Yoshi-P: Atma drop % = "it's just luck"

[Duuude007]

If anything, I expect them to throw us a bone here people. In other words, I suspect they'll make it so we have to do maybe 15-20 fates guaranteed for a single piece per zone. I don't know about you all, but I'd be willing to put time in on all my classes if that were the case.

15-20 seems heinously simple... practically a hand-out.

Yeah, that is a bit low.

I'm on the side of it does need some sort of evening out so that the people getting screwed aren't shafted as hard as they have been, but nowhere near that low, 100 is a fine number, at most 150, but really, more than that, especially with the sheer mind numbing boredom from the low level FATEs is just a little on the harsh side for something that requires 12 different drops. Now, if it was something more interesting than FATEs in general, and low level FATEs in specific, I'd be alright with going higher, but still, it shouldn't be as punishing for people as it is now who are just unlucky.

The Zenith currently feels like one to me. Besides, it still wouldn't stop the huge grind to get it to animus status. It's been 24 days and I just finished book 7. And I'm taking it semi-casually to get the books (daily duty roulettes for myths), hardcore to finish them (I finish them the day I get them). If you had casual on both, it'd take them around 2 months. And considering it takes around 2-3 months for a content patch to come, and that they'd probably do this when the Novus comes out, it won't cause as much problems as you think.

Yes, the Zenith weapons were a hand-out.
This was also the reason why the allagan weapons got a ilevel increase with 2.1, because at the end it was too simple to get a zenith weapon.
If the time challenge for the final weapons is the same like for atma and animus, the chances are good that not too many players would have it so that the final weapons can have the same ilevel like the best coil weapons again.
