Any love for ATMAs?

there is nothing fair or grindy about atma. i got 2 in 3 weeks, had around a 600 fate streak of nothing, then i got 2 in one day, and havent gotten anything since. it can last forever and take weeks or months to complete, and there is no certainty that it will ever drop. it was horribly implemented. i already have the soldiery weapon for the class im maining right now, so my complaint isnt about the availability of gear, it is about a possible best in slot, if made right, or even just a customizable weapon, that theyve dangled in front of our faces and has made almost imposible to get with the inconsistency and pure rng of atma

Even though it took me forever I did meet some very nice people

Personally Atma was my 2nd fave part so far in the relic quest line. I've so far farmed 3 sets of Atmas, I have my SMN Novus, my SCH Atma, and 12 Atmas awaiting for NIN to finally come along (unless it sucks, then just going to make Bravura). I personally enjoyed the Atma farm, it actually made me like some FATES not all, some are just annoying to do. My first set took about 26ish hrs in a matter of 3 days total when the system first came out. My second set took about 46hrs total in about 5 days, and my last set I just farmed up took about 20ish hrs in a total of 6 days. If you consistently farm each and every FATE you can make it too, even if you don't think you'll make it book it to there! Those were the ones I got most my Atmas from, the ones I didn't think I'd get to in time, and just farm farm farm!

Personally I think this system was poorly implemented, but did I enjoy it? Yes. So much easier imho than evil books >< I NEVER wana do that again, of course this was before Hunts so Spamflox nothxkbai. I'm not saying everyone who is stuck on the Atma stage isn't trying their hardest, it is unfair to some people who don't always have RNG in their favor. I hope within reasonable amount of time they alleviate the drop rate, would I be upset if they did? Nope, just means I might go for more Relics. GL to all who still need Atmas!

only found 3 atmas in a 1 week worth of farming fates and gave up and started working on my i110 bow from sold tomes that is easier to do then lame ass atma farming

I've farmed atma while waiting on queue for a few months and still do--- nothing dropped.

Yet when ST was released I got oil and and then UAT the following week. Certainly Atmas are "easy" but the range is discouraging! I can't even join parties or use my chocobo else my queue will be canceled.

I probably won't bother getting relic for my WAR once I hit 50 since I just got leviathan axe a few days ago.
