I don't know if u guys ever played ff11, but if u did do u remember how the mystic wepons were and the gear farming were? where u had to go to different ebsy time zones to get pieces for your gear and such? well that was great I think. If this atma system was like that or something like that would be awesome. I think a lot of ppl would like that. not trying to bring back ff11 just they idea of the gear/wep farming in ff11 it should be something like that on 14 with a little twist I think.

I played FFXI for almost 9 years, I quit last May. I had a 99 Almace and I was pretty close to finishing my Tizona for BLU. Those are long term goal that I prefer, Because I knew what needed to be done and I knew how long it would take to do each part. I have been farming these damn Atmas since Thursday and I'm not even close to being done. With RNG I could be done today or I could be done 5 months from now. That's the part I don't like. Worse yet I can't even use Myth Tomes to buy the Books yet.

snip.

I think they did it so people wouldn't cry about having to do FATEs to get the majority of Ventures.

When I found out how long it takes to do relic quest in 11 I didn't even try.... heard it took most players 2-3 years to it done,

Not nearly as bad as it was before some lockouts were changed. The 30k Alex was the easy part. Still had to get around 5k of them, had to get around 30k tokens, I think I had a few Ichor to get, and a few more assaults. But they made it easier to get done, Idk know if it is any better now.

Not really....lol. It took that long because most people dispersed the currency among their linkshell or sold the currency rather than focus on one person. It takes a month or less these days to do a Relic (75), it took awhile back then because the Relic Weapon was the BiS weapon that added a unique weapon skill which gave you a buff of some kind, for example Dark Knight's gave them a haste effect iirc. A lot of people rotated content due to the 2-3 day cool down, so it took awhile because linkshells usually focused on all content end-game.

That's the difference, it was a long term goal to create the ultimate weapon, like any FF game - You usually start the quest at the beginning or middle of the game, but MMO wise it has to be end-game obviously.
