I don't think you know how percentage rates work...

If by 'other forms of loot' you are refering to trial/dungeon chest loot then what is happening there is there is a 100% chance that something out of a pool of available options will drop. Depending on the number of options, the percentage rate of the particular item you want can be determined (Hardmode weapons for example, there's one for each class so your effective drop rate is 1 in 9).

What's going on with these Atma FATEs is that there is a low percentage chance of a single item dropping at all. There is no pool of items to chose from for drops, it is just a percentage chance to say that X item is dropped.

At the 2%-5% rate you can conceivably go a very long time without ever seeing a drop. This is just probability at work.
