Call it what you will but with all the complain threads I figured a good chuckle was in order.

Dear god that's an awesome sig

Atma= soul/"self"

Well guess I'll use the OP's thread since he himself just tried to troll.

The truth behind Atmas

The heavy, unjust RNG (random) system of the Atmas serves two purposes ;

- To maximize the Player count participating in FATEs and simulate Open World Events.
- To simulate that a Zone is lively and full of Players.

These two purposes serve a greater goal, to prepare low/mid/high lvl zones for 14.4.14.
Yes the Atma system only serves to simulate Player activity in the lower lvl zones for the upcoming PS4 player-base.

If you think about it it suddenly makes sense why they've implemented such a random reward system for something this desired by the higher lvl players.
So some players will have to do FATE after FATE in hope of an Atma drop not knowing if the'll drop it soon or never all this just so that PS4 players see a lively world when they'll arrive.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against ps4 players but having farmed for hours these last 3 days and not having a single atma might have awoken the Agent Moulder in me ...

Don't blame SE. Blame your parents for not teaching you about the concept of deferred gratification.

Excuse me but I never blame my parents for anything I do or did and I expect other to not boast about them too.

I should have added that I don't want the weapon served on a silver plate but that I want to earn the damn thing.
I absolutely do not want to go in, get lucky and have all 12 Atmas in the pocket, no, the Animus system is way more interesting in that matter.
It at least gives you the feel of progression and not the urge to pray to some gods in hopes of a drop.

I even saw people start doing the "atma dance" because they say it increases the chances of getting one.
How desperate are they ? How long did they farm ? Do they even know what an atma looks like?

Now I hope you get my point. I do not want gear handed to me but I don't want to be a fat chocobo running because someone on it's back is holding a cabbage on a cane either.

Problems with the way it is design now, people will probably upgrade only one of their weapon.

If the drop rate was better and the process more enjoyable, people would upgrade multiple zenith and low and mid level FATE would still be populated.
