Fix ATMA drop [LIKE] Thread

[Amused]

Long term goal yes, but only for one stage. Like Gallus said, the whole process to get your relic up to date is obscene (Zenith-Atma-Animus-Novus and now Nexus). I play during all my free time, that's almost every night and all weekends, didn't get a single atma so I decided to grind i110 gear and EX primal instead.

For a player that starts his relic, he now will never get it, because of how soon the next step arrives. So yes, it is nice to have a long-term goal when you're at the highest level and a new one comes up (Novus to Nexus), but like they eased the CT 1 and Binding Coil, they should also ease ATMA to let time to new players or slow ones like me a chance to catch up.

If you want to catch up, put in the work to do it. Don't ask them for handouts. You have plenty of other weapons you can use to catch up in item level.

This is purely a "they have shiny thing and I want it too, but I don't want to have to work for it like they did" situation.

Be grateful you don't have to speed run Brayflox hard mode for myth to do the books. That was far worse than Atma ever could have dreamed of being.

I don't care about the shiny, I find the nexus ugly. I want it for its stats and the sake of achievement. But all of my free time (because I say it again, all my free time goes into catching up on FFXIV) isn't enough to get the ATMA until the next level of relic arrives, and i'd be stuck in an infinite loop not being able to enjoy the rest of the game if i kept doing it.

The reason why they unlocked myths cap, or binding coil restrictions was to allow slower (or busy) players to catch up. We're simply asking SE to do the same for the previous stages of the relic.

The stats provide a negligible benefit over items of equivalent ilvl. So, with that out of the way, all that's left is the achievement portion of it. If you claim to want it for the sake of achievement, why would you want it to be made easier? That would just cheapen the achievement aspect of it. Not much of an achievement if you have to put in a minimal amount of effort to obtain it.

You don't need to catch up. You don't need a relic. If you want it as badly as you claim to, work for it. If you don't want to work for it, you don't deserve to have it. It's as simple as that. Get another weapon. It will be just as good as the relic if it's the same item level.
