The biggest complaint about atma is the RNG. If they had kept the fates but had it be say, get Gold rank on Lou Carcolh 20x, vs gold in any fate at a completely random chance, there would be less (no chance of pleasing everyone) complaining about the atma farm. Hell it took me 52 hours 200+ fates for Central Thanalan yet i went 1 fate only in Southern Thanalan.
