So about dem atma. I think they're too easy to get.

No Life Achievement, unlocked.

Congratulations Sir/Madam!

Give the butthurt a rest. If this is worthy of a no life achievement then everyone who played FFXI would be long dead. Atma farming is nothing compared to what people had to do in FFXI.

While Akujin's post may be out of line, your thread and your reply is quite aggressive, and seeing as you're trying to make a point that atma grinding isn't so bad and that you can do it with "hard work", no one is gonna listen to you if you're not gonna be polite about it.

I suppose I came off a bit more troll-ish than I intended to. I was simply getting tired of the hundreds of repeat complaint threads begging for atma changes when it and animus are the closest things to a long term goal in the game that isn't long term simply because of lock outs. They'll just be complaining about lack of content if they can rush through it all like everything else.

Also, I was in XI and I'm not entirely certain what you're referring to, because I've never had to farm something a couple hundred times to get a single drop on something. There's also the fact, certain things, let's say, D. Ring for instance which had an abysmal drop rate at KB anyways. If you were actually claiming and killing it every single time for several hundred times without a drop, that's one thing. But I seriously doubt you were, as more likely you were camping, alongside 9-12 other Linkshells for the same mob and had to compete against them. Not the same thing as RNG at all.

Actually it was worse in XI. It was basically current atma rng combined with 12-24+ hour monster spawns combined with competition. At least it was before Abyssea. Not sure how it is now.

Let me guess, you didn't go outside, never take a shower and grind this 24/7 correct?

I actually likely spent less time farming than other players. A few weapons only took about 3 days to complete each with just farming a few hours each day. If a atma took more than a few hours I just tried again the next day. Don't have to be a no lifer to get atma. Just have to have a longer attention span and more patience than a typical WoW player.

You see, end of the day it is RNG. I spent ~3 hours everyday focusing on nothing but farming atma and yet I saw no drops for weeks. I worked the exact same way you did and it took me from atma announcements to very recently just to unlock one weapon.
Its not about how hard people are working, it is just RNG and people have to condition themselves to it.

Far from butthurt, if you're curious, feel free to glance at my profile. I have had my Animus Rod for weeks, I haven't bothered with the others at all because I quite simply don't care and have other objectives to do.
