Atma farming 850+ hours! Is it alright or this game is unfairly broken?

[MeiUshu]

I have a question is that a necessity to do fates all day long ?...850h that makes 35 days 24/24 ..nobody can do that even should do that. Now 850h can be done over months no?..it remains 850h yeah...taken into account that I did 15 days non stop around 5-8h per day fates....and I got none in my case it would be 120h (taking 8h for the sake of it) of fates without success...so yes I do believe the OP because well based on my experience (I stopped after that) I got none.

On the contrary, I have 3 now of which 2 the same just by doing random fates that I happen to find on my way to something else...

To OP there is no point in saying anything about atmas, they arennot worth teh time invested, and not worth the aggravation...just find another way to get the weapon and you will be far better off then chasing something that visibly, like me you are not that lucky to get.

850 hours. If he done on avg 6 fates an hour, thats 10 minutes a fate. He would have done 5100 fates. Yet he hasn't achieved the 1000 fates completed achievement.

Did you even read the other replies?

While I personally don't believe the OP either, you guys are aware that a lot of people create forum alts because they don't want strangers searching around in their achievement history trying to disprove everything they say?

I needed 390 Fates for my Atma set with 144 Fates just for the Maiden (yeah playing hard to get.. sheesh...).
Guess I was one of the lucky ones or they bumped the droprate w/o notice. I assumed it was in the 3-5% range.

Never met anyone willing to go as far as obtain an Atma weapon on an Alt. and have as many achievements as they do currently. Just to post on the forums anon. from their main.

I think my guild lead is doing that right now, albeit I am not exactly sure why she completely rerolled.

@Fate deaths: Well I died a handful of times trying to solo FATEs in outer LaNoscea. Didn't observe whether the game only tracks successful fates but it could be possible though.

EDIT: Just looked at the achievement wording: "Successfully completed FATES."
So the game does not track failed FATEs.
Still 800hrs of failing FATEs.... naah I still don't believe him.

And of course I've never heard of someone getting an Atma from a failed fate either so if he did fail hundreds of hours of fates, well, I guess its possible.

Alt's stuff

Too bad SE deleted his 2 other troll threads that he made.

In one of them he clearly says that his MNK - which is his main on that character - participated in thousands of FATEs but fails 90% of them and can't get the achievement because he doesn't play on prime time and have to solo all his fates >_>

Mad cause bad troll. Wish SE delete this thread too

We're aware, however the OP responded by saying, not that this was an alt, but that the game didn't record his fates accurately and that he kept dying and asked us how he gets that fixed as well.
