ATMA is awful, I knew in 15 minutes I'd never, ever do it... Even for an ilvl 150 weapon. I don't care. It's meaningless, pointless, awful, horrible, terrible, mind numbingly boring, and it is obviously an overt design decision to prologue your subscription.

But, having said that... The entire game is designed with 90% filler and 10% actually doing something fun.

This is my first, and almost certainly last, MMO.
I happened to pick it up at a time when there isn't much else I want to play, but I cannot imagine anyone choosing this "game?" over any real game with actual fun mechanics.

I'm truly surprised that people complain about the ATMA quest though, because in order to even get to ATMA you had to go through about 1-200 hours of very similar, stupid, rote, mind numbingly boring tasks overtly designed to simply increase the amount of time you spend paying SE a sub.

So, why complain now... Lol?
That's my only question.

You aren't wrong, ATMA is stupid... But, uh, why complain now?
