Atma Fate System Broken

[Castillan]

It's fun how many posts there are complaining about atma. Every level 50 dungeon I do there's always at least one with the atma and today I saw someone with the animus. So I guess it's just you being unlucky. The system isn't broken since a alot of people have got their atma. Just cause you don't have it yet doesn't mean it's broken

That's precisely why it's broken. It's not an even/fair system. It's a system that blesses some, and shuns others, and for no other reason than "you're just unlucky". It's not even progression for all. It's just whether or not your were fortunate enough to get it, or you've gotten the raw end of the statistical deal.

Mind you, being a computer RNG, I just coded up a worst-losing-streak simulator on my Linux box, and simulated 1 billion fates

At a 2% drop rate (0.02) => 835 was the longest losing streak simulated by the Linux RNG
At a 1% drop rate (0.01) => 1701 was the longest losing (no drop) streak simulated

Even though statistically there's a chance you'll never ever get a single stone, the computer based RNG is basically suggesting that worst chance you can go for up to 17/drop_rate fates before getting a drop.

Question is, do YOU think it's fair that someone can be lumped with doing 1700 fates for a stone, while others are skipping along with having only done 20-50 fates before getting theirs? I guess that's a matter of perspective. If you were one of the latter lucky ones, of course you're going to say that there's nothing wrong with it. Try to imagine the person who's done 1700 fates for nought though...
