Atma book FATE "Giant Seps" is not part of normal FATE rotation, and will not being

[Myrianda]

K, so the FATE 'Taken' just spawned, and from several people in an LS and myself that have been camping it, the spawn timer from the one we just cleared to the previous one was 18 hours.

SE, I get you want slow the progress of people getting Animus weapons, but give me a break...this is just super tacky.

I wouldn't care too much if there was a better way of keeping track of the fates in a given area. For example the Trial books have the ability to select the fates. I don't understand why that is, but if it put up some kind of timer and location marker so you could know when and where it's coming it would be....better. Having a bunch of players sat in one place waiting for a fate and too terrified to go elsewhere in case it spawns and the people who didn't leave churn through it before they can return can't be a good way of doing anything.
Another option, replace the use of obscure fates with some instanced boss fights or something akin to the class/job/story quests. The Atma weapons are supposed to be about absorbing the souls of strong creatures, why not put a bit more drama into it or use it an excuse to explain more about the world?

This is absurdly stupid. I can live with the Atma grind cause at least there was a flicker of chance at progressing but this is just ridiculously retarded.

With the FATE spawns, at least you have a almost 100% chance of progressing if you happen to be there when the FATE spawns. Yeah, you might have to wait, but at least you're guaranteed progress. I'll take camping stuff over the 1% chance of getting an Atma drop any day.

Not even close. Finishing fates at least yields you something, however miniscule the gil and seals rewards are. Additionally, you can level up your chocobo or queue for duty while doing atma while you can't even go get a drink for fear of missing out on a fate that will most likely be zerged down in 30 seconds. Its also not 1 fate, but 27 in total in addition to killing 900 mobs, 27 dungeons and 300 brayflox runs. Maybe you like to stand around doing nothing, but I like to keep myself active and doing mindless fates beats staring at your screen for hours never knowing when its going to spawn. I'll take atma any day.

I feel like being picky, so... 270 brayflox runs, if you insist on only doing that for the necessary myths.
I think I have done brayflox maybe 30-40 times during the weeks until I got my Animus weapon...

I deliberately chose not to be picky, otherwise I would have pointed out the 1% drop rate of atma that the poster I was responding to plucked out of thin air.

back to camping spots for hours
