Yeah I don't know what to say linear grinds always were some of the most boring to me, unless it was something like farming a mat where I could find spawns and learn how to do it slightly faster over time, find the best places, etc, etc. I never had an issue with rare drops and frankly found it better to not track my progress as it just was discouraging. Honestly I think you can do the Atma farm at your own pace, the problem is people aren't doing that instead they're trying to do what is weeks if not more of a farm in a matter of days.
