My two cents on the ATMA Issue

[revonine]

You know, the dev team should be embarrassed when players start to think about all the fun they could be having NOT grinding for Atma's and playing other games.

You know unfortunately you are absolutely correct :/

I think Atma is supposed to be a filler between waiting for Duty Finder to pop. The core of the problem is the fact that you need to have your zenith out. This means you're stuck with a class that absolutely has nothing to gain from a fate, and removes the exp bonus from duty roulette. Endgame content usually is organized via fc or pf, so any duty finder waiting that you're doing is when waitimg for low level content.

The amount of sense contained in the last paragraph is low. The amount of fun is negative. I don't know what the devs drank the night before they conceived this design, but I'd wager it starts with someone calling out "think of a way to enrage our customera but can get past all that brainstorming and management nonsense! The winner will get 3 months worth of beer!"

Yes, I worked my way to level 50 only to level down to do a stupid FATE and get nothing but a small token amount of gil. No. Worst quest I've ever seen, and I've played some VERY bad MMOs. Conquer Online comes to mind. This is EXACTLY the type of quest those morons would put together. SE is better than that. At least I hope so.

I'll repeat, you guys are doing the equivalent of getting angry or sad over losing on a 5 dollar lottery ticket. Of course it has to be changed since everyone on the forum is upset about it. How about you just lay off the grind and when they see that no one is grinding you'll get your change.

I'm honestly -enjoying- the grind. I've busted my ass on my free time from work and my fiance, and I'm up to 7 now.
