I did Coerthas and Northern Thanalan a lot. Then Palace of the Dead came along and new players were taught to do that instead of FATEs.

i was wondering if something like that still exists?
For bicolor gemstones in Shadowbringers or Endwalker areas, yes (mostly when the expansion is new). But once it's not new, a lot of people don't understand how to setup parties in Party Finder, or don't bother and just solo them.

Meanwhile, new players actually do ARR FATEs until they discover there are better things to do. They are done for the relics in all expansions too. But once again, they are usually done solo now.

is there a NA server that still has the wholesome mmo community vibe?
We still go out for hunt trains, S ranks and special FATEs and you often see the same people from your world or talk in shout chat.

People who spawn S ranks or conduct hunt trains often get to know eachother well enough to prog savage together, but only a small amount of people do these things.
