No, it really wouldn't.

If your goal is to fast exp to 50, then do FATEs. What do you care? If your goal is to see content, do dungeons, and quest, what do you care that FATEs are SLIGHTLY better?

Like really, the REASON people do FATEs is because past 50 storyline, there is NOTHING to do for your alt. If you're on your first, worry not about the FATE parties and do your storyline. You'll need to anyway, and it gives you boatloads of xp. I had no trouble leveling my first class to 50 with barely ANY fates done, and I never worried whether someone was outpacing me.

If you turn it into a race, you better do FATEs. If you don't care, or at least say you don't care, then DON"T WORRY ABOUT FATES.
