Are massive groups allowed to farm FATES?

Overworld content is overworld content. There's no such thing as an early pull or an early kill. If you don't want to join one of the groups, wait until things calm down.

I was just curious because it crossed my mind. SE seems to be strict with a lot of things other games allow.

What I did last time was wait a week or 2, because it was absolutely no fun the 1st few days.
Instead of doing fates one by one everyone just did everything at once and blue maging legends were one shotting fates like pricks.
I did it later and it was much more enjoyable.

This was a problem in ARR, so FATEs were altered so that boss HP and enemy numbers increase based on the amount of people that fought it (or a linked FATE) the last time. It is also why they unlinked certain FATEs such as the Hildibrand one.

SE knew this would happen, because farming FATEs is literally what they asked us to do for the Yokai event. It was like that when there were previous versions of the event, or new relic steps involving FATEs.

FFXIV is an MMORPG. If people weren't allowed to do at least some content as large groups it feels like it would be kind of defeating the purpose of making such a game.

huge fate farming groups was the norm in ARR. so yes, its allowed. People just dont do fates much anymore cause they been nerfed hard as they used to be comparable to dungeon exp.

I followed large group doing fates other day. Made getting my 2 weapons easy and fast. You should been here in ARR, fates were how ones would level up and there were huge groups of players running them. Huge groups are not against the rules or all those running hunt trains would be in trouble. Maybe join a fate party or create one for running fates.

Of Course it is allowed. It is just hard to do Fates needed for the Event currently because blue mages Delete them before the normal Jobs can even Tag them. Playing Tank can mitigate that.

I sure do wonder what MMO standsfor
