14 Hour Atma Challenge and Echo Challenge

[MeiUshu]

after two weeks of farming Atma's non stop at a rate of 8-10h a day every day and almost 18h over the 2 week-ends included in the two weeks and got NO Atmas whatsoever, I tried everything, backwards forwards, up and down, left and right, day night rainy day boss and non boss, and no result whatsoever. Since by doing fates not even looking for atmas, I got 3 atmas of which 2x Lion.

What is the point in such ? time sinking ? not worth it. Also, are they testing our reality or are they testing a possible future implementation of Atma's grinding ? Afterall, it isnt in the Japanese mentality to admit so obviously that there was something wrong in what they programmed, no offence meant right.

I am going to quote you here and show you why your statement is, not only very sterotypical, but not correct either.

I still remember the start of service in August, and the unforeseen server congestion and login issues that followed. We not only had to restrict character creation and logins, but we even suspended digital sales. While thrilled with the game’s incredible reception, again, I sincerely apologize for the terrible inconvenience this caused.

it is easy to answer to you....it is stereotypical as you say, because simply it is part of their culture, not losing face is part of their culture so yes you are right is stereotyped, also you saying is not true I would say is taking the exceptions as a majority dont you think or you are telling me that they admit readily when they are wrong when they have to look the world and say so ?...

It isnt something invented it is not wrong either, it is who they are, more so when it involves foreigners (understand others outside of Japan) ...I dont judge them I just say that rather then admit publically that something is wrong until they can no nore do otherwise, of course, they will find means and ways to turn that around...in a way we would all do the same, just some cultures more then others, in our particular case aka Atmas, I dont believe it is that easy to get 12 atmas in 14hours unless the guy is EXTREMELY lucky, a real test is to have such done by different people not only one, and I still believe that in this particular case the outcome might be adjusted for lack of better words to suit the purpose.

This is my opinion of course, you dont have to agree with it.
