Why bother with ATMA now?

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

With the addition of new content, old content is (generally) made easier or more accessible. As of the cap reset today, I'll soon have a Soldiery weapon. . . My Atma Relic is going to collect a LOT of dust until the Atma/Animus gates are lifted/made easier to open. Why do I say this? Well it's simple: Upon realizing the month and a half spent on Atma only rewarded me with a weapon glamour, and seeing that the Animus books again only force fed FATEs to me again, I lost interest and discarded my first book. I had a choice: mindlessly grind the same content I'd been already doing for so long (and not of my own free choosing) or test my skills against the higher challenges the game has/had to offer, and with slightly better chances to attain better gear/weapons.

The choice was obvious. I have no regrets.

If when SE wants to MAKE me upgrade the relic after so long, and it becomes a requirement for progression in the game, I'll have another choice: Upgrade it, or find a new game to play. I think that choice will be obvious too.
