Atma Weapon Feedback

As "ordered" in the Patchnotes:
1. Atma-FATE-Farming is incredibly boring
2. The Low-Level players don't profit at all, because the FATE-Trains are simply too fast for them.
3. The RNG Droprates are a mess and simply ridiculous
4. Its even more annoying, that I have to farm level 3 FATEs in order to get a level 100 weapon, including the fact, that I have two spells to use and just stupidly try to hit every mob.
5. Yes we got it, that you want to milk out the players and force them to take longer subscriptions in order to "farm" this weapon.
All in all, from my point of view (approx. 1000 Fates and 9/12 btw.) this system is forcing players to do things, they just dont want to, but have to, because of the reward (Yeah we get it, Leviathan EX is there, but not everyone is able to do it and has the people to do it). Its useless, boring and straining the nerves of so many players and will absolutely result in players cancelling their subscriptions.

Maybe this is what they want, it's clear they need more servers for stuff like housing, and it's very common in MMOs for subs to drop after the new wears off. This could just be a clever trick by SE to get those people that will eventually leave then to go ahead and leave now. This way they don't need to pay for more servers that they won't need in the future, they weed out all the players that will whine and quit if they release solo content that takes more than a couple days to complete, and their numbers stabilize making it easier for them to plan from a business standpoint. Sure they need players to keep games going, but gamers need games to keep playing, and in the end one person's sub, hell 1000, or even 5000 subs don't mean a thing to them right now. Every person on these forums that has whined about atmas can leave, and it would show up a decimal in their quarterly figures.

too many threads, all expressing the same views, I think SE get the message by now lol...

Except that it would be very freaking stupid to sacrifice a lot of subs just for the sake of "server stability". The whole damn idea behind subscription based games is to have the players help pay for the maintenance and upgrades. You don't pay for maintenance costs by alienating the player base.

Don't think they have gotten the message, as they have not responded. They blew some smoke with their notes at us, leaving us wondering. They did a bunch of stuff to PvP I guess. PvP is as interesting as Fate grinding.
