Make Fate Parties Relevant again, devs!

[Vahlnir]

What is point of having them to be need in party?
I do fates people go around do stuff and we complete it without being in party.

Only logical reason for you needing to be in party is as stated before :"I can't do the bare minimum, let me level afk without getting kicked plz!"

They are doable without a party, but if an area is congested enough not everyone may make it in time to complete fates and get full credit on their own. That's where a group comes in to play. It's not really about being lazy. It's about being efficient. Being a tank or healer helps a ton though for soloing fates even in packed zones because it gives players more credit for the enmity than the overall damage. So yeah, if you are a GLA or PLD as your mini profile suggests you are having a much easier time than dps would if the zones are very active. As a tank they are braindead easy, not that fates are hard to begin with. They are seriously the equivalent of doing the bare minimum for exp. Run in, AoE, maybe dodge a little and on to the next...
