The truth behind Atmas.

[SokiYagami]

Slightly off-topic (but link to my previous point), I wish SE can reduce the requirements for the two new tanks mount to 100 dungeons or include more dungeons that add towards the count. Right now it seems that only people who are main tanking end game (?) content have any hopes of getting them. I know it's meant to be a tank-only thing, but seriously? It's almost feels like the 2.2 patch is forcing us to pick only 1 job after all the diversity they have given us before.

The real reason for Atmas is to confuse the FFXI players. xD

This is the only thing i really complain. There is a truth behind the "you can be whatever you want", when the real point is "...if you want to have a shitty character on everything. If not, just focus one job". I know that's the way it works, but... it hurts.. T-T

About "main tanking end game".... naaah, those mounts were to reward "real tanks" tanking content since the beginning of 2.0. Thanks God they got their reward ^^..... *cough cough*

Unless SE wants to cut majority of the players down to focus on one main job only.

No, what they want is to make relic weapons as rare as they, quite honestly, should've been in the first place. Weapons for all jobs can be obtained from multiple other sources, such as soldiery or Leviathan. Atma will in no way "cut you off" from other jobs. What does cut you off from other jobs is all other content. You will never be able to have all jobs fully geared in [whatever the current maximum item level is], no matter how dedicated you are. Stupid weekly locks.

Well.... yes and no. Of course they want to make relic weapons rare. But to upgrade my relic i have to spend 13500 Myth.... enough to upgrade 3-4 jobs to their AF+1 gear (you can DF coil, yes, yes, good luck with RNG tho). So in a way it's "cutting" us off from other jobs

You can get full sets of item level 90 gear from the Binding Coil of Bahamut. Atma weapons are not hindering you from that.

Yep, thats why i said "you can DF coil, yes, yes, good luck with RNG tho" :3. Time to join some farm parties and.... pray

Its cuz ppl want to be the jack of all trades.
If you know how much grief and terribad rng luck will come from this, why even bother and pursue it? You are just beating urself up over a small thing. You probably wouldn't even use those alt classes for content u r unfamiliar with.
Sure it gives you more options but those options die here as the Atma quests and 2nd coil rng are here to make sure of that.
The only thing that is going to save u are the sol tomes and tidal weps.
But atma and coil brings out our worse halves as its mind numbing rng kills our gear progression's libido!

You give people something (diversity) and then take it away (to a small extend) and expect people to not say anything? It's not gonna happen.

I won't claim that I have been actively using every single job I have, but I have been using my WAR and BLM (I main DRG) for a good amount of time for anything besides Bahamut Coil 2. So it would be nice if I can gear them up to a certain extent over time as well without killing myself over it. I've never downright rant about anything before either, I usually like the ideal but ask for some small/medium improvements (if possible, but never happens) without denying/scrapping the whole ideal.

...okay, I did rant about the "RNG" of CT loot algorithm before, but I suggested a token system to go in parallel with the RNG loot system instead of just downright ranting about RNJesus only.
