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

I'm just saying if you give the Atma~Animus, one of the newest pieces added, some time. The grind for dated weapons will be softened up, and there will also be newer and better weapons available.

It's not like this is the only good weapon you can work towards anyway. There is the Tidal Weapon, a Weathered~Unweathered weapon, and a High Allagan Weapon. If working towards an Animus doesn't work for you right now, it's not like you're without options to acquire some of the best pieces in the game.

And I, as many others, have already opted out of this progression path. This is a personal vision, but I don't really care about what weapon is best or the gear I can get; I do care, however, about the content I have access to.

Opting out of Atma due to the mind shattering boring premise (much beyond anything previously found in the game) makes it so that I'm also opting out of the whole Novus content line and future content that follows, until this atma business is changed. Which as you mentioned, could be in 2.4 or even 2.5.

Had the Atma quest line been a dead end content line, I would not worry a bit. I would've just opted out, never looked back again and mourn the fact that even a minute of development time was used for it, but nothing else. But Atma is part of a content road block right now that stops us from current and future content.

To me and others, every content patch notes that includes anything related to the relic quest can now be completely skipped.

Edit: Previous poster said the exact same thing as me, go figure.
