"Most people don't have Animus yet"...

[Zell1226]

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because the soul sucking Atma farming paired with the soul sucking myth farming paired with the soul sucking book completions of boring low level dungeons, leves, and MORE FATES causes people to get a little bored.

I was so gung-ho about getting my Atma/Animus, but after completing my 2nd book I don't even care anymore, especially since I'm on the verge of getting an i110 weapon. For such a small upgrade with a weapon that isn't even best in slot, it's no wonder why I'm not working for this thing. There's no reason it should be so grindy for such a bad reward. Hell, I basically only like my Atma for vanity. That's it.

I'll get it eventually. But the promise of this thing being upgradable every minor patch doesn't appeal to most people because we aren't sure HOW it's going to be upgraded, or if it'll ever be good. Delaying this further means shooting yourself in the foot to those who worked hard for it.

Well, with the ranting out of the way, how would you fix this?

The Golden Saucer will have relic upgrade pachinko.

I would make a massive quest line, which included boss fights, item drops and difficult challenges.

Kind of like the Primal Focus weapons, but episodic content.

You can take the books more slowly, you know. No one forces you to run Brayflox over and over and over.

Maybe they will make the next upgrade obtainable after beating all of the Ex Primals?

Guess half of the community would be stuck on Atma for the next six months :/

I would probably be on my second book by now from passive myth if not because of the stupid Atma farming gate. My 7th Atma clocked in at 8:30 hours, and my (Not yet obtained) 8th is at 7 and counting. I decided to simply use my time in ANYTHING else but more soul crushing, pointless atma farming that will never get me anywhere.

...

At least they acknowledged that Atma farming is a problem now. They had been silent way too long about this issue.

Let us trade Rowena's Tokens for 300 Myth each.

If they lock Novus behind Extreme Primals I quit. Busted my ass for my Animus because I could do it solo without having to rely on people to get their shit together to progress.
