Thank you for all of your hard work. I am really enjoying all of the new content patch 2.2 so far. I think the progressive echo buff is genius and balances difficulty for both stronger players that wont need it as well as weaker players that do. This will keep people from getting over frustrated and being unable to progress. If you choose not to use the buff, just click it off to keep difficulty up. I think it shows that you do your best to listen to feedback and are trying to make the game enjoyable by all.
The Atma drop rate is unfortunately a little to low, but everything can't be perfect on release as much as you try. Finding new uses for the fate system like this is also a great idea. It keeps players spread out and able to enjoy all of the zones as well as allowing us to play with new players. New players also get to see the higher level gear and some of what the game has to offer up front to get them interested. Amazing job and please keep up the good work.
