Zoidac Weapon 2.28

Would it be THAT bad if they change the atma drop rate from 1% to 5%??? whould it be THAT bad if they changed the cost from 1500 to 100??
do this and you will never see a thread complaining about atma again.

Where do you get your drop rate percentages, is it something you made up, or is it something you read that other people made up. Also people will complain about anything, no matter what they do, if they raise the drop rates, then people will complain that it's just being handed to the people that aren't willing to put in the time. Also you can't judge the majority or minority of what players think based on the forums, most people that play the game don't visit the Lodestone or the forums.

They never marketed the zodiak quest, they mentioned it in a couple live letters, and they said it would be time consuming and involve low drop rates. Atmas are low drop rates, like they said, and farming mythology is time consuming just like they said.

Sounds to me they may feel that it is too grindy. Especially since more people are apt to bypass the Atma's in favor of other weapons instead. A waste of content.

This is also true, but I would hardly say that this takes work at all, nerf or not. It's much easier for someone to say that time wasn't put in when they were lucky on all 12 Atmas compared to Joe Schmoe who has been grinding the hell out of FATE and has nothing to show for it. I got two Atmas last night back to back(30 minutes feels like back to back). I wouldn't say I worked for it either. I just happened to show up. Then nothing for 5 hours after. The Atma time sink and RNG shouldn't be as brutal. I am fine with the books being as super grindy as they are but the drop rate should be more consistent.
