I am posting here in the hope that a comm team or dev team member actually reads it. This is not a complaint or rage. This is simply a set of facts.

Fact: I stopped keeping track of hours spent farming atma around 50h, and GC seals (earned from FATE grinding) some time after that at around 300k. To be fair, some small percentage of those were earned doing roulettes and some supply/provisioning here and there, but I would feel comfortable saying that upwards of 95% was FATEing.

Fact: During this time, I scored exactly zero atma. I understand that the nature of the RNG beast is such that in order for there to be people who get their 12 in ~10h, there has to be people like myself on the opposite side of the bell curve.

Fact: Because of this (lazy, horribly designed, seriously flawed - opinion) system, I have cancelled both my XIV and XI subscriptions. I have been subscribed to both since their respective NA launches. This issue has cured my addiction.
