Viable is another word for feasible or workable, what viable doesn't mean is equivalent. The Atma relic is a feasible weapon to obtain (just look at how many people already have it), but that doesn't mean it has to be just as easy to get as other powerful weapons.

That said, I don't believe Square Enix has ever come out and said that the relic weapon chain is supposed to be considered easy or even viable. So I think what's happening is that some of us may be coming up with our own ideas of what the relic weapon is and then when what we imagined doesn't match the reality, we get disappointed.

Can I ask, why do you feel so strongly about the Atma quest? You talk about people quitting over this, but the relic weapon is just a single item in an entire game. What makes this one thing worth quitting over?
