I personally like this type of "grind" every now and then. with echo, you can get carried into your relic and with myth becoming easy to get you can get your zenith as well. so having this tedious grind helps slow down the relic progression. besides, there are alternative ways to progress your gear than this "grind".

who knows, when the continuation of the quest is released, the atma drops may be increased as well.

p.s. its only been 2 weeks since the patch... no need to rush everything

note to readers: I work a lot and am at 9/12 atmas. I only play ~5-6 hrs a day. 1 spend 1-3 hrs a day after work to attempt to farm them after I do my dailys. Casual Players can do this.
