fate grinding should return

[Vahlnir]

I just think it's a shame that we can't go back to the days when people zerged fates to level. I know that a lot of you found it boring...

Considering is was basically the only efficient way to level at ARR launch and even for a patch or so afterwards...yeah, you better believe I find Fates boring even now. I haven't liked them for 7 years. That said, I wouldn't have an issue with them making Fates an actual leveling alternative so long as it doesn't dwarf everything else. As long as the time spent and exp gains are the same for most sources I wouldn't care. I'm guessing POTD and HoH will always be an outlier of sorts.

Easy fix, make fate grinding meant something for players. (I know, I know GC seals & experience points).

How about adding other rewards like tomestones, make "normal" fate drop exclusive mounts & exclusive gears (like Ixal, toad suit, odin etc) & perhaps maybe treasure maps?

Edit: adding big chunks of gold might also inspired some players to do it. I really love fate grinding to see the beautiful outdoors but I'm lacking the motivation to do it other than lvling subjobs.

Personally I wish battlecraft leves went beyond lv58 and leve sharing was actually encouraged, because my problem with fate grinding is that I'm at the mercy of what the game lets me do when it wants.

Wait... do fates not give good XP anymore? I just returned so im not sure what changed. I myself will not boost because i want to learn my character and not just have it appear as higher level. BUT if i was still used to the game then i might boost xD

Grind fates while you wait for your dungeon queue. Problem solved.

This isn’t a bad idea; I would also say increase the xp gain significantly to where roulette is still the best, but after that have them be equally competitive with fates and running additional non roulette dungeons. Basically “do whatever you want as long as your putting in time and a reasonable effort”

The exp is half decent but it's soundly beaten by other things such as Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High. As a result, not many people do F.A.T.E. battles anymore meaning they take longer, further reducing the exp per hour.

As a obligatory thing? Nah
Wish they beef up faiths to be like in Bozjan and Zadnor that would make things interesting.

Either that or delete them.
It's just boring.
