We need a response from Yoshi about the Atma quest.

I work full time. I do not possess the time to grind for 40+ hours for ONE damn atma. Scrap the quest entirely, and remake it so it makes use of our level 50 characters

What if alternatively it's just content you can't do yet? It will get nerfed at some point allowing you to do it, isn't that fine?

I mean 40+ hours for a single Atma is a really high estimate. It's incredibly bad luck.

So, I should avoid playing until it is nerfed...which defeats the entire point of playing? Your logic makes very little sense. I'm to avoid the quest, wait for the eventual increase in drops, because the drop rate currently is so abysmal, that it is irritating throngs of people? I'm up to nearly a hundred fates, as time allows, and no drops. Even with a 1%-5% drop rate, I should, by mathmatical standards, have 1-5 atmas. Yet, in this game, when the rate appears to below 80%, that rate ends up being 5-10% at best. You see, I've tried this on my miner. If my rate of harvest is over 80%, I harvest 95% of the time. Which unto itself is a VERY flawed math problem. When it's 79% and lower, I harvest approximately 5-20% of the time. That makes no sense does it? This Atma is the same way.

It's not the only thing to do in the game right now, so no you don't have to quit playing. Also yes if you can't do something then avoid it, you'll never see me on the basketball court. Throngs of people get irritated by EVERYTHING in MMOs, who cares? Everyone always thinks they're the majority while they're complaining on forums.

Maybe ATMA is so irritating to you because you think statistics is magic. Think about it for a second, if you roll a dice 6 times are you always going to get each number once? Of course not! Rolling a 6 sided die doesn't guarantee you one 6, nor does a 20 sided die guarantee you one 20, and a 100 sided die doesn't magically come up with that 100 on it's 100th roll.

You have a math problem alright. Actually given the multitude of "Turn 5 never drops Monk gear OMG" posts I've seen it seems like a lot of this community does.
