you all do realize that the atma questing is SUPPOSED to take longer to upgrade your weapon than anything else right? you are getting to do easy as hell content to get better gear if you can not complete the current content as is, or dont have the time to put into getting in static groups. Its been the same in damn near every MMO,

Easy content = longer to accomplish end goal if RNG is not in your favor.
Hard content = quicker return on time invested if RNG is in your favor.

If you guys are complaining about the drop rates i seriously suggest you stop playing MMOs altogether as this will only perturb you more and more as the additional quests are added for the animus weps.
