Over 36 RL hours farming my last Atma and counting

[KenzieLynch]

You obviously don't understand how chance works.

The more often you do a fate the higher your chance of obtaining the atma you need, it's unlikely anyone is farming for 100 hours straight either.

Many people don't like luck and chance for this reason as it rewards the fortunate and is unfair to everyone else who has to struggle for countless hours.

Thank you, you just completely proved my point. Learn how RNG works.

Except some people got it in a day by doing less than 50 FATEs so there goes any point about long lasting content and fairness.

That depends on how you look at it, really. RNG is in many ways the MOST fair you can possibly get in a game of this type, that's why it's so often used.

For procs and damage rolls? Sure. For quest progression? Nah, there are much much better ways to do progression, many which have already been mentioned in the feedback thread.

Well SE obviously think differently, and I tend to agree with them.

I love Final Fantasy too, doesn't mean I have to come up with silly justifications for every bad decision they make. I got my Atma on Monday, it was still a badly designed quest that only rewarded my luck, it's just plain bad.

Neither of which, makes it right.

Sure, if you want to bring such a juvanile element to the debate. Those who are arguing against the content do not make it wrong either. Shall we go on the see-saw now?

Lol. No.

Do 50 fates in a zone, you get an atma.

THAT is fair. Everyone has to do the same amount of work for the same reward.

Do anywhere between 1 and 1000 fates in a zone and you might get an atma is not.

Technically speaking, random is completely fair. Everyone has the same depressingly abysmal chances, but some people get lucky. What random isn't, is equal, because of the fact that some people get lucky and finish early, and others are unlucky and have to put in many times the amount of effort to get the same thing, or may never even get it no matter how hard they work at it.

Apologies, you're right in that the RNG is fair in one aspect.

However, the effort that some people have putting out for it is extremely disproportionate. And that disparity is why it feels very unfair. There is no skill involved. It's just luck. Which is rather frustrating to many people, as you can imagine.
