    Were you even trying? Or can you only play for 10 minutes a day? The drop rate isn't that bad.

    You'd be surprised. It took me 9 hours at the worst for a single atma piece. It took a friend 18 hours just for one to drop for him. The randomness and very low odds (I've heard it's 1%) make it a real RNG based thing. It may seem improbable, but it can happen, just like those 2 runs of Ramuh HM in a row I did as a BLM, where I had 0 Thundercloud procs for those runs (despite throwing Thunder on everytime it went off).

    18 hours is problematic, yes. But 3 months implies they didn't try very hard and RNG got the best of them..for those months. 3 months at 2 hours a day is plausible. But if you're doing it that infrequently, then it works as intended.

    You're calling 2 hours a day of ATMA farming for 3 months infrequent...?

    Like you do realize that for a lot of people, that's all or a significant portion of their game time in a day.

    Some of you all need to understand how statistics work. The concept of statistical outliers is a real thing...you know...
