FATES need a nerf

[ChickensEvil]

Said it in another post, but will say it here. Have you people even leveled in this game? I get the feeling that you haven't. You do realize that in order to even UNLOCK said end-game content you HAVE to have done the story quest. Most of the critical parts of the story quest is instanced forcing you to, 1: Have gear, and 2: not be a baddie (Thank God for forced level sync). Then to top it off, you are FORCED to run 9 dungeons and 3 primal fights (and if you think garuda won't weed out some of the bad players forcing them to be better you have NOT done that fight) all to even unlock the endgame (HM Primals and BCoB).

Then combine that with your class quests giving you most of your critical abilities, you HAVE to run them solo, and while they are not "hard" if you are properly playing your class, you generally cannot just auto-attack to win.

FATEs are not the reason for bad players... bad players are the reason for bad players.

EDIT: Also, while FATE grinding is the "fastest" method to level an alt class/job it is not "quick" by any means. Just rough paper math from personal experience.
1-10 about 1 hour
11-20 about 1 level every 15 - 20 minutes (or 3 - 4 hours)
21-30 about 1 level every 30 - 40 minutes (or 5 - 7 hours)
31-40 (this one is harder to guestimate since coerthas is really hard to FATE grind due to population) but my horrible experience has been 1.5 hours per level. I would guess this would be closer to 40-50 minutes if done better so in a perfect world (7 - 8.5 hours) personal experience has been closer to 15 hours... really painful.
41-50 about 1 level every hour (assuming the zone isn't over-populated... I have experienced both sides of this coin) so 10 hours.

BEST CASE 1 - 50 in about 26 hours... I would put the average closer to 35-40 hours. Assuming 3 hours a day of gameplay you would be 50 in around 12 days or so if you didn't side track on anything else... just the one class, so class story, no main story, no dungeons, no nothing. This is really not that bad. So please tell me how FATE grinding is "fast" leveling again?

Edit 2: Unless you are still a believer in the days of EQ leveling which took months of playing 6 hours a day to hit max level... in which case, get with the times or go back to EQ... because games have not been like that for a long... long time.
