Did you have to Fate for those?

Did you have to Fate for those?

Nope, but you had to rely on 30+ people every 3-days for 15 weeks for 1 weapon.
You also had to kill a boss that you had 1 chance of killing every 3 real life days.
Or you could spend upwards to 50 billion gil to buy the currency needed for upgrade.

Yeah, that sounds awesome. I should go play that game right now.

Whose point are you proving?

No point to prove. Just laughing to myself at people complaining about the time it takes to get things now-a-days.
It's just such a different world now. Just trolling some for self-amusement. ^_^ Enjoy.

But you weren't trolling. You were telling the truth in your comparison to another game.

For the best weapon in the game that was meant to be extremely rare. Also Dynamis was new content that's a lot better than reused Fates. Different things here.

Can't rule Atma/Animus/???/??? out just yet. The upgrades are far from finished. (2.25, 2.3+)
Relic dagger wasn't the strongest weapon, either, until the very end. I'm sure this is just the beginning.

Dynamis was fun, yes, but doing Dynamis-Bastok 38 times for currency was no different than any other
grind. It also turned into a snooze-fest at points. Don't get me wrong, I loved XI. Played for 8 years.

Anyhow, it's just a silly thing to see people blowing their tops over 30 hours of farming. Just my opinion.

Edit: Also, I do not agree with FATEing, so don't get me wrong there. It definitely could have been a better
quest setup. If you really think about it, though, the time commitment to get this weapon isn't as bad as back
in the day.

Yeah but Dynamis was fun for a long time and it's 100x better than Fates. That's my issue with Fates it's not the grind, it just wasn't fun to begin with. You're just doing low tutorial reused content for one of the best weapons in the game. There's really no comparing the grind time because the quality of items you get is a lot different.

see my previous post on comparing with OLD game.. community changes so do game

However i agree that its silly for ppl to blow their top over 30 hours of farming.. but the key problem here is not grinding but unfairness..

Again a simple example. i get first atma in a day (all 12), 2nd atma in a week (across the whole 7 days) and just finish my third after having stuck at 11/12 for a week (zero drop for the whole week)

Now think about ppl who farm all 3 weeks and got nothing.. or some 1 farm 9 days, getting 12 per day for all 9 weapons.. THAT is the problem. of course i am giving an extreme end example, if u want to avg it out.. i get my first 12 in a day and my friend got their first 12 in 2 weeks +.. that itself is not fair already
