The amount of personal bashing found in this thread makes a little part of my idea of a good community found on these forums die a little each time. While I understand that what you generally see on these forums are the vocal minority. I can't help feel that some of the people in this thread that throw around personal attacks do nothing but justify the OP's stance. Why be so aggressive to something as simple as an opinion on a game mechanic?

I have never understood what compels people to be utterly rude to someone that may or may not disagree with your opinion. What goes through one's head to make them think that will change someone's view point? Where is the discussion going to start if you act like a toddler and yell at people for disagreeing view points?

My stance, just to make sure I do contribute to the discussion, I personally feel it's an exploit. No matter how you hard you try to squint, put on rosy shades, or just don't want to acknowledge it. While the FATE system has been an awesome source of EXP for folks, since the alternatives seem to be lack luster in comparison. The prolonging of completion of a FATE to have a virtually limitless spawn of mobs to EXP off of doesn't appear what they were designed for. There are only a few FATEs that fall under this condition. My question is why don't other FATEs give as much of a EXP bonus for such little effort? It just plainly doesn't make any sense to design a FATE that pretty much trumps all other EXP routes. This doesn't feel balanced and I feel not the intention they (SE designers/developers) had in mind. Personally, I think the FATE system wasn't meant to handle the amount of people actually interacting with them. Designing something, especially when it comes to game mechanics usually has some sort of idea on what the optimal amount of people who would do X Y Z interaction.

What will SE do? Who knows, they tend to be pretty tight lipped on fixes, patches, opinions on matters like this until they decide to do something. Either they fix it, leave it be, ban people, warn people, or simply just sit back and eat popcorn while folks bicker back and forth.
