The Atma Stigma

[A_Magical_Unicorn_Rider]

Considering I have yet to get the 3,000 FATE achievement reward, getting atmas is now a secondary task. Working on my second set for Monk, I'm more inclined to just grind the FATEs for that. If I happen to get atmas, then cool. Of course, I'm still going to go after them, just not as my primary goal.

I can understand why people don't want to put themselves through the grind, but if you really want it, you'll go for it. You'll put in the time and effort to get them, damned if it takes a long while. And yes, I'm quite sure this line has caused a lot of jealousy and resentment between players as some got theirs in several hours, where some have ground for days while not even seeing one. But why worry about what someone else has? Why not just be happy with what you have? I see tons of people with Allagan gear, sometimes I do feel a little jealous considering every time I run Coil I never get anything. But alas, that's their gear and it has nothing to do with me in the end. Point being, I've worked for the things I have and if someone else has the same or better without having put as much effort in, so what? It just makes me want to become better versed with this game and achieve more.

And I have lots of interesting conversation with the friends I've made along the way.
