Please Respond Regarding Atma (SE)

[DoubleT]

They already talked about it,and already changed it 2 weeks ago. Droprate is already significantly improved.

I had terrible droprate, heard about the changes and tried again, got 8 atma in 1 night.

So yeah, sorry. Why the heck would they change it even more.

lol whoever you "heard" about the changes from, was pulling your leg, there has been no changes to atma droprates at all, your luck just turned around is all

Placebo effect bro.

Didn't change for me at all. Tried everything including the JSP time thingy.

Stay positive...they may just Ninja Nerf the ATMA drops and make everyone just feel like their luck has changed and then it would seem like SE knew what they were doing all along...LOL

err.... I think Yoshi himself already answered OP on his latest letter.

Not really... at least, not directly in any fashion. All he basically said they'll utilize the feedback from Atma with regards to the Novus chain.

You can't even call that indirectly addressing Atma's, it's addressing Novi.

[BobbinT]

well... it wasn't obvious answer. The point is, they still monitoring this.

I really hate RNG, probably as much as u do. It's still persist tho. ^^;

That's fair. It's nice to nice they are reviewing the feedback & taking it into consideration. I just feel like a Direct Statement needs to be made at this point, with regards to the thousands of postings on Atma Grinding & the sheer time elapsed.

As said in the OP, it's just utterly neglectful now from a business standpoint.

Practically disrespectful to actively paying customers, I might dare to say.

You... HAVE played mmos for awhile, yes? Such a tactic, withholding comment until it is truly needed. This is extremely common for MMO devs to do.

And is it really needed? Many of us wholeheartedly disagree.

Disagreements with devs is not grounds for their need to cater to your demands.

[Gesser]

Who's asking them to cater... asking them to respond whether good news or bad, and fairly I believe (and do many others who are of the opposite mind to those who "wholeheartedly disagree" in your camp).

Also, just because a precedent of behavior is set amongst developers... it doesn't mean they 'ought' or that it's a healthy pattern (not saying that you're insinuating that, by any means).

I suppose my point is that commonplace shouldn't dictate SE's unique relationship with THEIR playerbase.

[Tyce_Rousel]

It's gotten to the point where you're severely neglecting your player-base by purposefully not responding.

I could care less whether it's a "we're going to change it" response or a "working as intended, not going to change" response...

But I think the thousands of posts & probably hundreds of threads spanning every language merits a response.

Please SE, for the sake of Customer Service Justice... just give us a word.

Well now, aren't you just a tad bit entitled.

First off: see here - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/162520

While it may not be the exact response you want, they have heard the whiny folks, and are considering changing/future quests.

Let's see - 2 million players (by their count), "hundreds of threads" buy your count...that doesn't make up a large portion of the population base. If you don't like it, don't do it.
