Time to move on since Square Enix does not listen to its Constituents

I like the atma as is. And no I don't have one yet. People are complaining that they have nothing to do. Well here is your answer!

Just out of curiosity, how many people here know about the Japanese Time Zone and Atma drop theory? Google it.

According to the theory, each zone has a specific time where Atma drops are more frequent. Lots of people are reporting that the theory is solid, making the grind much less of a pain.

And another casual player bites the dust.lol

There is nothing "not casual" about the Zodiac quest line, if you like hardcore punishment you are probably in your element though.

It's amusing to see so many people saying "oh no what will we do without you" etc, part of me hopes a huge portions of players will leave and put you F'ers in your places and the game fails again.

BUT .. considering as I enjoy this game I hope that doesn't happen, but SE do need to listen before it turns a lot of "Casual" players away.

I don't consider myself casual and spent years of playing games like EQ and FF11 were grind was the standard and I don't think that in this generation it is welcomed by many.. at least any who have lives outside of the game.

Sorry that you have been disappointed.

The game plays beautifully for the most part up until end game, imo.. except that they rocket you up there very quickly.

End game follows the theme park format with focus on farming tomes (Farmville... you could be farming vegetables or candy or anything else... doesn't matter... it's just farming).

Unfortunately, they can't produce new theme park rides fast enough, so they are rehashing content, recycling, and repeating in the extreme. There is coil 2 and some extreme rehashed content for the raiders/ skill based challenge folks- everything else is repeating the same scripted content ad nauseam. It's a shame, because after the great story... it really does become a hub game that feels like a re-skinned WoW.

Then they combined the worst of all worlds to rehash FATES, ad nauseam, to farm, with extreme RNG.

The re-done game was fabulous. Unfortunately, the "new" stuff is just awful, imo and it saddens me greatly. Taking a break is a good idea... unfortunately, the further they get from the original content - and more "new" rehashed stuff they do... you might notice instead of wanting to come back... you just become more and more happy you left.

After being a loyal Subscriber for over 9 months to FF14 ARR, I am sad to say that to me its time to suspend my account over the absolute disregard SE has to not listening to its the wrong player base.

I think you mean this.
Before 2.2 there were some threads about open world content, were a group of players get together to farm rare stuff for a long time by killing enemies or something like this

Every business has that customer that always complains with the favorite phrase "OMG you don't listen or care about your customers, I'm never giving you my business again" Then come back in a month or a week and do the same thing all over again.


It is all just "Look at me"

Just out of curiosity, how many people here know about the Japanese Time Zone and Atma drop theory? Google it.

According to the theory, each zone has a specific time where Atma drops are more frequent. Lots of people are reporting that the theory is solid, making the grind much less of a pain.

Or it's completely random and people like to find patterns in randomness. It was never a real theory. Just a hypothesis posited on a blog that someone found, posted to reddit, and people assumed was true. It was not tested in any way that could qualify the hypothesis as actually true. The only reason people are doing it is because it came from someone who spoke Japanese. Every single person is just using this as some justification for why they got a drop because somehow the Japanese are smarter so this random blog post must be true!

If following this "theory" helps you feel better about it then by all means continue, but it does not work that way. It is random. Many people in my FC have done exactly as described and got NO drops in the times specified. It's random. This "theory" needs to die.
