The Atma Stigma

[Krr]

Wow, haves who are successful, partially through luck, disregarding that luck and telling have-nots who are fed up and can't succeed because they didn't have that luck to bootstrap. It's like I'm really in America!

At one point I was a have-not. So I bootstrapped. Now I have 2 weapons. See how that works?

No. No I don't.

You're confusing "Keep at it guys" with "Guys, whichever god you worship, you better hope they're in a fu**ing good mood"

SURE, yes, I will give to you that eventually something will drop. It may take a few minutes, or a couple of years. Eventually it'd drop, but is the system actually good?.

SE can, theoretically, set a threshold where an Atma will only drop after every 100 FATEs, but has a 70% chance in every FATE that the counter will reset, rising exponentially to the point that, at the 99th FATE, the chance to reset the counter is 99.9%, with the technical specification being, rolling a number from 0 to 999.999 will reset the counter, rolling 1.000.000 will not.

Eventually, perhaps in a few days, or perhaps in a couple decades, someone will get it. But is that system not a complete chocobo dung?

People really need to start looking at the core problem. Has anyone ever complained that the relic quest is a complete bull? Because I have never seen such a thing. Someone will invariably complain about Titan's inherent dependency to awesome internet connection, but nobody has ever complained about the system as a whole, because it works well: you know your progress, you know the goal, you know what you need to do, you know how to do it, and the goalpost stays put. No RNG involved, pure skill and effort.

Now, I want you to go ahead and tell me, with a straight face: "Yes, I definitely find having to repeatedly do low level FATE in Western Thanalan with my item level 90 job, where all of my efforts to level and gear up that character is lost, to be a good system".

Can you do that?
