RNG is ruining this game (ATMA QQ post)

[Cubester]

For anyone who played and enjoyed any old-school korean MMORPG

Only, this isn't an old-school Korean MMO.

And honestly, nobody is complaining about the time sink. People are complaining about the randomness of the whole thing. You can get your Atma in less than 24 hours while someone else doesn't get it until after 5 months.
I'm fairly certain that if this were a proper time-sink, and SE said "you'll be spending the next 2 months on this", AND you'd see some bloody progression, nobody would be complaining on the forums in the first place!
