How Atma Grind Should Have Been Handled

[Gesser]

Maps instead of FATE's.

A bit better drop-rate of course for the greater cost/slower pacing.

You stay level 50 so you get your abilities, there's other incentives involved, there's economy involved, and it's much, much more fun for people on average (fair presumption, I feel).

[mindful]

Drop rate fine , but they should have had other options , like 30k company seals you can buy a atma of your choosing with a lock out of 24hrs till can buy another one. Other Option like one dude said if get all the fates in the area gold get a 50% chance for the drop that day, with out warping. It would be find have a RNG, but make it so, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It should be hard,but john,jane,joe, and jen. The casuals team. That started in a few days should not also get all the luck and get them in 6hrs. With out a way for the rest of the people to see a goal also.

It nice to get people in the world of the game instead of just camping in the city for the dungeons. Yet would have been a little clearer to have more then one direction for the atma option from over powering the fates none stop with out no goal till the really man stuff.

Also it lame to do low man fates at a massive amount of people with the design since we can not get to them fast enough before there finish and if make them to hard down the road no one will do them.

So many complicated solutions, when the most obvious thing is here in the 2nd post! Keep the low drop rate For Atma sure, but allow Atma to be purchased for a large number of grand-company seals, or atma shards which could drop from every fate.

What is the possible downside to this? You still have the thrill of that lucky Atma drop, but for the unlucky ones each and every fate is a small step towards another Atma.

Edit: Simply and perfect solution, right? No losers. Or am I missing something? Oh and this is totally not a give me Atma easier solution. The cost in grand company seals or Atma shards will be high and only used for a few Atma, or by very unlucky players who never get drops after so many fates. If the goal is to keep fates alive, perhaps go for the latter with Atma shards that are only available through fates, otherwise Grand Company Seals would be fine.

Through new content instead of reusing FATEs and no extreme modes.

[Gesser]

Maps have lockout/cost-association. Perfect solution.

And of course everybody can need on your atma, otherwise it wouldn't be fun
We need some FFXI betrayals and backstabbing

They should have given people multiple choices:-

Last boss in a dungeon drops a random Atma.
All Maps drop at least 1 Atma.
Fates can stay as they are. (No relic equipped requirements)
Guildhest - Chance of a drop on completing duty.
Leves - Chance of Reward for completion.
Ventures - Retainers have a small chance to bring one back from exploration.

I would actually change the fate thing a bit. Instead of having X% chance at the end of the fate, I would change it so players get X% on every fate mob killed during it. This way, even if X = 1, you would still be looking at multiple times during the fate.

why dont you guys ask to out atma in shop for 1 gil?

[mindful]

Sucks 200 fates no atma, yet got 3 atma other night in 15 fates. Fun time roll eyes====/ . Yet heard some one got all 12 in like 4 hrs, OPTIONS. To match ALL PLAYERS, Having lv50 i90+ zerging fates is hmmm and even a low level will not have a chance get credit on the fates since so fast even with level sync on and/or the broken fates that like never can finish like drybone one. JUST ALLOW PEOPLE 2 buy the atma from the Grand company seals and have a timer on it. also keep the random stuff.
