Can you please Ease Up on Atma now?

@Nestama: Look at my post to Lemuria. If you were to raise the drop rate by 1%, then it would be no time before everyone was caught up. You have to factor in the people that hardcore eat, sleep, and breathe this game. Not even a week after Zodiac was released did people already have their Animus. Progress has to be gated, else people would then complain about having nothing to do. As my husband pointed out, I'm fighting a losing argument, but those are just my two cents on the matter. *shrugs*

The people that 'hardcore eat, sleep and breathe' this game and the ones that had animus after a few weeks already have their weapon upgraded, they have no need for another set of atma unless they want another relic and most of the hardcore players do already have their second or even third atma weapons. However, the unlucky ones are stuck behind this wall that doesn't need to be there anymore.

As for having nothing to do, you still have the animus, novus and nexus upgrades, and again, the hardcore players will already have them, the rest will either grind it out or take their time, but they are still behind everyone else and with a new upgrade coming in about a months time, why should we prevent them from being able to catch up? There is no reason to stop them from progressing.

There is no reason to stop them from progressing.

Especially when SE make it so you no longer have to fight certain EX Primals to unlock the new EX Primals (Leviathan drops weapons that are better than the Atma, which can be upgraded to the same ilvl as well as its stats, already making the Atma weapon worthless).

Before: Garuda, Titan and Ifrit EX were required to unlock and fight Moggle Mog and Leviathan EX. Once 2.4 hits, Moggle Mog and Leviathan EX will no longer be required to unlock Ramuh EX. It's strange that people are fine with this, yet are so against giving people who have been stuck on Atma a chance to catch up.
