Atma grind is an insult to the player's time. read this Dev team.

Let me share something with you SE, Atma Grinding for hours on end to make little to no progress, is not gaming; it's busy work. I find this so incredibly disrespectful how much time you expect your players to sink into just the initial task of this quest. I'm over 20 hours in and I'm only 1/3 of the way.

I've discussed before among the people I play how this game has begun to recycle content in order to stretch out gameplay; but this is a straight up insult. No tangible way of knowing whether I'm making progress with the Atma drop or not; just keep grinding out FATEs until the RNG decides to reward me.

THIS IS A CHORE NOT A GAME, I pay you $13 monthly to enjoy a game not spend hours on top of hours no accomplishing anything.

This is my first time posing in the forums; and it's sad that this is what got me to post. The Dev team needs to do something about this, I don't have 20+ Hours to sink into this game weekly to accomplish little to nothing doing busy work.

this post is an insult to anyone reading. Z.Z seriously, enough with the dam posts. they said they are doing adjustments. get over it. seriously.

The atma quests were SUPPOSED to be a time sink yet be easy to do. If you dont like it, get good and farm levi for your wep. if you cant do that then suck it up and farm. Everyone wants to play an MMO yet get everything handed to them on a silver spoon. You pay to play the game, not pay to win. so many people have that F2P MMO concept about a P2P MMO. they are NOT the same.

Don't like the complaints? Don't read.

Don't like the complaints? Don't read.

Since the Dev dont like complaints either they shouldn't read it right?

Since 2.0 came out the dev team has struggled to keep up with the demand for new content. Implementing grinds using existing content to progress in the game buys them time. This is why you grind fates to get atmas, have to spam old content to get myth and fulfill the requirement of each book, or have to clear ex primals and old coil turns to access new content. At this rate quitting this game for a year would buy you 3-4 months of actual game play in new content after coming back.

im a firm believer that the people who are most upset with rng are just jealous of those who get the particular item faster. theres a couple people in my FC that get salty as hell when the do leviathan/peistskin treasure maps and lose their roll on mirror/bluebird or dont end up with dress material lol but i figure as long as i pay for a subscription, the people im paying will undoubtedly find ways to keep me grinding and paying. giving stuff to us like the initial relics where you could simply get carried through all 3 primal hms/hydra,chimera in less than a day seems to have spoiled some people imo

It's a long term goal. You won't get it in a day. Don't do FATEs all day, you'll go crazy doing that. Farm for an hour or two, do something else to get your mind off it, then go back to farming for another couple hours. Relics are practically handed to you, to make up for that, the Atma is much longer. I think the average amount of FATEs people do before they get 12/12 is ~450. I would like to see the average of everyone who got to 12/12, to see how many FATEs they did to get there.

Just keep at it. Don't expect it to be given to you. Just do something else and take a break.

Another Atma thread....wheee. People wanted the next weapon to be harder to attain, and they got your wish.

Plus, does making a thread with the title "Read this Devs" followed by "X sucks, FIX IT!" actually work (answer: No. Just being rhetorical)? Or are y'all just trying to vent for some catharsis?

As for the time argument. You do with your time what you choose. No one's forcing ya to get the atmas (and they'll likely make it easier later on anywho), but SE isn't putting a proverbial gun to your head on this one. I gave up on Atmas a while back in lieu of extreme Primal weapons for a reason.

Your Atma tears taste delish.

Maybe people are doing Atmas like crazy because they did everything else already? Every new patch only brings small amount of content.
