Leaving the game

[lxSch]

Maybe SE developers will read this and understand why I don't see a future in this game. I just feel that SE has replaced fun with frustration with extremely difficult battles that are both skill and latency dependent and endless grinding. I'll come back when SE bring fun back into the game.

Me and several other people who completed atma think that this whole grind was created solely as an excuse to repopulate failed fates (on my server almost noone was doing them except coertas area). Probably SE will dramatically increase drop and spawn rate of fates because currently noone likes the way they work.
EX primals (except garuda) were just designed bluntly ignorant for western market (west is not japan where everyone probably have similar low ping) and i see no solution to this.
But there are much more serious matters that destroy high and endgame, such as too fast progression and echo buff. I think a large part of SE playerbase will stay around just to kill time, but leave as soon as any other decent mmo comes out.
Story past 2.0? Only primals keep reviving again and again, because they are immortal and will revive... again.
New dungeons? Amdapor City, can run it once or twice and forget.
Coil is too hard for randoms and comes into what i call a destroyed endgame (like tanks in ex primals/coil who would only use FoF or berserk).
But i keep playing because there are a plenty of ways to deal with these issues (for now). SE will either understand what shift in the play style it caused and correct it (i highly doubt) or keep casualing everything and making profit on game box sales instead of subscriptions.

You are wrong and so are your friends, I have been doing fates before atma was around and people still did them, now they just do them even more I even heard people complaining they cannot level low levels because fates disappear too fast.

The real reason they did it was to slow your progression that way you couldn't kill content before they could produce it but you guys gotta have everything now now now now like a little kid kicking and screaming for candy in a store.

To be honest they did this, so SE can say to new players (PS4) LOOK AT ALL THOSE PLAYERS DOING FATES ( Show that a lot of players play the game). However, them slowing people's progression is an added bonus to them.

people would of been doing fates regardless so that isn't it, new people join everyday and people swapped from ps3 > ps4 and already had high levels.

At least on my server, before Atma, I don't see many people doing FATEs, most do Dungeons ( where they are hidden and can't be seen by the server pop.)

Anyone who complains about fates are the ones who want it easy. So far this is what I get when I say something about that.

"its not that we want it easy" "I just don't wanna grind fates for all my weapons we don't want easy at all"

Dungeons you complete and doesn't drop 20 dungeons through you'll say same thing I don't wanna grind it.

Extremes same thing, then you ask then what do you want you guys have no answer because you want it handed to you ive seen higher the drop rate.

i dont know why people post on the forums there leaving no one gives a hoot about them leaving lol

[HeroSamson]

I come to conclusion that you guys are no gamers but spoiled too used to getting what you want you keep begging whining till they break down and give you it for free with out hurdles to jump, then the next thing they make you'll cry again and next the cry again.

because you want it handed to you, like I said no hurdles to jump over for your gear or items.

even if you say "no we don't" then why you whining on forums for change? give me a good answer because you want it now for all jobs faster than you're getting it which is easier.

the difficult i have in this game is with randomly pugs doing extreme battles but other then that is fine.
Latency sucks yea but i find way to solve my problems with that, and so far it works and no more lag.

I'm sure the fact that Atmas are placed in all the zones that were dead on fates is just a coincidence. The fact that the areas that had the most fate activity, ie Coerthas, don't have Atmas has nothing to do with it. /sarcasm
Atma was created as a way to populate the barren Fate areas, no matter how any tries to spin it.
It slowing progression, as someone said, is just killing two birds with one stone.

Virtually every Fate zone was completely dead with little to no Fate activity except for Coerthas and SOMETIMES Costa Del Sol.
There have been Threads about it and lowbie FC members complained about it daily because they can't really use them to level.
My friends on JP servers say that they see people doing them regularly, but this appears to be the minority.
