I feel like the feedback from the OP is valuable, even if it's a veiled threat of "more of this and I quit".

The point that the OP, and several responding - even in opposition to her - are making here is that the content isn't fun.

I personally don't grind atmas. I do FATEs whenever I see them in areas where I haven't found an atma yet, and at the rate that I'm going they'll probably nerf that portion of the quest before I'm finished gathering my 12. I still agree that the idea of grinding FATEs endlessly in the hopes that RNG will grant you an atma is not fun, and it doesn't seem to be fun for the majority of people (I've spoken to most in game friends about this, people who do and do not have their atma weapons, and have never heard one of them say that they enjoyed this content).

I'm not asking to get my "reward" right away, I just feel like the content leading up to it should be enjoyable.
