Would any of you do the Atma grind if you got nothing for it?

That's a question any game developer should ask themselves whenever they make content for a game. If you or your players wouldn't play through something without a reward. Then it means its not fun and should not be placed in the game.

It seems Atma grinds are collectively about 10-15 hours of Fates (this can be spread out over a long time). And personally I see nothing wrong with the time it takes to get them. But I do have a problem with how boring and unfun they can be. Yeah you can tolerate them through listening to music while grinding, chatting on teamspeak, or just having the mental discipline to tough it out.

But no one would do it without a reward. And, that is the problem. That is where the main complaint comes from. The process to obtain the Atma weapon needs to be changed from 15 hours of boring to 15 (or longer if they want) of fun.
