    I know you did. This is why my response was not grateful, because it wasn't even what I had asked for, far from it.

    And so, said "majority" claims remain a claim of yours, hearsay if you will, without sufficient supporting data.

    You know, the one thing I requested in the first place.

    Then why shouldn't I ask you for data to the contrary? Give me proof that the majority DOES approve of atma farming? You are making these claims just as I am. We both know that it is a ridiculous request that neither of us could complete, and you're just using it as a stall tactic because you have no argument.

    And you still have not even answered MY original question, how many FATEs it required to gain 91 atma. It should not be a hard question, I figured it out for you in less than 30 minutes. And you still refuse to answer because you don't want people to know how many hours you've actually wasted on this feature.

    And I still have not heard one valid example as to why this atma system is good, and should be kept. All I've heard from the defenders is to stop complaining, without a single reason why we should.

    I never said I had an argument inferring that the majority of players support OR protest it. To make such a claim would be both dishonest, and unrealistic.

    I am merely glad that you finally came around to admitting that to the rest of us, so we can move on.

    Oh, and thanks again for further deflection tactics.

    Feel free to continue complaining. Frankly its white noise to most supporters, and I couldn't care less. That said, don't be so shocked if supporters decide to fact check lofty claims. Just as you have been attempting to do.

    Anyways, as to your other 'farming atmas has no benefit' claim, for one simple example, several people have previously pointed out how much more alive zones are with people actively darting from fate to fate, which also benefits xp grinders at nearly every level, with more people to down xp- & seal-rich fates, in less time.

    Man, you guys just love to change your story to save face don't you? You should consider becoming a politician.

    Still haven't answered my original question, and then accuse me of deflection. That's funny.

    Apparently you do care, because you continue to post against any person who dislikes atma. Lying again to save face.

    Except I've also seen several others point out that because there are so many people, they can't even get any credit for the FATEs because all the level 50s are clearing them out too fast. So this does not benefit low level players at all, in fact it's actually hindering them.

So this means players fighting as the same synced level need to adapt to remain competitive, just like everybody else.
    Had to correct that for you.

    Except the players who are completing the fates for the first time are usually noobs just learning the game, therefor they have little idea on HOW to adapt. Seriously Duuude, your personal attacks and the attacks of everyone else are turning legitimate claims into screwed up statistics.

    The true FACTS of atma is this: It is completely 100% random, some people have to farm for 2 hours and others have to farm for infinity hours. That is the LAW of randomness. it cannot be measured and it cannot be put into a number no matter how many statistics you gather because there will always be people who never get them the same. Your theories hold no weight and your arguments are getting a bit childish at this point with the bolding and bashing. Let people post their statistics and let people rant. It helps some people. But forcing people to defend themselves then just saying NOPE! im right your wrong does not do any good at all to support your claims of atma being OK the way it is.

    The concept of RNG is 1/x, and x is never infinity. So there's that.

    You seem to like instigating personal attacks, by your own definition. How does that make you feel?

    Hate to beak it to you, but level synced players will always have a stat advantage over normal players. And hey, did you ever think that new players might not even have a mount yet, and can't reach the FATE in time because everyone else moves twice as fast?

    Your positive example was that it helps low levels. When low levels say they can't keep up, you basically tell them to "Get good."

    Congratulations! You officially don't even know what your own argument is anymore.

    Lowbies can always stick to one half of the map and focus on those that spawn there. Chocobo is not a necessity.

    Adaptation is indeed a factor. its how people improve.
