The problem is time spent is not consistent. As many saw, person A can get 12 Atmas in the span of 8 hours of game time while person B could get theirs in 72 hours of game time. If more people wind up like person B, some may say screw it and forget Atma and Animus entirely because they got sick of beating their heads against the RNG wall and having nothing to show for it. Since there's so few people with Atma and Animus, Novus got delayed, so it's safe to say that perhaps the RNG wasn't the way to go if it got the next relic pushed back.
