I need a honest opinion about the Atma drop rate......

06/05/14-06/14/14 Total 12,960 minutes-216 hours-9 DAYS. You may believe me or not but I sincerely kept count of the number of fates I did.

So yeah lets give you 9 days, still a number, which is due the Game impossible to achieve.

Without Sleeping, Eating, Toilet/drink etc, how would that be possible? That is stil 34 Fates an Hour.. for each hour of sleep this number goes up by aprox ~1.8, so even with someone like me who only sleeps aprx 4 hours a day, that would be 40 Fates an hour, NON STOP For 20 Hours STRAIGHT. Go to pee and eat something, the number goes up even more. Work/school etc that number almost doubles to 80....

Some Zones don't even provide 40 Fates an Hour and none actually 80, so let that aside for a second.. how many hours did you really grind them? And the first 6 Days you must have done less, since you "only" went from 0 Fates to 3000 Fates ( since you achievements are not shown i can just assume ), but that you never did a fate before i also a thing which is sort of weird?!

Even if i would want to believe you, i can't really due it's being most likely not possible unless you bot.

You also have to remember that you only need to get Gold from a fate not actual stay for the whole thing while other players finish it.

You only need bronze and you don't even have to WIN.. even a lost Fate can give Atma's, it still does not change a thing that you are not able to participate in that many Fates, if the zone does not provide them. IF one zone only give out lets say 25 Fate an Hour, you can not participate in 40 of them, which you would need to, to achieve the number you've given out.

wanna know what really gives that you are lying away? this right here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-Constituents . thread is going on almost two months of age, meaning you started grinding for atma some time prior/during that time. so please, prove me wrong if you can.

going thru your post history, you are pretty big on complaining about everything, and making sure you make a post on every single issue that comes up for people. i dont think you are a liar, i think you are a hypochondriac.

Of course I slept and ate, but my time eating was no more than 10 minutes in between waiting for fates to pop. As I stated, the total count for fates done was 10, 214, while many may not believe a player would be so meticulous about something. I wanted to prove a point while also showing sincere regret of my previous attitude but showing genuine effort and determination.

Assuming you played 15 days at the 10 hours a day you are stating in the OP, that would mean you completed...

68 fates an hour over those two weeks or a fate every 52 seconds. So please try that number again.
(10,214(fates)/150(hours at 10 per day from the 30th to the 14th) = 68.09 fates per hour)

Not diminishing the amount of time you spent, just the numbers you are using.

you guys sure know....

you can also say "in total I spent xyz amount of time on ..." and not meaning in one sitting

some of you guys really have to much time on their hands trying to prove a random roe wrong :|

except an absolutely insane number was given. its less about proving wrong, and more about trying to stop someone from lying/misinforming others.

This thread is invalid, I got 12 atmas in 32 hours (split up over the course of 10 days) after completing 622 fates. I have still not received "Destiny's Child" or "Let the Bodies hit the floor achievement".

This was my second Atma weapon btw...

Pretty much this. I also spend a lot time in Fates and farming Atma's and Alexandrites, but OP's Numbers are far from an actual "true" possible number. I am not saying that he did not spent a lot of time on them, or that he maybe is really unlucky, but the numbers are just way off and saying "i kept track of them", does not make them more possible.

The way you can prove this is to publish your Lodestone achievement data.

Edit: nvm my bad, I misread it was 2 different FATE achievements.

The thing is, people like the OP are misinforming other people.
Do you know how many members in my FC decided they wouldn't do atmas because of the complaints on the forums? Took some convincing, all right.

People like the OP are exaggerating, blatantly lying and negatively affecting other players (accidentaly or not).

As I said before, yes, it still sucks. But it's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.

The way you can prove this is to publish your Lodestone achievement data.

That'd only prove anything, if the OP didn't do any fates before atma. Which he probably did to level up.

[Radkat]

Anyone can make up fake numbers. The fact that most players who have atma farmed here have much better drop rate than the OP, and also the fact that many players don't even believe those numbers, suggest that the OP is most likely lying.
