Fix ATMA or I quit

Right now the drop rate isn't a fixed percentage. It's a randomly generated number which has a chance to not drop anything at all. This is why we see people who are getting it done in 12 hours to not having a drop at all in 28 hours.

I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous, 2.5/3% drop rate is the most accurate number of drop rate. It's very possible you will walk with nothing for a massive grind with that percentage. SE isn't going to be that stupid to do that, unless they really wanted to anger the community.

This is not true. It is not a fixed drop rate like other forms of loot in game are.

I don't think you know how percentage rates work...

If by 'other forms of loot' you are refering to trial/dungeon chest loot then what is happening there is there is a 100% chance that something out of a pool of available options will drop. Depending on the number of options, the percentage rate of the particular item you want can be determined (Hardmode weapons for example, there's one for each class so your effective drop rate is 1 in 9).

What's going on with these Atma FATEs is that there is a low percentage chance of a single item dropping at all. There is no pool of items to chose from for drops, it is just a percentage chance to say that X item is dropped.

At the 2%-5% rate you can conceivably go a very long time without ever seeing a drop. This is just probability at work.
