I typed an essay after todays... attempts to get another Atma but we have a 1k character limit on here, so I'll link my Lodestone Blog (which has a 3k limit).

Feel free to comment on there, I think I have a few valid points and I'm looking at it from multiple points of view in the big picture.

Couldn't agree more. I get that they want to put out enough things to do for the user base until the next content patch. Frankly, this grind fest is not content nor is it a challenge. It is nothing but lazy/poorly thought out design. In fact, this trajectory is deviating very far from the initial design to promote having multiple class/jobs. It is essentially forcing people with or without 40hrs of free time a week to place an emphasis on one class. The initial progression methodology of locking people out via a difficult encounter (then Titan HM) was brilliant. More of that, less of this. Please!

Titan HM was a good roadblock, I got stuck there because of other people not being able to get past it. All it is when you look back is a 12 minute fight that is quite simple and easy to predict - I agree completely with your comment.
