Honestly The atma grind is nothing compared to previous grinds in MMO's. 1 its RNG your going to luck out or not. Campared to FFXI relic gridn this is cake, and don't complain about time invest vs reward because all the time you spent grinding for Atma you might have beaten coil 2 or something. The grind is long simply for the sole fact that your are casually playing to progress your character instead of straight up death memorization and group syncing to win. Welcome to MMO's if you don't like it it will never change, the grind is real despite how you don't want it to be.
