Scale Fates off the amount of PC's doing them.

I wish fates were more like RIFTS in RIFT or dynamic events in Guild Wars 2. GW2 pulls off DE (aka fates) the best in my opinion. However GW2 base their whole leveling experience around DEs. I think they should redesign the fates mechanics as well. Have more interesting fights and scale higher with more people. It's possible.

This was done in Beta 3, the fates scaled with the level and number of people doing them, the issue this caused was making several fates nearly unbeatable which is why they do not now. This one remembers several massive wipes to Cancer in Costa Del Sol.

Is your sig from Fate Zero?

On topic again, the fates are based off agro. I believe.

It will be too hard for their 'engineers'.

So the Fate system is becoming a way to abuse fast leveling with no coordination or effort.

I also thought of scaling the strengh (HP, damage, number) of mobs depending on the number of particitants of a FATE, but that would only work up to a certain point at which the mobs would just kill everyone.

The first thing should be to remove any party bonus and don't give any EXP for individual mobs.
The only reward should be the one at the end of a FATE.
And this reward should be lowered, especially the company seals you get.

At the same time I'd like to see higher level mobs (lvl60+) which are worth killing with a party up to lvl50 for EXP.
