[mircanda]

you do realize that there is no such thing as a RNG as u cant program a computer to be random

Just thought I'd do an update.. spent 50mins in central thanalan and got nothing, went to western thanalan and got atma on the 3rd fate so I'd highly recommend not grinding for too long in a single zone.

I've noticed no pattern in the 7 atma I've gotten so far. I've got two of the same and each came from a different fate in the zone.

I highly doubt there's some secret the devs are hiding as to the mechanics of the drops. This isn't FFXI, where you're told nothing and are expected to be okay with that.

My experience tells me that there is some kind of anti farming mechanism. You are more likely to get a drop within a few fates than spending hours grinding. I think leaving a zone if you aren't getting anything and trying elsewhere or doing something else and return is the best way.

Has anyone seen more than one person get an atma from completing a fate? My thinking is that there is a certain percent chance it will drop after the fate is completed then only awards it to 1 person who completed. If that's the case then your odds drop drastically in prime time when there a 100 people doing a fate as opposed to middle of the night early morning when there may only be a handful of players to compete with. Maybe the people who got real lucky were doing it when there were less people.

I've completed entire FATEs by myself and not once did they drop an atma.

To answer the question, yes, I've seen multiple people get an atma from a single FATE.

Yoshi made a statement about the drop rate: http://youtu.be/IAISUDbjXj0

I got almost all my Atma's from killing adds FATEs, and I got all 12.
