However, I do not think it's unreasonable to expect at least ONE to drop during an eight-hour session of trying to gather a few. As I said, I had yesterday off work and opted to spend that treasured free time working on collecting a few demiatma's. I don't think it's too much to hope/expect at least ONE to drop during a nearly eight-hour session of running the new OC content and Tural FATES; to devote all that time to grinding to receive exactly ZERO demiatma's was extremely disheartening and has honestly left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I do understand where those who're saying they didn't want an Endwalker-style method of obtaining relic weapons; but there is a vast amount of territory that lies between the extremes of 'too easily obtained' and this RNG-fuelled 'No Demiatma for you!' rubbish.
To be fair, if the drop rate is indeed lower from FATEs than from CEs as many (including myself) believe, then that is a good thing for the following reason:

It was more efficient to farm outside Bozja than in Bozja, back in Shadowbringers.

The new content, Occult Crescent, should absolutely be the best way to farm it. Old content should be an option for people who prefer that or do not like Field Operations, but it should be slower/less efficient, so that the new content has value.
