Atma disappointment social help thread. For those with no luck.

[BreathlessTao]

Nothing to show?

Not overflowing with seals?
Not farming Gil via straight grind and challenge log?
Not farming Chocobo Companion xp via straight grind and challenge log?
Not Spiritbonding?
Not meeting new friends along the way?
Not improving skill rotations on less-used zeniths?
Not getting early drops for use in easy Beastmen daily quests?
Not occasionally getting atma?

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Not from farming FATEs for atma, no; more a nuisance than useful when you've nothing to spend it on, anyhow.
Yeah, because that 40-150 gil you get for a FATE is worth it so much; CL completion is actually annoying, seeing all the bonus XP getting wasted.
In about 450-500 FATEs, my chocobo got from rank 6 ... to rank 6.4. Would've happened without atma too.
No, because a) very low progress; b) I don't buy gear for another lottery system to maybe get a materia that's useful.
Not even meeting old ones because they a) are either already done with the several atma relics they need/want; b) can't be arsed to do this mindless lottery grindfest at all; that said, you might've seen ppl socialising during these FATE runs, I haven't even seen them curse their luck or congratulate someone else when they get the atma.
Those rotations aren't complicated enough to still need adjustments when you've already got your zenith (unless you're nothing but a content-burner, in which case you won't care about improving in the first place). Furthermore, how could you learn anything relevant in low-level content where more than half of your skills are unavailable?
Perhaps a few - that are also awesome to clutter up my inventory, because the pieces of atma that somehow aren't key items either by SE, don't do a good enough job of that already; not to mention not everyone still needs all of those...
Er, yeah, I guess it's lucky they nailed that part, at least, however abysmally.
